Plenty of literary greats, Faulkner and Hemingway among them, knew their way around a hangover. So did Anthony Burgess, the author of A Clockwork Orange, who avoided them with this concoction: "Into a pint glass, doubles of the following are poured: gin, whisky, rum, port and brandy. A small bottle of stout is added and the whole topped up with Champagne ? It tastes very smooth, induces a somewhat metaphysical elation, and rarely leaves a hangover." [The Atlantic]
