026: Ha'penny Horrid Minisode: Hints for the Man-About-Town — How to act like a fashionably heavy drinker without becoming one: Part 2 of 3
PART 2 OF 3 PARTS ... IN WHICH we continue to explore a fascinating little guidebook for all aspiring Swell Coves, from 1840. It’s titled “Hints to Men-About-Town,” and was written by an anonymous knight of the lancet and bleeding-cup who identifies himself only as “The Old Medical Student.”
Not all of this is good medical advice, I'm sorry to say. There have been a few updates to the basic book of physic in the 185 years since this little guidebook was written.
IN THIS EPISODE we'll learn some late-Regency Best Practices on keeping up the appearance of being a fashionably heavy drinker without ending up with a horrible hangover, or with crude pictures of male body parts drawn on one's face with a Sharpie. (Was that a thing in 1840? Maybe not.)
NEXT TUESDAY, Part 3 is crammed with 185-year-old tips on how to prevent the many social, emotional, and especially medical issues that can challenge a fast young rake due to — hmm, how do I put this delicately? —excessive enjoyment of the company of friendly ladies.
