There are a lot of things I'm tired of witnessing this holiday season.

The sales and their pathetic pitches are high on the list, but have been supplanted at the top.

Each year, after the eggnog and mistletoe have reached obsolescence, something else comes at us with a vengeance.

Public service announcements from all quarters encouraging us to "drink responsibly" and preaching to the choir with gratuitous cautions about drinking about driving.

And oy ... the Internet. It was filled with enough remedies - most of which fall under the heading of urban myths in waiting - are getting over hangovers.

Hey, people, here's a more direct - and novel - approach: Just don't drink, period.

No fatal accidents, no DUI arrests, no hangovers.

Duh?
