Thirsty Thursdays: A Future Without Hangovers

Filed under: Thirsty Thursday — Tags: , , , , , , — ex-boyfriend @ 6:41 pm

Remember my Drinkwel discovery? The founder of Drinkwel sent me a product sample. And my friends, it worked!!! This past weekend I drank 5 pints of Resurrection Ale in a row. I followed the handy instructions that came with my Drinkwel sample and, viola, no hangover the next day! It’s a miracle!!!

I am going to put Drinkwel to the test with wine and liquor. Just to confirm its awesomeness. But I want you to share in the fun, which is why I asked the nice Drinkwel guy to please send me 2 samples. One for me and one for an Ex-Boyfriend fan. If you’d like to get your mitts on some Drinkwel, enter the giveaway below:

Thirsty Thursday: Boozy Smorgasboard!

Filed under: Thirsty Thursday — Tags: , , , , , , , — ex-boyfriend @ 5:56 pm

Lots of great booze news today!

First off, apparently Science got the memo AND the apology: they’ve stepped up and grown liver cells out of skin cells. This is a small but important stepping stone in the pursuit of consequence-free binge drinking. Thanks, Science!

Secondly, as I mentioned the other day, the good folks at Drinkwel have offered to pony up some free samples of their little miracle drug. To that end, I think it would be beneficial (strictly for the purposes of scientific research) to approach this whole thing like an experiment. So based on the number of pills they send, I’ll be dividing up my drinking into three phases comprised of an equal number of days. Phase I will focus on Drinkwel’s efficacy on beer, Phase II on wine, and Phase III on mixed drinks. I briefly contemplated a Phase IV involving all three, but I don’t hate my liver that much.

Here’s where I need your help: to keep the variables to a minimum, I’ll need to select one beer for Phase I; I can’t hop from Miller Light to Blue Moon to Resurrection Ale. I need a constant alcohol by volume percentage. What shall I drink? Same for mixed drinks; I’m leaning toward mojitos or dark & stormy’s, but am always open to suggestions (that don’t involve whiskey, bourbon or scotch—this is supposed to be fun, remember?) Leave your recommendations in the comments!
