Water can't do you much good if you can't keep it down... and horking on the job isn't cool anyway. Last time I drank too much I couldn't keep down anything more than a sip or two of water every few hours for about a 24 hour period, and forget about food. I had gone WAY overboard though, to the point of blackouts.

Did you drink any more water after throwing up? I bet you lost a lot of it while vomiting.

That reduces the effects for me, it doesn't get rid of them. If I drank 10 different things the night before, there's going to be a ton of hurting the next day and there's nothing I can do about it. Mixing poisons = bad.

You're right about the ton of hurting. I did drink more water...and I'm drinking a lot today too. What Gurck says is also somewhat true today for me too I think. The worst thing is, I would be fine with all the hurting if I just didn't have to act like I wasn't. lol I'm literally sitting here, typing this all and I think I'm going to be sick. Highly embarrassing if that were to happen. Lord have mercy on my stupid soul.

you'll be outta work soon enough. a break for lunch will be good and then after work you can rest and then do some studying. keep drinking some water and dont stare too long at your computer. i know you'll be fine....

plus take lots of phone breaks

I think PHO is too much oil and water ... I've tried PHO before after a hang over and it didn't seem to work well. Just drink water slowly and eat small meals.

Go out to lunch and have Hair of the Dog. Prefferably Vodka as it doesn't have much of an odor

You're screwed, until you get a good nights sleep.

Being hungover at work is miserable. I used to party at least a couple weekdays each week.. don't do it any more, but I don't miss the hangovers and going to work with only 3 hours of sleep.

Hehe, thanks everyone. Just had MacDonald's for lunch; a cheeseburger and fries. Still feeling pretty sh!tty, but nonetheless, still better than I was feeling this morning. Thanks for all the advice and commiseration.
