Lush Life: The George Clooney Method

I remember a Sunday brunch a while back (I want to say it was at Fada, only because most of my Sunday brunches are) where the entire conversation revolved around why I wasn't nearly as hungover as my friends, even though I had downed just as many drinks as they had the night before. "It's The George Clooney Method," I said. The trick? Stick to vodka. I've read more than one celebrity profile wherein Clooney explains that he's sworn off all brown liquors and sweet or fruity mixers: he drinks vodka, either straight up or mixed with soda because, as he says, "It's a much cleaner hangover." I don't *always* follow the George Clooney method – obviously most decent dinners are accompanied not by straight vodka but by at least one variety of wine, and I do really enjoy a good scotch – but when I do play the Clooney way, it tends to work pretty well. Now, of course, George Clooney is no medical doctor, and anyway, neither he nor I are claiming that vodka sodas are in any way good for you in the long run. But if you're worried about your morning headache the next time you're out drinking, you might want to give The Clooney a try. Of course, if you're *that* worried about it, you might just want to leave the heavy drinking to the actors and the bloggers.
