All these unusual cures are in the mind aren't they? Does anyone know exactly how to feel better without using a placebo, I'd love to know. I get hangovers even without drinking much
You're right, it is completely in the mind. For instance, I know that these days I can drink until I pass out and still not be sick, either then or the next day. Wasn't like that during my younger days, I'd be sick on a regular basis. I've been sick twice in the apst 3-4 years. The first time was because I'd been drinking all day, then decided to shoot about 2/3's of a bottle of sake. Not because I like the stuff, I just thought it'd be amusing to scream "SAKE!" then have a shot. Had a power chuck in the laundry sink, passed out on the floor, felt fine the next day. 2nd time was after drinking about half a carton, then myself and 3 other mates drank 2 bottles of Bacardi in the space of about 20 minutes. We had them in the form of 'buckets'. They do them in Asia. Basically you get a sand bucket, pour half a bottle of rum in there, 2 cans of redbull, Thai redbull if you can get it, then top up with coke. Chuck 20 or so straw in there and drink as fast as possible.
I was pretty smashed and headed back to my tent (we were camping). Sat under a tree for a while, threw up then though to myself, "this is soft...", headed back down and said to the guys "I was going to go to bed, then I realised I was soft!", opened another beer, skolled half of it then passed out on the grass for about 3 hours. Going for a surf the next day wasn't too flash...
I don't get sick from it any more because I
believe that I won't, it's that simple. If you start getting paranoid about it, you'll make yourself sick. I just happen not to care any more so I always feel fine the next day.
