Hangover Cure ( my bed is calling )

Thanks, that's a good point about the dangers of raw egg; that "tip" was to be able to drink more not for hangovers. My guess is that raw egg acts as coating on the stomach whereas a cooked egg would not work that way.

Anyway, I don't really have problems with hangovers, but I'd like to be able to drink more before getting drunk.

The raw egg wouldn't be able to withstand the hydrochloric acid in your stomach long enough to provide any sort of coating. And the alcohol in your stomach is not the problem, it's when it enters the rest of the digestive system and bloodstream that's the issue. Coating your stomach wouldn't serve much purpose. Eating high protein food and spreading out your drinks is the only way you'd be able to improve drinking more. If you eat quite a bit you can slow the absorption for several hours or more. Also the faster you drink, the quicker your BAC is going to skyrocket, getting you drunk faster. Just eat a big meal first and pace yourself and you should be okay. The liver can only filter one drink per hour so if you overdo it you're kind of f^cked no matter what preventative measures you take.

Thanks, I do pace myself, but my sister-in-law's husband is Russian so you can see how that can be a problem =)
