I gave up alcohol for Lent … hard to believe, I know. It seemed like a great idea until I realized that I would be in Vegas on Easter weekend (for the less religiously inclined of you out there —- Lent ends ON Easter). I forsaw two issues:
1. I couldn’t NOT drink in Vegas so I sadly bent my morals and started a few days early.
2. I didn’t think about how low my tolerance would be after not drinking for so long.
The latter was going to severely hinder my early morning pool lounging … so I thought. When packing, I made sure to lug my samples of Last Round with me. The first night I was schnockered, but somehow managed to down a bottle before fading into sweet passed-out bliss. When I woke on Friday morning, I felt like I’d slept for 12 hours and hadn’t had a drink. What a miracle!
The taste was a little tough to take, especially on an already weak, alcohol-soaked stomach, but I made it through the whole thing in one belt and chased it with water. (Unlike most hangover remedies, you don’t have to drink water after Last Round.) Last Round is even made with mostly recognizable ingredients – see their ingredient information on the left.
A bottle (2.4 oz) goes for about $3 and can be purchased on their website, www.last-round.com. They even sell a “party pack” of 48 bottles. You know what they say … SHARE THE WEALTH!
Their website reads, “Last Round cannot cure bad decisions, questionable hook-ups, senseless ramblings or excessive friend hugging…. However, Last Round will have you feeling so good the next day, it’s like last night never happened.”
All I can says is, “Amen … and thanks!”
waited for my friendsand the proper mixers to come together so I wouldn’t be tempted to empty the bottle all by my lonesome. Soon enough, friends arrived and drinks were mixed. We made at least one of each of their signature 24 cocktails and I can’t think of a single one of which I wouldn’t want a few more.
