Party Time

It's time to celebrate. Celebrate what, you ask? Who Cares, lets celebrate anyway! And off you and your friends go to "celebrate" into the night. Luckily for you, you came prepared. You ate a decent meal hours earlier, and drank plenty of water to hydrate your body. You even had a shot of Extra Virgin Olive Oil as a pre-drinking hangover remedy. Let the drinking begin!

You remember all the wise words that were told to you about drinking: "Beer before Wine, and You'll be fine" and "Liquor before Beer and You'll be in the clear." You and your friends wind up at a bar where they don't serve wine, so you know you will be fine. And since you start off with shots of Jagermeister before drinking beer, you know you will be in the clear. But alas, in the end, it does not matter, as you and your friends wind up doing "JagerBombs," with Guinness Beer. JagerBombs consist of dropping a shot of Jagermeister into a Beer or RedBull, and then downing the drink.

Hair of the Dog

Well something like this happened to me on a Bounty Hunting trip to San Luis Potosi, Mexico. I will owe you the Bounty Hunting story, but you can read past re-posts of prior hunts here:
Story 1 and Story 2(and I will write Bounty Hunt stories when I finish this Project)

While in Mexico, a lawyer friend of ours was helping us locate a fugitive that had fled to San Luis Potosi, Mexico. During one evening, he invited us to meet his family and for dinner. We had a great home cooked Mexican meal, and met his family and extended family. The whole family was quite interested in some of the stories and adventures we had to tell. This was accompanied with some Tequila shots followed by some Modelo Especial Beers, and as the saying goes, "When in Rome do as the Romans." And boy we did we ever.

I have always been able to "hold my liquor," as the saying goes. More so when I was younger, and less so as I have gotten older. I am not really a drinker, but I can keep up when the situation arises. It is the aftermath of the next day that is something I have not been able to figure out, no matter what Pre-Drinking remedy or Drinking strategy I try. Of course not drinking or drinking very little helps in not getting a "hangover" the next day. In this case you did the opposite and you drank the night away, and now awake with a "drum pounding inside your head" and your stomach "spinning in a vortex" giving you the Mother of All Hangovers.

Hair of the Dog is an old saying or name for a remedy that supposedly helps cure hangovers. Hundreds of years ago, it was believed that if one was bit by a rabid dog, then placing that dog's hairs on the wound would cure the infection. Today, the belief is that drinking more alcohol will "cure" or soothe the effects of the hangover, thus the name or saying "Hair of the Dog." I have tried this and it generally works in making you feel better after a night of heavy drinking. There is even some scientific explanations as to why this treatment works, even if temporarily.

The Cure (and no not the Rock Band)

So it is now noon and I am feeling horrible in our hotel room. We are supposed to be locating a fugitive from U.S. Justice but at the moment, I had terrible nausea and a horrible headache. I had tried drinking several beers to attempt to cure this terrible "hangover" to no avail. I would throw up the beer, which is the idea behind "hair of the dog," but it only seemed to make things worse. My partner said that my feet would curl so bad that they looked like "eagle talons curling" when I would vomit. I felt like I was dying.

Luckily for me, my partner has family in San Luis Postosi, and one of them had the Hangover Remedy to Cure them All! She instructed my partner to go to a nearby by bar and to order a shot of "La Piedra." He brought this to the room and told me that his cousin recommended this. I was repelled by the smell of alcohol of course, but in my condition, I was willing to try anything. So I stripped down and jumped into the shower with this drink. I downed it and immediately felt it when it hit the bottom of my stomach. I had to take a knee since I felt the retching about to ensue. And ensue it did. This violent upheaval shook my body, and out was exorcised a yellow foul smelling liquid from the bottom of my insides. I WAS CURED!! This was a miracle. I felt so much better I could not believe it. I personally went down to the bar for 2 things:

1. One to thank and tip this waiter for this amazing Cure and
2. for the Recipe of Course.
   I now always have these items in stock at home. Although there is no True HangOver Remedy, I have never had anything that worked so good like this when sick from drinking Alcohol. I hope you never need this recipe, but if you ever have a hang over that you just can't fix or is so horrible that you are willing to take anything, then this is the time to consider "La Piedra," which translates to "The Rock."
   
   La Piedra
   
   1 1/2 oz Anissette
   1 1/2 oz White or Blanco Tequila
   2 dashes of Angostura Bitters
   Served in a short tumbler or rocks glass, with or without ice to preference. This is not medical advice, and when drinking, drink responsibly.
