It's my day off after a busy bank holiday weekend and I find myself three sheets to the wind. Trouble is my friend is popping over in about an hour and I need to appear sober.

Aside from eating a bowl of coffee, what can I do, thanks!

Face -> toilet -> flush.

No, honestly, couldn't tell you.

A professional astro-bastard was not available so they sent me.

Go for a run or the gym. If your not into that, more shots and you wont care how you appear when your friend arrives. I find the best cure for a hang over is never be sober and just not stop drinking.

FYI

Situations like this are why some people start using coke.

Unless you know of a way to dramatically speed up your metabolism, there's not much you can do.

Avoid walking. Lots of mouthwash.

Or you could try jogging. Don't use a treadmill though, it didn't work so well for Adam Savage

I'm going to have a coffee and a poo and hope for the best.

To reduce the hangover make yourself a drink. Or have a beer or something. It helps.
If you´re still pissed then you are ****** :D

Coffee just makes you a more animated drunk. The poo will, however, put a spring in your step.

Eat dry toast, it will absorb some of the alcohol still in your stomac which will delay it from getting into your blood.

Have a bite to eat and drink a pint of water.

ROFL.

For the future, if you get too drunk and you get home and need to work the next day, put the finger to the throat to get rid of the alcohol and go to sleep. You will be 80% efficient then when you go to work next day.

It is still the best solution by far.
Whatever you do, do NOT go to sleep with a belly full of beer if you are going to work the next day.
You are welcome to try without the finger to the throat and with to see the difference.
Its a BIG difference.

PS: It is also suggested to go for a meal thats full of rashers,eggs,sausages, pudding/ Basically full of greess. Its helps with the soacking.

I have decided to accept my fate and continue drinking regardless.

If anyone finds me solo roaming later today I suggest you engage me.

I think food and water are best.

You could just take lots of drugs and your friend will be more worried about that and they probably wont ask how much you had to drink.

Red beers were common with my customers in the morning which is just beer + V8. One of them used to add pepper to his.

This weekend I served two 18 year old girls dressed as captain america and uh.. the hulk who both looked quite adorable. I'm old so acted suitably professional but my colleagues were mostly drooling and acting like morons with hard-ons and were jealous that I 'got to' serve them.

I thanked them for their upstanding public duty as heroes and hoped they enjoyed their movie-going experience.

How drunk you are is based on the alcohol / blood ratio, and cannot be lowered quickly. The liver breaks down the alcohol at a set rate, so no amount of exercise or such will matter.

Coffee will make you more alert and compensate for the depressant effects of the alcohol, but will do nothing to stop you from dancing naked on the bar - may even increase the chance as you will now be awake enough to think of it.
