Thanks Tom. I saw the movie but didn't recognize him. I like the meme—a Tylenol headache. But do be careful with Tylenol (acetaminophen) as it is one of the most dangerous of OTC meds but is usually not labelled as such. A typical dose is 500 mg and three times that is liver toxic. What? Where am I?

This is true.

IIRC: The toxicity occurs in the liver when both acetaminophen and alcohol are being metabolized at the same time.

There's a byproduct that wrecks yer shit.

Tylenol is not a solution for a hangover.

The actual solution is to get up and make a fresh cocktail.

Like a boss.

Hangovers are often just dehydration.

My hangovers are from getting WRECKED.

Yes. The cure: as much water as you can drink, and a little more, and then wait an hour or few.

Hangovers go away if you drink enough. The body adapts. Although then you withdraw from alcohol if you stop drinking, and that's like a mega hangover with a chance of death.

Good times.
