last night i went out with my coteacher to this grungy little bar and we started drining the south korean wiskey in little cups that they use, you know the sfuff in teh little green bottles.. i am not looking forward to teaching my first class at 2:45, i only hope i find a place that sells tylonal before then, the local convenience store didn't have it. i can drink a fair bit of beer and spirits but nothing like my coteacher and i made the mistake of trying to keep up with him. my stomach feels better after i puked twice but my head is freaking killing me. is there some hair of the dog you can do that will take the edge off or what do you more experienced sojo drinkers recomend?

[definitely maybe]

you're only going to find tylenol at a pharmacy.

That stuff is poison, man. I drank half a bottle of decent vodka last night and I feel a just bit winded this morning, but if I had the same amount of soju I'd be crawling for sure.

Hydration is the key for beating hangovers. You're throwing up, which makes it tough, but buy a BIG bottle of Gatorade/Powerade and sip on it for the next couple of hours.

Also, burnt toast with honey usually helps me. Apparently the carbon acts as some sort of absorbent/filter. Not sure about the science, but it works for me.

(1) Drink a lot of "Pocari Sweat".

(2) Go to a bathouse and sit in the sauna for a long time, then jump in the really cold pool then sauna again then cold pool.. do this for an hour or so. (shower after the sauna and before getting in the pool)

(3) Drink more pocari

(4) Eat something.

exercise. Hit the gym, go for a run, climb a mountain. If you lounge around doing nothing the hangover will last all day. You will feel like *beep* for the first 20 minutes or so but once that blood gets pumping the hangover will just clear

The answer is clear .... more Soju of course! Take a swig and watch the hangover vanish. Well, it works, but it might not be such a good idea if you have to work. Steer clear of the Tylenol. It is bad for your liver. Just drink a ton of water.

eat hae-jang-gook: that's how the koreans do it

Ibuprofen > Tylenol.

Lots of water + ibuprofen = hangover cure!

That's why I brought max strength Excedrin before I came :-p

Yea, pocari sweat, tons of water, eat some ramen and go for a walk.
