Ugh. Overindulged a bit last night. Fortunately I’ve got no headache or queasy guts, but my hands are really shakey this morning. (This teeny-ass keyboard ain’t helping). Anyone have a suggestion? ---

I am not a Medic: A few alcohol free days and some fresh air might well do the trick. If it doesn’t go away soon - get some advice from your GP. ---

Is hangover advice medical, spiritual, or philosophical? Because I’m not sure which forums those are. ---

Rehydrate and eat something. After a night of heavy drinking, some fruit juice and a decent meal usually set me straight. YMMV, IANAD, and all that. ---

Have a big glass of water and dance wildly on the way to the bathroom. Then collapse on a couch or bed. ---

How long exactly did this over-indulgence go on for? shaky hands is a sign of alcohol withdrawal in someone who is physically addicted, which means regular heavy drinking for at least 3 weeks. So um, a drink might help the problem temporarily. Or it should go away in a day or two. ---
