In this article we regress from our hunt for the best hangover cure and instead pay homage to the drinks that made us the people we are today.  Think back to your first sip of alcohol.  High school drinking was a delicate balance between “wanting to rage” and “projectile vomiting.”  This interesting intersection allowed for some creative and simply nostalgic alcoholic beverages to surface.  From the respectable 40oz of Old E to the mysterious allure of Jungle Juice, we revisit our founding fathers and pay our respects.

15. Zima – 7-up meets alcohol.  This short-lived intoxicator was only on the scene for a few years.  It’s tasty clear fluid (that’s what she said) was a favorite for girls, but just a little too gay for boys.

14. Pucker – Nobody knows whether Pucker is supposed to be a mixer or what, but it’s almost always drunk straight from the bottle.  It’s strong sugary flavors make it tasty (“omg! It like doesn’t taste like ah-ka-hawl!”) but will ultimately end you up with a restless sleep and brain splitting hangover.

13. Southern Comfort aka SoCo – Orange flavored whiskey.  Fits nicely in your pocket, making for easy access into school dances, detention, and sober grad night.  My first blackout was from SoCo. Go me.

The fellows over at THC contacted Caveday to do a review of their product.  Who were we to say no?  As we continue the hunt for the best hangover cure, we agreed to review THC, really pushing the boundaries of the product and our livers.  Alcohol was consumed in mass quantities.  Dancefloors were wrecked.  Friendships were made and shattered in the blink of an eye.  The night was epic and The Hangover Cure was put to a test that most gods would fear.

Amongst many circles, the Vietnamese noodle soup Phở (pronounced Fuh), is heralded as the best hangover cure known to mankind.  What do we say here at Caveday?  Phở shizzle.

Phở is a magical soup made of beef, broth and rice noodles.  Seriously, its magic.  I’ll explain later.  It is served in a bowl with thin cuts of well done or rare steak.  For the more adventurous sort, tripe (stomach), tendons, liver, chicken hearts, or other risky business can be added.  The broth is made from a simmered concoction of which only a level 50 Vietnamese wizard may be privy to the secret.

In search of the best hangover cure and the answer to all our prayers, Caveday has stumbled open some weird hangover cures along the way.  From herbal remedies to black magic, we’ve seen it all.  And frankly, we’re desperate enough to try them.

From the country that created tentacle cartoon porn and vending machines that sell panties, leave it to the Japanese to come up with a strange hangover cure.  Meet the umeboshi picked plum.  Hungover Japanese people will suck on these sour plums until they dissolve.  The idea is that the acid in the umeboshi will break down the alcohol faster.  Considering that most Japanese business negotiations happen over sake and whiskey, and Japanese are strong in business, this probably works.  I’m going to try it out.  Tomorrow morning.

Round 3.  The war against bogus hangover cures concludes in this final battle.  Caveday.com takes on greasy food, exercise, throwing up, and staying positive.

The Hangover Burger

Greasy food

In every culture across the globe, greasy and fattening food have been a go-to hangover cure for thousands of years.  This method for hangover liberation is popular because your appetite is so bass ackwards, that you’ll only let the most delicious food possible enter your mouth.  Namely, crap.  Hit up your local burger shop, Mexican hole in the wall, diner, or pizza parlor and go nuts.  Some of the top picked hangover helpers include breakfast burritos, cheeseburgers, and anything from Denny’s.
