6. Worst alcohol combination ever.
Jeagermeister and champagne. If your lucky, the worst that will happen to you is waking up face down in a ditch somewhere miles from home.

18. How about a big honkin' nacho?
Although my wife is downstairs watching Coronation Street. It might be a tad suspicious, no?

34. Depends on what you do with the nacho. Better try a cantaloupe.

13. I dunno...
.... I mix beverages now and then and generally don't see much difference. As long as the total alcohol consumed does not pass the magic threshold, it's all good :)

25. Depends on how much is consumed over what period of time
One pre-dinner mixed drink, beer with dinner, and after-meal glass of wine should be fine...........

What kind of quantities are we talking about here?

33. You might be ok...
if you ate a lot, and it was fairly heavy food. Try taking a couple of Ibuprofin (Advil), and make sure you drink a full glass of water with it.

Sometimes, if my stomach's a little queasy, I'll drink a coca-cola (pepsi's not as effective) or a ginger ale; but rehydration is of utmost importance in avoiding a hangover.

29. Wake yourself up and take two ibuprofin and a heaping glass
of water. If you have any antacids, suck on one (Tums or Rolaids)before retiring. Or take a Zantac. All are drug store meds. In the a.m. take a multivitamin with lots of fluids, and a glass of O.J. You should feel pretty good. Although you may get the shits. In that case stay close to home. At this point I don't recommend meds because you don't want to get bound up, which dehydrating your system the night before will do.

31. yes
i had a friend who decided this would be some sort of good idea...

He mixed them all together, his face turned bright red and his eyes watered.... and he didn't even chug the glass.

i found it hilarious

good luck with waking up

32. Only if you drink it afterwards.
or beforewards, that is, mixing it in your belly. A half bottle of wine in the fridge after running out of beer cost me a year of college not being able to touch beer. And a half year after that of not being able to finish a bottle unless I downed it before it got even slightly warm.

I'm all better now, fortunately.
