Kelsey Rahn, online designer, on chocolate milk…
My usual routine
My system consists of me staying curled up in bed for as long as possible. When I finally do emerge, I swallow an Excedrin (extra strength) and scarf down an everything bagel and a Coke.
The alternate remedy
This week, the night after a happy hour turned into an all-night, midweek binge, I decide to put a new hangover cure to the test: chocolate milk. Now, just the thought of chocolate milk sloshing around in my semi-lactose-intolerant belly with last night's beer makes me want to gag. But I've acquired the creamiest chocolate milk I could find (from Ronnybrook Farm Dairy's milk bar in Chelsea Market), so I pry myself out of bed and down the whole thing. Then I sit waiting—waiting for my stomach to explode or for it all to come back up. Four hours later I am still waiting. And my hangover is gone!
chocolate milk works the best for me despit my lactose intolerance, and believe me i've tried them all!
One i've been using for a while now is Lifeline Hangover Defence. I've had to buy it from overseas but its in the UK now! This stuff has saved me on many occasion, it bloody works! All you do is take it within an hour of your first drink. Anyone who is interested, I get it from <a href="http://www.hecticlifestyles.co.uk">www.hecticlifestyles.co.uk</a>. According to the website, they will be served up at the ITV soap awards 2009, so they must be good!

The best cure is a bowl of borscht at Veselka before heading home. I'll wake up the next day clear as a bell.
