VINDICATED!

Vegetarians of the world: you may now gnash your teeth and weep tears of purest rage. For lo -- Science has at last discovered the Cure for the Hangover, and IT IS BACON!



Yes. That's right. Greasy, fat dead piggy. Grilled, fried, whatever. And... look, you Jewish folk, I'm terribly sorry, but this is Science, and it brooks no argument. God has, I'm afraid, played a cruel and unpleasant joke upon you. At least those of the Islamic faith are forbidden to do what it takes to get a hangover in the first place, so they're not behind the eight-ball on this one.

As for the rest of us -- well, I don't know what everybody else has got planned, but I'm about to crack a bottle of brandy, and set sail for a big, big bacony breakfast on the morrow. Hooray!

    Well, there's ANOTHER reason to get shit faced.

    Surely Macca's coke's gotta be part of the deal?.

    The Grates were right - Science is golden.

    Though I'm less convinced that NineMSN is targeting a highly intellectual reading audience. Under Latest News: "How to wear coats"

    Dr Yobbo -- I'm sure I'll find that article very helpful the next time I get my head caught in the pocket of my coat.

    Bippity-Boppity Bacon! All hail the salty hoof! I saw this product a few months ago and wondered if those who are banished from the swine could still use it?

    Bacon flavoured Bacon Hangover cure. Ain't Science grand?

    Heidi, I'd end up eating the lip balm.

    Interesting that this should come out today, just as I've had my own run in with a walking big breakfast...

    Gosh I'm glad I bought six rashers at the deli this afternoon.

    And you could eat bacon with a good German Rauchbier, which tastes like you're drinking smoked bacon.

    Personally, I think the Jewish restriction to bacon has to do with the fact that pigs had worms. Science has since just about eradicated trichinosis worms from pigs. At least in civilized countries. You can now, according to Alton Brown, eat medium rare porkchops. And if Alton says it, then IT'S SCIENCE!

    Bacon is good for what ails you, and not just hangovers either.

    The pig is the species that has done the most in terms of hitching its fortunes to ours. So long as humans prosper, so goes the pig. Hail to the pig.
