I have a headache. I don't have any aspirin but I do have a bottle of Nyquil. can I take a shot of Nyquil or should I drag myself over to the store and get some aspirin? I really don't want to drag myself over to the store.

before you take anything, why don't you drink a couple big glasses of water and lay down for an hour. 9 times out of 10 this works for me.

Actually, this is good advice. It takes care of at least two things that could cause a headache: dehydration and tense muscles.

Even better is to drink that magic water from the spray bottles the medics use in soccer matches. That water seems to be able to cure anything.
 
Watch out for dark purple splotches on your skin. If you see those, you'll be dead in four hours.
