Vodka doesn’t hurt either.

Those were great. Basically Alka-Seltzer + lemon + caffine. I've found, however, that you can achieve the same results by disolving a standard A-S in Mnt. Dew. (Just make sure that there aren't any glow sticks included, else your stoumach will need to be pumped!)</p> I miss Alka-Seltzer’s “so you had too much to drink last night, did you?” line.

For an added treat dissolve it in a "fancy" glass.</p> I would recommend the Alka-Seltzer Plus Ready Relief Orange Zest. http://www.alka-seltzer.com/home/default.htm The best cold medication I have used so far - and they have the not quite yummy just slightly medicine-y orange zest flavor.

But on the other hand, I got this spiffy jacket!
