There has been a disturbing trend in the UK for young women to get drunk and the result is that it is not uncommon to see a bunch of screaming harpies rolling around both inside and outside our major cities public houses during the evenings. Thankfully, the current economic crisis has largely banished this scenario to weekends.
The line from women who would drink responsibly i.e. maybe one drink in an evening, and never beer, to the present situation can be traced directly to the feminists, both men and women, of the late sixties who told women that there is no basic difference between female/male behaviour. This has been a boon for the media who have heartily encouraged what they call "ladettes" to copy the behaviour of men, thus providing plenty of copy for their female readers. The net result is that Accident and Emergency wards of hospitals are dealing with an increasing number of drunken youths and girls, and the numbers of young people with serious alchoholism have risen dramatically according to the Briitish Medical Association.
Now it would be hypocritical of me to say that people shouldn't drink ( If I hadn't been a drinker, I would have been a great deal richer than I am now) but, apart from a couple of times in my youth, I have never been drunk although I freely admit that I drink more than I should. Therefore, in answer to the question about dealing with hangovers, I would suggest that women should go back to having a some self-respect and men should drink to their limit only.
