Orange, apple and tomato juices are all great choices. If you drink tomato juice, jazz it up with as much hot sauce as you can handle. The capsaicin found in hot peppers is a renowned painkiller and hot peppers are also full of vitamin C.

Fructose isn't just found in fruit juice, however. Ginseng root is about 50 percent fructose, and honey is over 40 percent fructose. Brew some hot tea and add a few spoonfuls of honey or a bit of ginseng to reap the benefits of fructose. Dates are also high in fructose and can sometimes be more palatable...

feels like honey
Have some tablespoons of plain honey, or add some honey to your water or cup of tea. It'll help soothe the dryness in your throat.

Bananas - Sugar in the form of fructose, and potassium, which is one of the things you lose lots of when you drink. Bananas are also a natural antacid to help with the nausea, and are high in magnesium which can help relax those pounding blood vessels causing that hangover headache.

Here it is: the fruit of all our painstaking research, The Almighty Hangover Emergency Cure.

A recent internal poll of the students at Guitar-X, the guitar students at London's prestigious 'Tech Music Schools', has resulted in the following list outlining, in order of popularity, the top 25 guitar riffs of all time to coincide with their 25th anniversary celebrations.

The list also showed one very interesting thing - that London was, officially, the most rocking town in the UK and the second most rocking town in the entire world! 6 of the riffs in the list were crafted by residents of Los Angeles, but 4 were by Londoners such as The Who's Pete Townshend and "Fast"...
