Most drinkers have experienced the dreaded hangover at some point in their lives. The nausea, pounding headaches, exhaustion, body ache, and sensitivity to lights and sounds is certainly no walk in the park. Yet drinkers invariably return to the sauce within days or weeks even after the most brutal hangovers. Do we drink to excess because it's human nature to want to alter your consciousness? Or is it because of pure stupidity? Well, it's probably a little bit of both - but if we demonstrate a little bit of intelligence and planning this Holiday weekend, we will all be able to party without the nasty side effects the next morning.
