I wonder how different that list would be if all the drugs were illegal or all the drugs were legal.  I think when alcohol was illegal it was killing more than anything else.  In fact, right now, it's still killing more than anything else due to drunk driving.  And I think cigarettes are 2nd.  If we had legal clean drugs, I wonder how much this list would shuffle around.

Isn't methadone actually more addictive than heroin, and have a more painful withdrawal?  They sure fucked that one up.

The best way to actually completely avoid a hang over is this. Have two plans A and B. A is where you don't drink much at all, in B you drink so much that you wake up piss drunk. If that happens, just grab a big bottle of water, because as soon as you sober up the hangover will hit you unless you have been keeping yourself hydrated.

I see all the little kids just had their D.A.R.E. rallies this past week in the auditoriums after lunch and recess.

OT: You say you don't want to see alcohol ever again right now but that's what everyone says their first few times of getting absolutely shitfaced. You will get over it. Water is always good. Some aspirin also. But if you have more alcohol readily available, start it over again.

Have sex.

Go to a convenience store and pick up some vitamin water and/or gatorade.

Friday night I drank a bit much, ended up with a hangover all of yesterday. I was being too lazy to go buy anything, so I just drank water. That night I ended up going to a party and drinking a bit much again, fell asleep on the couch for a few hours before I had to get up and bring my friend home. I had a POUNDING headache as I left. So I stopped at the convenience store and bought a vitamin water and a gatorade. I drank the vitamin water on my way home and in the half hour it took to get home I felt all better again. These drinks are designed to rehydrate you fast, which is what you want when you have a nasty hangover.
