... just watched a repeat of the usually excellent 'QI'; where
Fry quoted a dietician, Catherine Collins, as saying 'most fluids
are good for a hangover'.

Perhaps not hydrogen cyanide or mustard-gas, both of which
are fluids under normal conditions. She meant liquids, of course.
This woman is giving advice to other people and doesn't even
understand a funadamental physical distinction !!!
Zero points to the QI gnomes for not spotting this [img]http://bgafd.co.uk/forum/smileys/idontbelieveit.gif[/img]

Next, they'll be pretending that inertia is something other than
an engineer's phantom....

Best fluid for curing a hangover is water. If you get up in the night to piss, neck a pint of water, and do the same in the morning. Hangover gone.
