Essentially a very Irish answer to a hangover is to get right back up on that high stool and order another drink. “The hair of the dog” can often be the best solution to that horrific headache. When it seems nothing can take the edge away, just breathe a sigh of inevitability as you walk through the door of your local pub, retracing your movements from the night before. If you can’t beat the hangover then distill it.

So there you have it. A few guidelines to beating the effects of the night before. Let us know how you they work for you!

I suggest that in early March of next year that IC publish the ten best ways to avoid any such hangovers in the first place.

More stereotypical self-loathing stupidity from IC.

Both parents, R.I.P., were from County Leitrim. After marching in the NYC parade with Power Memorial Academy, we had sit-down meal with open bar. After two red wines -- my daily maximum -- I went to a "Boomer" dance; didn't have a drink. Met a very nice lady who wanted to continue partying at next door Irish pub with her lady friend "until it closes", says she. Long story short, I wasn't about to do that, having reached my minimum and the pub overflowing. Got her number and called her yesterday. I am very happy with day and night.

IC prints columns protesting St. Patrick's Day merchandize that portray the Irish as the stereotypical drunks and then this column appears the day after St. Pat's Day. Doesn't this "advice" just reinforce the stereotypes you were protesting prior to Mar. 17.? What were you thinking, IC? You can't have it both ways and maintain any credibility.

Who needs stereotypes when Irish Central does it for us? Even by the shabby standards of Irish Central, this is very poor stuff, composed while either fighting or acquiring a hangover. Do all your correspondents write their articles on an iPhone at a bar counter? In what sense is a Polish remedy a top Irish hangover tip? Hair of the dog, incidentally, is a British expression, going all the way back to Shakespeare's time, but I wouldn't expect a 12-year-old rookie journalist to know such things.

My own personal cure is to learn,speak, write and think in the Irish language. Suas leis an nGaeilge!

After all the high dudgeon about equating St. Patrick's Day with excessive drinking (and the fun of it), you post an article about the inevitable hangovers following St. Patrick's Day./ Hmmm.

Amasing with all the efforts to avoid insulting merchandise on St Patrick's Day, and earlier year efforts to get Hallmark cards to stop selling drunken-Irish cards- your top story today is how to cure a hang-over!
