…and this weekend i learnt it:
1) put a large piece of meat on your fork.
2) turn your head to the side and exhale all the air in your lungs.
3) down vodka in one gulp.
4) immediately eat meat.
it’s a simple technique but there is logic behind it. some vodka has a very high proof, so high in fact that it will burn your insides should you have any air in them. exhaling first prevents this tragedy. eating the meat stops you getting totalled in the space of a few minutes and instead allows you to get totalled over a few hours. the russians even have a word for it which means ‘eat and drink at the same time’. it doesn’t stop your head hurting in the morning though. for that there is another in the long line of natural remedies – pickle juice.
