I used to smoke, with the doctor, in the nurses station at the hospital I worked at. Different times.

Going scuba diving on Bonaire we would go out to dinners with some doctors who would light up cigars and overindulge in booze. Do as we say not as we do. But hey, doctors need to decompress, too. Pro tip: diving on scuba to about 60 feet is a good cure for a hangover.

ha, for me, that would end up being a permanent cure.

Not while drunk, but later when hung over. Around 60+ feet when you breathe from your tank you are taking in three atmospheres of air to expand you lungs to the same volume compared to one atmosphere at the surface, so you are breathing in and addition 2 times more oxygen than on the surface. So that helps clear your hangover. Better for you than taking handfuls of ibuprofen.

next step, combining O2 with IBU!!!! hmmm, IBU2.

I have never been able to scuba dive (or really go more than 12 15 feet below, because I have a tickle in my throat. At the weirdest times, I start coughing uncontrollably. Big air sucking coughs. When it happens and I was neck deep I almost got in trouble.

Maybe a full face mask, but the little mouthpiece would just get me killed.
