Holly Golightly didn’t tread softly at all when it came to gulping down the booze.


If you, too, awake on the first day of 2008 with the mean reds, I have a foolproof plan for taming them. First, rent ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ because it’s fun, witty and unbearably easy on


the eyes.


Then, prepare my favorite tipple: a banana milkshake. It’s a proven remedy for the worst Champers O.D. aftermath. The potassium and magnesium in the bananas will restore your depleted levels


and the honey will up your sugar paucity. The milk should soothe the tummy too.


1 pint of cold milk 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream1 banana1 tablespoon of honey


Put all ingredients into a blender, cover your ears, and puree like a banshee.


Serves two. (Or one person who drank enough liquor for two.)
