Einhverjir eiga kannski eftir að skvetta einum of mikið í sig annað kvöld en ég vona allavega að engum sem þetta les eigi eftir að líða svona á nýársdag - lýsingin er úr bókinni The South American Gentleman's Companion: Being an exotic drinking book, Or, Up & down the Andes with jigger, beaker & flask:

"You awake to blazing light like a hot brazen sword at base of skull. Your scorched blanket-hot eyelids smart like salted live raw beef. In your querulous-queasy stomach lies a heap of tallow golf balls. Your tongue is a gun-wad of old burlap batting. Yestereve's mixes have long since quit all benefit and have departed to greener pastures, leaving a residual aftertaste offering a fine blending of the overalls in Mrs. Murphy's chowder and a well-aged Norse snow-shoe moccasin - if there be such a thing. Apparently a crock of ice-water is the 1st possible, your sole, salvation. ... The sharp truth is that of the very nature of the beast there is no hurried cure for a top-flight triple-distilled hangover like this."

En svo koma auðvitað ansi margar tillögur um úrbætur - verst að margar þeirra innihalda absint, sem erfitt er að nálgast hér. Efnafræðistúdentinn lumar reyndar á absintflöskukorni en ég hugsa að hvorugt okkar muni þurfa á því að halda. Ekki ég allavega.
