Thanks, I am pretty sure I can claim credit for it (I know a lot of people swear by tomato juice, but it seems like something alkaline rather than acidic is better for a queasy stomach, and milk helps coat the stomach lining much like Pepto does.) Sounds like you did alright though; if you hydrated the night before, woke up, chugged half a gallon of water and then lost consciousness before you had to confront any further ill effects I expect you probably felt OK when you woke up for good. Glad you had fun and are none the worse for wear.
