Advantages: Calms your stomach completely, Stops acid reflux, Stops nauses and diarrhea

Disadvantages: Tastes horrible, Pretty expensive, Black stools!!!

It's the morning after. Did you really say that? You didn't really do that, did you? Not with that person!? But worse, far worse, your head's banging, your stomach feels like Vesuvius about to erupt, you're dizzy as hell and you actually want to die. Reach for the peptobismal QUICK.

Peptobismal is not promoted as a hangover cure. It is in fact a medicine for stomach problems, including inflammation, diarrhea, nausea, indigestion, heartburn and that old hangover favourite, flatulence. As well as containing ingredients which act on the stomach problem, it also contains a pain-killer, so will deal with a headache too.

Looks: It is a totally unnatural shocking pink (rather like the inside of chip-shop sausages) that is best perused with sunglasses if you're feeling delicate.

Consistency: Very thick, like a McDonald's milkshake (another excellent hangover treatment, btw, if you can stand the thought that it's thickened with liquefied chicken fat). Like a McD milkshake, it works by coating the stomach walls.

Taste: Pretty vile, but worth it. The anti-nausea ingredient ensures you won't throw it up again even though it feels like you will when you're swallowing it.

Effects: Marvellous. Within 10 minutes I feel like a new person. That horrible shaky, gaseous feeling eases right down to a mere dull rumble, and all thoughts of throwing up just disappear.

How to take: It comes with a dosing cup. Adults take 30 ml up to 8 times a day (maximum dosage highly recommended by me). Children (who shouldn't have hangovers but do get other tummy upsets) take half that amount.

Contraindications: not for asthmatics, pregnant women, people on anti-coagulants or who are sensitive to aspirin

Cost: £2.99 to £4.99 depending what size you buy (120 ml or 240 ml). So it's not cheap if you're taking maximum dosage, but then you didn't care about money last night when
you were throwing it at the barmaid for those triple bacardi and anything's, did you?

Disadvantages: On exiting the toilet after opening ones bowels, one might be faced with the truly mortifying surprise that ones stools are the colour of coal. But worry not, normal service will resume upon cessation of medication.

Heartily recommended!
