Strange Hangover Cures That Actually Work
Nobody likes a hangover. Problem is, there isn't much in the form of aid or advice for cleansing this deteriorating phenomena. We all like to drink (hopefully not too much), and more often than not, hangovers are the result of far too much drinking when a person either hasn't eaten, hydrated enough, or simply lacks responsibility in knowing when to stop. For these reasons, hangovers ensue with the wrath of God behind them. Fortunately, there are a host of ways to remedy your pain, just not all of them are for everyone.

When Did Coffee Become Wine?
Coffee is so last year... The Baby Boomers were coffee drinkers. Let's meet for a cup of coffee. Want to meet for a cup of coffee? Would you like a cup of coffee? There were advertisements about coffee. There were commercials about coffee. General Foods International Coffee ads put the concept of Coffee as a drink on the map. It was now a destination, a feeling. We could sit and stare for hours with a cup of coffee in hand. We could escape in a bathtub as long as we had a cup of coffee with us. The Tasters Choice coffee commercials had us on the edge of our seat wondering if the couple in neighboring apartments was finally going to get together for a cup of coffee and maybe more. The Folger's commercials had us in tears as we watched the military son, as he returns from war, prepare coffee waiting for the aroma to wake his mother. Oh, the drama a cup of coffee created. A generation subsisted on coffee and created a phenomenon called Starbucks, or an upscale coffee shop. Although baby boomers don't like spending 4 bucks on a coffee.
