I heard on the radio this morning that at least in Germany hangovers is now a recognized medical condition and eligible for sick leave pay as well as insurance coverage for treatments. Just in time for Oktoberfest!

Ah, but there is something to the placebo effect.

Some people are addicted to nocebos.

+1 for gin.

Just to be clear... I do like whipsy more than Gin.
But Gin is much cheaper and you can brush your teeth with G&T.

Congrats on the great review. My biggest problem with stereomilliondollarphile was always the cost of the best sounding equipment. If it was 40k stereophile loved it.

Yes whipsy.
The most neutral spelling for that liquid we all like so much.
So no war about spelling.
Whipsy sounds nice too.
Here in The Netherlands I call it wipsie but I'm not sure how English speakers would pronounce it.

In Kentucky it's "whipsey"

I was shocked to read this, but my Dad confirmed it. Schwachsinn.

It just proves that every country has it's quirks in medical finger pointing and cures and the influence of the insurance companies.
No news there.
