In Puerto Rico, to stop a hangover before it starts, they rub a slice of lemon or lime into the arm pit of the arm they will use for drinking...
I'm kinda curious...is it the male portion of the population that undergoes this time honored tradition...or it is the women...or could it be both...in some twisted anti-tequila tango to thwart the aftereffects of waking up next to some hideous creature you rode home from the bar last night...I mean there is some valuable information missing here...if it's just the male population that has the foresight to rub a lemon or lime wedge under their Latin America love lapels...then it could be as a distraction...something to make the women at the cabana swim with nausea...however if it is the female gender that is taking the time to pretty themselves with powerful perfume from a lemon or lime then the implications can be far more severe...pay attention fellas...this could be important...perfume on a women can be sensual and erotic...enticing sexual activity...it can also be used as a masking agent to bury other unsavory bodily odors that become present during the course of a woman's existence...especially women of the unshaven Latina variety...they may just as well be using the lemon or lime aroma as an attractant...a lure of sorts...like a bait pile for bugs...something to keep the flies from frolicking beneath the hem of their mini-mini-skirt...NO but seriously...this tidbit proves one thing to me that should be abundantly clear to the rest of you...THIS IS WHY WE HAVEN'T GRANTED YOU IDIOTS STATEHOOD YET..you're too damn dumb to be included in an already depleted genetic stew of stupidity...we have enough of your counterparts in the anti-intelligence community already on board...how can you expect us to take you seriously when this is your answer to a hangover...lemme tell ya somethin'...ya little Spanish speakin' ignorant islanders...if this method actually works to cure a hangover...you are doing something WRONG during the drinking process...or maybe that's it...hell IDK...i ain't gonna do the necessary research but perhaps lemon and lime juice creates a toxic reaction with underarm perspiration which ultimately results in a Tourettes type twitch of the arm one intends to use while drinkin...thus spillin more of said drink than actually imbibing...which still means you're doing it WRONG...ya know what cures a hangover...ABSTINENCE...how hard can that be to figure out...that's an answer that can only be determine on a personal basis...for some the first incident resulting in a hangover is also the last incident involving extreme levels of intoxication...for others the opposite is true...you wouldn't know what to make of it if they showed up sober...seems some among us are slower learners than others...thankfully the majority of them live on some pissed off little pebble in the sea...I'll tell ya...everybody has their own home remedy for curing the unwanted effects of a hangover...some people elect to have another drink to kick off the day...others will take a concoction of pain relievers like Tylenol or Bayer...some will lay in bed until such a time as returning to society becomes necessary...others use a method of praying which I NEVER quite understood...it normally begins before the passing out phase...somewhere around the...'hugging the porcelain podium for dear life' stage of the evening's events...lemon and lime wedges are not part of the praying ritual unless they were previously digested as part of the evenings alcoholic content...in which case they become readily visible during portions of the prayer recital process...and NOT generally from the rancid regions of the underarm odor emitters...they usually come dressed in technicolor...with vibrant displays of yellow, green and red...depending on recent dietary habits...I can't imagine the commercials they hafta come up with to promote this type of nonsense...or if they even do...but I do know this...the small minded constituents of the island of Puerto Rico are in desperate need of an Old Spice commercial...if you are goin' out to the bar...ya need a deodorant that allows you to believe in your SMELF!!!
