re: Drinking to excess tonight - when and how much Pedialyte?

Pedialyte and two aspirins when you go to bed.

Bourbon and water. Never more that 50/50.

Try to drink more water than bourbon.

You can drink well over a fifth and feel perfectly fine the next day.

If you feel truly off the next day. There are likely two things happening. Dehydration obviously. But also... If you consumed shitty alcohol, the higher alcohols are in your system. Poison. The cure for methanol poisoning, high quality ethanol.

Make a bloody Mary, but use high quality vodka. Combine it with hydrating and you'll be right as rain.
