Drink it inbetween whatever else you're drinking; if you're sober you can sit down and work out how much water you want to match the amount of alcohol you're consuming, but I suspect that's not really the object of the exercise. 8) If you're doing that pathetic dribble that americans call beer, I'd guess at perhaps a glass for every 2-3 cans of beer. Drink about half a litre of water before you crash, and then as much as you can comfortably manage when you wake up. Dehydration brought on by alcohol poisoning makes your hangover _much_ worse. Having the extra water around makes the whole alcohol-disposal process work better too. (Side note; it's possible to survive for extended periods on nothing but alcohol and dietary supplements. I haven't seen any good code come out of such a state though, so I advise against it 8) -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@gsoft.com.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control.
