Anyone over the age of 21 has almost surely been there: too many drinks, a splitting headache, and the dire urge to remain horizontal for most of the day. When it comes to nursing a particularly nasty hangover, there's not much to be done. Sure, you can try to get something in your upset stomach and pound water like you're an Olympic athlete, but chances are you're looking for something to distract you from your current state.
