Paul, I never thought I'd hear you say "of course you can have too much cider". I must quote you out of context next time you and the gang are in.

I've heard that that might have had something to do with the failrly salty taste of old-fashioned mild. It replaced the salt they were sweating out in the foundry.

Was just browsing and saw this question.

Hopefully you'll allow me to post this. If not apologies and I won't post it again.

There speaks a man with the sense not to drink John Smiths. Like a number of other factory produced items it leaves a strange taste in the mouth and a sensation of a six inch nail through your skull the following day.

Fortunately I'm blessed in not having even one outlet within anything approaching easy travel. Sadly Tetley outlets are more common.

So that's why I can drink 5 pints of Hopback GFB on a weekday evening and bounce out of bed refreshed the next morning!? After one Southampton Beer Festival, we had the wash-up in the Waterloo Arms (Southampton's Hop Back pub).... fourteen pints (I think?!) over the course of the afternoon / evening and I felt fine the next day.

I'll drink to that! ;-)

Make sure that you're well hydrated *before* you start drinking... I always (for some *unknown* reason) get a hangover when I go out drinking feeling thirsty! ;-)

I can echo that...

...multiple pints of supermarket "speciality" ciders (single varieties, even Dry was a tad sweet to my taste, fizzy) equalled copious amounts of cider vom and splitting 24hr headache >:-((

...multiple pints of "real" ciders and perries (Gwatkins and Broome Farm, flat, mildly acetic) equalled a nice night's kip, and a wonderful glow to the world the next morning ;-))))

You've just reminded me of the quotes from some drinks mats that I bought the other day. Frank Sinatra came up with the following classic:

"I feel sorry for people who don't drink; when they wake up in the morning that's as good as they are going to feel all day".

A hefty dose of grappa in a strong espresso coffee.

A can of Barr's Irn-Bru first thing the morning after is an ancient Glaswegian hangover cure.

You may have to have been born in the West of Scotland for it to work, but it does it for me.

It may not be easily available in Berlin, though!
