Yes, but it needs help from the Magic 8-Ball.

C2H5OH should do the trick. It is widely avaliable as well.

But why does that remedy also leave hammered heads after a timely delay?

It has nothing to do with the alcohol. Poor little ethanol can't be blamed for the nasty things your liver does to it, now can it?

I guess because it just sounds good.

If a women is said to have reached "menopause" when her hormones begin shutting down in middle age, how come men experiencing the same thing with their hormones isn't called reaching "womenopause" ?

I believe it was tried, then abruptly discontinued,due to numerous lawsuits by cat owners and blind women. Yet another cool idea, made impossible by a litation-happy hoi polloi.

Since it most certainly doesn't mean 42, it probably has nothing at all to do with life, the universe and everything so I think you can safely ignore it.

But on a tangent note to life, why does gengineers always begin their papers with the letters AUG?

Any male giraffe appreciates a neck with a female giraffe, even while playing polo.

Why is water polo completely wasted on giraffes?

"Neck it, darling!", grandma used to say to grandpa (about a pigeon late in the coop), "and I'll pot-roast it with onions, mushrooms and red wine."
