A doctor told me that a sure fire way to avoid a hangover is to drink one glass of water for every two of booze (it's a good way to keep the glass clean too, I'm such a slob!).

I lost one of my few good teeth to breakfast cereal too (I never got a full set of adult teeth for some bizarre genetic reason) so losing a tooth to healthy eating was a particular bind.

The two subjects dovetail perfectly because it was a bank holiday weekend and the only way I could numb the agony was by holding brandy in my mouth...oh the memories.
