Subject: The BEST damn hangover cure.....period!!!!!

I know that there are lots of so-called "cures" that everyone may have heard 
or had reccomended to them, but nothing as good as this.  
You can trust me on this because I bartend in a land where nobody works, 
everyone has a shitload of money, and drinking & partying are the closest 
thing to a full time career that they'll ever see. (yes, it's LA).
I'ts an aperitif and digestif all in one called Fernet Branca.  It's an 
Itallian bitters that's been around since 1845 and up until 1927 was only 
available in drug stores.  (Up until 1927 opium was an active ingredient)
It consists of 40 herbs (such as saffron, st. john's wart,and echinacia to 
name a few) and 5 different mushrooms, and it's still 80 proof just like vodka 
or whisky.  It takes care of headaches, stomachaches, hangovers and PMS like 
nobody's business.
Usually only found in Itallian restaurants and high end bars and liqour 
stores, it runs you about $35.00 a bottle...but WELL worth it!

DIRECTIONS:

1. -get hangover (i'm sure we all have that down)

2. -take two 1 oz. shots and wait about 20 min.

WARNING:  I do have to say that it tastes like shit (so I guess it has 
potential) so you're going to need an IMMEDIATE chaser.  I have found that 
grapefruit juice or ginger ale gets the taste off you palate the fastest.

After your first couple of Fernet shots you'll begin to notice that you're 
feeling more "high" than drunk.  That's where the mushrooms and herbs come in. 
 It also counteracts the effects of the alcohol so you don't get too wasted.  
Prety cool huh?  If after trying this and you enjoy the buzz (in addition to 
hangover cures), I reccomend trying it as a cocktail but use Branca Menta 
instead, which is the same thing but infused with mint to make it a little 
more appealing.  Mix with soda and you have the best alcohol buzz you've ever 
had with absolutely ZERO hangover the next day.  (Tried it, took down an 
entire 750ml bottle throughout the course of the evening).

If you want some more info check out www.brancaproducts.com, they have a few 
other cool products as well.

Now go out and drink like there is no tommorrow, with this cure there sure 
will be.
