Don’t let a hangover rain on your (Pride) parade

The thing to remember about a hangover is that there is no cure-all that will fix the morning-after blues with a few herbal pills and a glass of water. However, research and experience shows that if you follow these simple steps, you will be in better shape than when you woke up with that piercing headache and nausea stirring up last nights dinner.
