Let me help you fellas out. I don't want you guys to have to spend the day after the Title Game doing anything but rejoicing in a victory, not feeling like you are going to die.
1) When you are drinking, have a water every once in a while. For those of you that aren't 21 still, you're old and you cant drink like you could back in college. For those of you that are 21, you wont be young forever.
2) Before you go to sleep, drink two glasses of water and two ibuprofen.
3) First thing in the morning, drink a tall glass of water, a tall glass of OJ and eat a banana. Don't eat anything but the banana for at least an hour.
4) While you are waiting to eat. Take a shower, grab a cup of coffee and take a leisurely walk around the block.
5) Then... and only after at least an hour... eat a healthy breakfast.
V'iola... your hangover cure in less than two hours.

Scientifically proven that the best hangover cure is a thick bacon sandwich. The carbs help your stomach, and the protein and fats in the pork help with the headaches and acheiness.

What part? This has worked for me for years. I have told many people about it and not one person has ever told me that it didn't work for them.

James Bond Martini recipe
3 oz gin
1 oz vodka
1/2 oz Lillet® Blanc wine
Pour the gin, vodka and Lillet blanc into a cocktail shaker half-filled with cracked ice. Shake well, and strain into a chilled cocktail glass. Garnish with a twist of lemon, and serve.
The Vesper or Vesper Martini is a cocktail that was originally made of gin, vodka, and Kina Lillet.
Origin
The drink was invented and named by fictional secret agent James Bond in the 1953 novel Casino Royale.
"A dry martini," [Bond] said. "One. In a deep champagne goblet." "Oui, monsieur." "Just a moment. Three measures of Gordon's, one of vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice-cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?" "Certainly, monsieur." The barman seemed pleased with the idea. "Gosh, that's certainly a drink," said Leiter. Bond laughed. "When I'm...er...concentrating," he explained, "I never have more than one drink before dinner. But I do like that one to be large and very strong and very cold and very well-made. I hate small portions of anything, particularly when they taste bad. This drink's my own invention. I'm going to patent it when I can think of a good name." —Ian Fleming, Casino Royale
The novel goes on with Bond telling the barman, after taking a long sip, "Excellent ... but if you can get a vodka made with grain instead of potatoes, you will find it still better," and then adds in an aside, "Mais n'enculons pas des mouches"(English: But let's not bugger flies—a vulgar French expression meaning "let's not split hairs").
Bond eventually calls it the Vesper, named after the novel's lead female character, Vesper Lynd. A Vesper differs from Bond's usual cocktail of choice, the martini, in that it uses both gin and vodka, Kina Lillet instead of the usual dry vermouth, and a lemon peel instead of an olive. Although there is a lot of discussion on the Vesper, it is only ordered once throughout Fleming's novels - although Bond drinks the Vesper ("six of them") in the film of Quantum of Solace - and by later books Bond is ordering regular vodka martinis, though he also drinks regular gin martinis.
In actuality the book version of the Vesper was created by Fleming's friend Ivar Bryce. In Bryce's copy of Casino Royale Fleming inscribed "For Ivar, who mixed the first Vesper and said the good word." In the book You Only Live Once, Bryce details that Fleming was first served a Vesper by the butler at the Duncans but this drink consisted of frozen rum with fruit and herbs.[2]
Contemporary versions
- Since both Kina Lillet and Gordon's have been reformulated since 1953, substitutes can be made that attempt to recapture the original flavour of the drink:
- Lillet Blanc is the closest possible choice for Kina Lillet-- the "Kina" was dropped due to market relevance, as European tastes have run more to sweeter drinks than digestifs.
- Cocchi Americano is considered an acceptable substitute.
- For a more traditional flavour, use 100-proof Stolichnaya vodka to bring the alcohol content of the vodka back to 1953 levels.
- Tanqueray gin provides the traditional flavour of 94-proof gin; whereas Gordon's Gin has been reformulated to less than 80-proof.
- A modern cocktail glass, which is larger today than was common in 1953, is often substituted for the deep Champagne goblet (see Champagne stemware for the original look of the drink)
Variations
Some prefer to substitute Boodles British Gin, as it is named for Boodle's gentlemen's club, of which Ian Fleming was a member.
A "Green Vesper" substitutes absinthe for the Kina Lillet. Lime peel may be substituted for lemon.
A "Matin" substitutes the Italian aperitif Campari for the Kina Lillet, and reverses the proportions of gin and vodka.
Esquire printed the following update of the recipe in 2006: "Shake (if you must) with plenty of cracked ice. 3 oz Tanqueray gin, 1 oz 100-proof Stolichnaya vodka, 1/2 oz Lillet Blanc, 1/8 teaspoon (or less) quinine powder or, in desperation, 2 dashes of bitters. Strain into a chilled cocktail glass and twist a large swatch of thin-cut lemon peel over the top.[3]

Nice Bog. I like my martinis dirty. about 4-5oz of gin, a touch of vermouth and a big dash of olive brine. Preferred gins are Plymouth, Hendricks or Miller's. If going cheap either boodles or beefeater. Of course shaken and not stirred. Yummy.

Why do I feel like the biggest heel in the world drinking Busch Light and Natty? A huge sum of money (Like 20bucks) comes my way and I upgrade to Corona or Guinness and I'm like a pig in poo.
I need a new job...
