My Head

We sat on the couches and watched comedy clips and American political speeches on youtube, and then went out for a couple of pints when we ran out of beer.

My head is really pounding.  The brain is 70% water, so when you are dehydrated it shrinks, and gives you a headache.  

My body is shaking.  Alcohol relaxes the arteries, lowering your blood pressure, and giving you the shakes.  

Alcohol also has a neurological affect, which leads to potentially strong feelings of paranoia while hung over.

Or you could just drink some water to expand your brain, avoid the shaking, and remain paranoia-free.

I ordered 200 pieces of non-alcoholic chocolate today. I'll send you some...

Unfortunately water does not always hydrate you, depending on the functioning of your kidneys, etc...

Dioralyte seems to offer some improvement.

I am perturbed by both the ordering and the non-alcoholic parts.

What's wrong with your kidneys? Or is it your intestines that have been giving you problems?
Awww, has someone been having a tummy ache and doodie-ing a lot lately? 8< lol

Do not be perturbed!!!
I ordered because I wanted them for next Friday in time for the next AI seminar at the department, and need them to be packed in sets of two. The non-alcoholic part, so both Muslims and non-Muslims can eat them. There appears to be a considerable number of Muslims here.
I did try asking for nut-free too, but that narrowed down my options considerably.
