As a public service to readers with self inflicted injuries here are some handy hangover cures from famous heavy drinkers.
Ernest Hemmingway provides a cure that Cactus Kate may approve of:
Death in the Afternoon — named after his 1932 bullfighting tale — involves an absinthe and champagne blend. Hemingway described how to mix the hangover helper, which requires a healthy dose to take effect. “Pour 1 jigger of absinthe into a champagne glass. Add iced champagne until it attains the proper opalescent milkiness. Drink three to five of these slowly.”
