Holidays equals holiday parties equals open bars equals getting fucked up equals being fucking hung over as fuck — which kinda kills all that joy and fucking merriment that started things off. Except maybe not this year, thanks to our new friends who make a magical concoction called Drinkin’ Mate. Basically it’s a hangover cure, except unlike chugging jugs of water and taking Tylenol — or eating pickles and canned tuna, taking a cold shower while sipping hot coffee or whatever other worthless folk remedy your grandpa told you — Drinkin’ Mate actually works.

How do I know? Because (full disclosure) they sent me a free sample, I went out and got totally shit faced, took the sample and then I woke up the next morning feeling pretty fucking OK. It wasn’t a miracle cure of all hangover pain and suffering, but it certainly avoided feeling like a laser-guided atomic bomb infiltrated my skull.
