could be excellent advice, could be just a headache

So, next time you want to negotiate for something (a car, a house, a craigslist item), do yourself a favor and go get a nice hangover--it might just improve your negotiating juju. Here's why:

"The unpleasant physical effects following the heavy use of alcohol actually work to your advantage during a tough negotiation. Seemingly uninterested you will be slouched in your chair, responding slowly and talking softly and looking generally unhappy with whatever the other party proposes." 

Hilarious.

You know, I got a masters in conflict resolution, and I never saw this strategy referenced anywhere. I'll be checking back with lifehack  to see if anyone's had success with this method.
