I was just taking the proverbial wee wee.

Where would one buy such a thing as a rehydration drink?


Can you put vodka in them?

I have tried the re-hydration solution we were shown as kids as an emergency treatment in case we were stranded somewhere and were struck down with diarrhea or food poisoning. (Why they taught us this stuff I have no idea) It is a spoonful of salt and a spoonful of sugar in a pint of water.


Anyway the old hungover brain has in the past gone through the thought process of. ?I?m horribly dehydrated, let me try that magic solution they showed us at school.?


Problem is it tastes foul and makes me want to vomit which kinda defeats the object.

All my grandparents lived well into their 90?s and my dad is currently pushing 80 with absolutely no sign of slowing down so I think the benchmark should be at least 4 score and ten.

I will therefore refrain from thinking of myself as middle aged until I am at least 45 and/or I have children who are old enough to be embarrassed of me.

I get the blackcurrant one. It's not nice by any stretch, but you casn keep it down.


Once or twice I have done a pre-emptive strike and taken one before bed, and woken up feeling right as rain, but usually I don't have the wits about me for all that, and just pass out.

When I lived in NZ a McD's cheeseburger and banana milkshake on the walk home used to sort me out. And then McD's for breakfast - "hot cakes and syrup"... a delicacy I don't think they offer in the UK, followed by a hash brown & hot chocolate. I was a really healthy specimen back then!

It really works though, its magic stuff!


I was dubious when my friend told me of its powers - she had been given it by an airport pharmacist and claimed she was right as rain in an hour. We were both suffering on the day I tried the remedy (to the point we had to send a cab to the airport to collect another friend since there was no way either of us could contemplate driving!) We had to share a sachet as that was all that was left and we were in Sweden at the time where it is not available to buy. Half a sachet and Pirates of the Carribean was all it took for a full recovery!


I always keep a box in the house now :-) DOnt think Resolve works the same way as Resolve Extra though!

Hope it works Anna.


I have purchased me some of the aforementioned Resolve Extra and the aforementioned rehydration salts. All ready for the weekend. I?m never normally this prepared for anything in my life. :-S


And now it looks like Saturday may be cancelled anyway.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
