That's an excellent pick from the Long Goodbye. Oddly enough,
I was just re-reading that this morning, knowing that there
had to be some tips/tricks on hangovers. A few graphs later,
Marlowe describes his hangover routine:
"I decided to kill the hangover. Ordinarly I was not a
morning drinker. The Southern California climate is too soft
for it. You don't metabolize fast enough. But I mixed a tall
cold one this time and sat in an easy chair with my shirt
open and pecked at a magazine… I was handling the drink
carefull, a sip at a time, watching myself."
Another case, as Victor mention, of "the hair of the
dog."
I'm sure there's some drinking/hangover tips for the holidays
in Latimer's Bill Crane novels....
Best,
Duane Swierczynski
