Stefan Espinosa music sophomore

Music sophmore offers views on good hangover remedies, cheeseburger science, vomit

WILDCAT: So, I turned 21 last night and I don't feel exactly 100 percent, but we won't get into that. Do you have any good cures for hangovers?

ESPINOSA: Hangovers? I've heard that a big greasy cheeseburger is just what you need, first thing in the morning. The greasier the better.

WILDCAT: Hmm. How does that work?

ESPINOSA: I don't know. Something about the grease coating your stomach or some shit. I don't know it's supposed to work. I usually just throw it up, I think, but I heard it works.

WILDCAT: So what did you do when you turned 21?

ESPINOSA: Well, I'm not.

WILDCAT: Then what will you do?

ESPINOSA: I'm sure I'll drink very heavily.

WILDCAT: So you'll be having a cheeseburger?

ESPINOSA: Yeah. Probably a couple, I'd say. Yeah, a couple. But what works for me actually is Alka-Seltzer morning relief. I got some of that stuff for free once in the mail ÷ it's like caffeine and aspirin. It definitely takes the edge off. Whatever.

WILDCAT: Have you been sick a lot after drinking? Ever thrown up?

ESPINOSA: Couple times. Couple times.

WILDCAT: It gets ugly?

ESPINOSA: It has. Wake up in a pool of your own vomit, sometimes. That's always like a downer.

WILDCAT: How many synonyms can you think of for the work "puke"?

ESPINOSA: "Vomit," "upchuck," "ralph," I don't know. "Toss your cookies," "drive the porcelain bus."

WILDCAT: That's pretty good. So do you hope your parents don't read this column?

ESPINOSA: They know I do. No problems there.
