A Word Of Advice | Harry Merry

Hello, dear SUBBACULTCHA! readers,

After a weekend of heavy partying, it’s time to go to sleep in order to rest and recover from all the excesses. After such a sleep we usually get a hangover. This is naturally caused by having consumed an inadvisable amount of alcohol and drugs the night before. I have been asked what I recommend as the perfect remedy against this.

In my experience, the best remedy is a can of Campbell’s Meatballs drenched in gravy. You can buy it in any newsagent’s or grocery store. There’s no need to heat it up: you just open it with a can opener and get stuck in ‒ the colder the better.

Other good remedies include a raw egg in a glass or raw herring with raw onions. But the best one is still Campbell’s Meatballs in my book. Of course, I’ve also heard that brandy and gin are the best remedies but that turned out to be just a malicious rumour…

To prevent a hangover is better than to cure one. Therefore I enjoy, but in moderation. Otherwise I continue to look as messy as I do in the documentary, and we don’t want that.

Take good care of yourselves… and each other.
