Hung-Dog Millionaire

Written by Ashley

March 18th has been the worst day of my life, since the year that I started indulging in the fine Irish delicacy of alcohol. In the great words of one of my besties, on March 18th 2009….” Ash…I’m Hung-Dog Millionaire over here”.

I couldn’t have agreed more. Since I’m one of those Irish people who starts drinking and doesn’t stop until I’m spooning on my friend’s bedroom floor, covered in shamrocks, wondering what my name is, and where my dignity & left shoe could have gone.  I always have a hangover.  Partly cause after college I have become a lightweight. Mostly cause I drink as though I’m still in college.

And my b-day was no exception. My life was on the verge of serious, no-going-back end on March 18th, after spending the previous day…St. Patty’s Day… celebrating my 100% Leprechaun Irish-ness..AND my b-day.  My parents were conspiring for my March 18th’s to never be functional, ever …until this year. I came to the office and was presented with the best present EVER!

But, let’s start at the beginning. I’ve tried all of the hangover methods invented:

Me!  Just Kidding

Me! Just Kidding

The “eat a greasy breakfast at the diner” method. This makes you feel fat and hungover.

The “sleep all day” method: This worked for me in college.  All of my friends will attest to this. But now… this makes you get fired from your job, which makes you drink all day, which makes you always hungover, which makes you sleep all day, every day, which makes you never ever get a job, which makes you broke, which makes you not able to afford alcohol. So I guess that kind of works?

The “drink a beer the next morning” method: makes me naus, which makes me narf ( my word for ‘puke’  ’cause I don’t like that word), which isn’t really fun.

There are more, but I will spare you the gritty details.

I’m just sayin… I had a couple of sips of this miracle drink, one thing led to another, and my life and death thoughts were no more revolved around Jameson than usual!

Code Blue was my life-saver.  It is recommended that CodeBlue is consumed before, during and after your wild night out.  I’m sure I would have felt better if I had followed the rules… but I didn’t really have time to consume anything non-alcoholic, on my road to blackout-ville. CodeBlue essentially replaces all of the electrolytes in the body, that are lost due to dehydration while drinking the alcohols.

Code Blue Ready-to-Drink $3.49

The founders of this miracle bev are all from alcoholic backgrounds.  Not like AA alcoholics, they worked for such companies as Grey Goose, Bacardi, and Skyy, and are now redeeming themselves, in my eyes, just kidding, by helping me recover from my hangovers, with prickly-pear juice, agave nectar, vitamin and mineral infused Code Blue.  All of these ingredients help to remove harmful toxins, and replace vital nutrients that make us be able to focus on work, school, and the other random insignificant non-alcoholic pass-times that come along with life.

And if you’re not sold yet…let me give you the lowdown on this drinky-drink:Only 60 calories, recyclable bottle, no caffeine, low in sugar & carbs, and it’s only $3.49 with a citrus taste..  I can’t guarantee that the taste won’t gross you out, cause, well, you’ll be hungover.
