Hangover cure
A friend of mine swears by a bowl of corn flakes and milk - preferably as soon as you come home after a big night out. Now I did read something several moons ago that milk was indeed helpful should you have imbibed in alcohol a little toooooo much - so the milk part might be the answer.

Don't forget to rehydrate with plenty of water today and Did you make a New Year's resolution?
