Famous Writer's Hangover Cures

Writers love to drink. Then again, so does everyone, especially when you are a fan of some of the drinking games Inky Glow currently has on sale. With so many famous authors penning their finest works while intoxicated, you have to wonder how they managed to nurse those painful hangovers in the morning. Ask no more - we have the answers!

William Faulkner, author of some of the best works in the 20th century, actually used his hangover to fuel his work, and used his work to soothe his hangover. We at Inky Glow would like to applaud Faulkner's ability to soothe a hangover with work, and also wonder how that is physically possible.

Author of A Clockwork Orange, Anthony Burgess, was known for choosing a very strong drink to avoid a hangover. This wicked cocktail is called Hangman's Blood, and it apparently never left him a hangover.

• 2 parts gin
• 2 parts whisky
• 2 parts rum
• 2 parts port
• 2 parts brandy
• 1 bottle of stout beer
• A dash of champagne

Just mix it all together in that order, and enjoy.

Hemingway was known to rely on tomato juice and beer as his hangover cure. He also was known for using absinthe as a way of soothing that aching head, too.

When asked for his hangover cure, Dean Martin simply said, "Stay drunk." (Well, that's one way of looking at the issue.)

No matter what your hangover cure is, make sure that you try out one of Inky Glow's drinking games to make the entire experience better. Or, better yet, pick up one of our Walk of Shame packs to help you out the morning after!
