Collard green dolmathes were ludicriously delicious. I'm never buying grape leaves again.

How did you prep the collard greens? Boil them, steam them? I'm quite interested but I've never really worked with collard greens. I'll do it for awesome dolmathes though.

I am the best mover ever. I am a huge bossy rear end in a top hat but things get loving done. I am so used to lifting, carrying, and packing trucks at work that dealing with "amateurs" is super frustrating. Who the gently caress doesn't wait for a count or an "up" when lifting something?

I also once moved into a house with 5 other stagehands. We "borrowed" a box truck from a lighting company we worked for and in one long night loaded, moved, and unloaded 4 apartments worth of stuff into our new house. It was magic at work.

Just had my first shift ever at a restaurant, I handled drinks and coffee, and it was VERY good weather today, so it was busy.

My feet hurt. And my arm. I can't decide whether to get drunk or lie down. Maybe I'll do both. Can't decide in the order to do it in then.

Well if you get drunk enough, you kinda automatically lay down. It may not be on something you want to lay down on. I would suggest laying down first. Congratulations on surviving, though.

Make sure you maintain a 1:1 ratio of water to drank, probably more if your weather is hot. It keeps the hangover away and makes sure you don't get regular dehydrated in this hot weather. Also congratulations.

I get you're saying to stay hydrated, but if the rule you mention were true you could pound 40% abv shots all night and never get a hangover because you are at a ratio of 3:2 water:alcohol. :v:

Probably placebo. Or perhaps the moderating effect of consuming something other than alcohol (e.g., intake of other liquids results in a lower intake of alcohol). This is one of those subjects that comes up every so often and there's a study conducted to investigate the efficacy of various hangover remedies, and they never vary statistically from placebo.

http://www.annals.org/content/132/11/897.full seems to suggest that rehydration is an effective strategy - it certainly alleviates certain hangover symptoms (dry mouth, for example).

If you look at what that paper actually says, it amounts to the fact that some people report feeling some amount better. The authors actually highlight the problem(s) with this as a meaningful conclusion---there is no standard clinical definition for hangover, and there are no standard clinical diagnostic criteria for evaluating the alleviation of hangover symptoms. This is why the authors explicitly refrain from engaging in formal analysis.

That's pretty much the situation if you do a search on pubmed or wherever to look for peer reviewed material on the subject; a whole bunch of difficult to correlate or evaluate self-reported stuff, and essentially no hard clinical data (e.g. data collected in double blind conditions) and no overall consensus on either the subject being studied (!) or what diagnostic instrument to use when studying it.

If you look outside peer-reviewed papers, the subject is, if you can imagine, even worse, with all kinds of parroting of old wives' tales as the gospel truth and nothing but a bunch of vague hand-waving and a tangled undirected graph of self-references as support.

There's almost certainly no downside to drinking water. And alcohol is a diuretic. So there's an air of plausibility about it. And if it makes you feel better, well more power to ya. But the science just ain't there.
