    Just for fun

    How does it sound in English? I think it must be a very long sentence

    Послали сходить купить опохмелиться

    and

    Пора встать пойти купить опохмелиться

    How about --> It's time to get up and go buy some hair of the dog that bit me.
    the hair of the dog (that bit you) an alcoholic drink taken as a supposed cure for a hangover (informal)
    Encarta(R) World English Dictionary [North American Edition] (2007) http://encarta.msn.com/dictionary_/hair.html
    On top of that, she had a splitting headache from the scotch-high of the evening before, and was waiting patiently for the flight attendant to reach her with the cart so that she could buy some “hair of the dog”.

    What about that "hair of the dog that bit you?" It's a renowned hangover remedy: a small morning-after drink to bring your blood-alcohol level back up.
