As a student I carved myself a pipe out of a Ganoderma spp bracket - the
effect (whether fuelled by tobacco or not) gave very similar symptoms to
those David describes.  Does this help your research -the pipe burnt to an
ash when left unattended and nearly destroyed mine!  

Happy Christmas, Dermot

Have you considered the commercial potential, then, of Brussell Sprouts as
a
homeopathic hangover cure?

Research, published today, into the toxicology of Brussels Sprouts
(Brassica oleracea) has established they commonly cause the following
adverse reactions in hapless members of the public who are foolhardy
enough
to consume them.  Irritable bowel syndrome, migraines, headaches,
lethargy,
eczema, flatulence, nausea, torpor, gastric dysfunction, wind, halitosis,
vegephobia, mange, distemper, selective delignification, Tourette's
syndrome, and eventual insanity.  OK, so maybe I made up the last five.
The most frequent combination of symptoms endured by the host are very
similar to those experienced when hungover - the classic 'it must have
been
something I ate' defence.  Although such reactions are common to nearly
20%
of the population, it is thought that the other 80% must be lying, revel
in
the aforementioned disorders, or be so afflicted that their judgement is
subsequently impaired.  Beelzebub's Brassica is undoubtedly an evil
vegetable, as is evident by the fact that they smell and taste as though
they've already been previously digested.  You have been warned.

Cheers
