Be Entertained. Avoid a Hangover. Live the Lifestyle. Oh, and more!

Here is how you make a smashing pumpkin.  Since its that season for pumpkins we thought this would be a great alcoholic drink to make!

1/3 oz Kahlua® coffee liqueur-  Kahlua is a rich, dark brown coffee liqueur made from the finest Mexican coffee, with fine cane spirits and a hint of vanilla. It also contains sugar, corn syrup and vodka, and has a thicker body than most other alcoholic beverages.  Kahlua is the 2nd largest single liqueur brand worldwide. Although it wasn’t introduced to America until 1962, it’s history dates to pre-WWII.

1/3 oz Bailey’s® Irish cream-  Bailey’s Irish Cream is a unique irish spirit made from a mix of cream, sugar, cocoa and the finest irish spirits. Each bottle of Bailey’s is 50% fresh cream, combined with triple distilled Irish Whiskey. It contains no additives or preservatives, and has become the best known irish cream in the world since it’s initiation in 1974.

1/3 oz Goldschlager® cinnamon schnapps-  A clear swiss cinnamon schnapps, containing 24 carrot gold leaf flakes.

This was actually a great little video MSNBC.com put on.  They conducted an interview with Rally Bartending School in North Carolina. 

Did you know what the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration states would take to reach the 0.8% alcohol blood level?

-Men at 170 pounds would have 4 alcoholic drinks in 1 hour to go over.
-Female’s at 137 pounds would have 3 alcoholic drinks in 1 hour to go over. 

Did you know that 8% of alcohol is absorbed in your mouth?

The foods to stay away from are starches and carbohydrates because they help speed the absorption.  Another note is never go an drink on an empty stomach this also assists in hangovers.  The best foods to eat while drinking are proteins and fats.

To really help a hangover you need to use several different kinds of methods.  For example if you just rely on vitamin B12 to help your hangover then the chances of getting a hangover will be less.  When you take vitamin B12 and combine that with vitamin C and Taurine for example your likeness of getting a hangover is reduced by a lot!  Why is this?

First Impression Box Wine Shame

My fiance and i went over to his friend from work’s house for a cheap wine/bad movie night.I was excited but a little nervous because i was meeting him and his wife for the first time and since i was still tired from staying up til 4am for my friend’s 21st.After the 4 of us went out to dinner, we cracked open the box wine, listened to some music and then put in THE LAST DRAGON.After checkin out the recording room,playing some wii, smoking a few cigarrettes and attempting a magazine crossword puzzle drunk, we were shown the guest room and went to bed for the night.i was drunk but not sick or too drunk)

The next morning, i felt a little silly becuse i had realized i had probably talked too much the night before but i didn’t feel that i had made an ass of myself or anything.

After getting in&out, grabbing our stuff and saying good bye, My fiance slowly began filling me on on some details that i had missed that evening..

Even though i remembered what i thought had been the entire evening,There was 2 crucial hours missing from my memory that had happened mid evening.

Not only had i been talking to his coworker’s super sweet and slightly shy wife the entire night, i guess i kept invading her personal space as well.

My fiance told me that i kept getting REALLLY close to her face and at one point in the night while admiring how she did her make up i told her to close her eyes and proceeded to trace her make up lines with my index finger. Since she’s so sweet she just put up with it. To make matters worse, my fiance kept trying to tell me “hey babe….you’re touching her face..” And i would stop, turn around a second and say Oh i am? oh i’m sorry! then instantly forget what i was told and proceed with what i was doing

I also kept asking her to have a drink with me(i had picked up my wine glass again evidently) and she kept telling me no. no thankyou, i’m fine. so i’d say oh ok. and then ask her again like 5min later.

When we went out into their back yard i remember leaning over their pool and asking if it was heated.
What i didn’t remember was plungling my arm into the water like a bear to test the temperature.

After abandoning the pool i was distracted by this bizzare fruit tree that was hanging over the back fence and then muttering something about soil nutrients i picked two of the bizare fruit and shoved them in my purse and then asked for a cigarette from the shy wife.

After being told that not only does she not smoke she doesn’t like the smell, i was given a cigarrette by my man and as she stepped back i kept stepping forward, unaware of what i was just told.it was a slow,sltealthy chase around the back patio i was told.

Eventually after digging through my ipod and putting on music that you can oly enjoy drunk, i picked up the magazine on the table and then my memory returned.(that’s when i attempted the crossword puzzle.in pen.)

Keep in mind that this was my first encounter with these two people!

I have been embarrassed the whole day since that car ride home! Especially since i am one of those people that don’t get drunk that often and on the occasion that i do, i RARLEY get carried away.

(only 2wice before; once for my friends 18th birthday where i spent the morning puking to david bowie with only half of my pants, and then once at my going away party where i woke up the next morning to find a giant avocado in my sweatshirt pocket)

I guess that they were laughing and after reading some of the stories it could’ve been worse, but unfortunatley i feel that that is the first last and only time we are getting invited over there again. What sucks is up until those two crucial hours, we were all getting along great. I guess sleep deprivation and box wine is the equvalent of acid. WORST FIRST IMPRESSION EVER!TERRIBLE!

BADHAP.com is a great site if you want to laugh!

We are sure some of you have had stories like this.  If you have had a crazy drunk, hangover, or night out story then please email us at info@zacalife.com and put in the subject: “Story”

Zaca hangover patch doesn’t help you time travel better it just helps you with that aweful feeling in the a.m..

What really causes hangovers?  Is it dehydration or simply a nutrient depletion?  A hangover is not from overindulgence of alcohol, its from dehydration, nutrient depletion, and perhaps poisons in alcohol.

“There’s good evidence emerging that the chief cause of hangover is acute withdrawal from alcohol,” says Mack Mitchell, M.D., vice president of the Alcoholic Beverage Medical Research Foundation in Baltimore, and assistant professor of medicine at Johns Hopkins University. “The cells in your brain physically change in response to the alcohol’s presence; when the alcohol is gone, you go through withdrawal until those cells get used to doing without the alcohol.” Couple that with the effects alcohol has on the blood vessels in your head (they can swell significantly), and you end up living through a day after that you’d rather forget.”

Alcohol Depletes Body Of Nutrients
As this may hold true one things for sure, alcohol does deplete your body of necessary nutrients including vitamins, minerals and blood sugar.  That’s why its so important to replenish those nutrients while drinking.

Drink Lots Of Water
Alcohol is diuretic which means it flushes fluids from the body and increases urination.  So don’t drink to much coffee after waking up with a hangover because coffee does the same things.  This is why its so important to be drinking high quality, high PH water.  You need to be hydrated.

Stay Away from Poisonous Drinks
Some mix drinks may contain 2 ingredients which are poisonous to our body’s.  Methanol and acetone are the two and they can be found in the mixers for the drinks.  Stay away from this even if it taste good.

What causes hangovers is not just one thing it can be a multiple of things but we do know that depletion of necessary nutrients and dehydration are the two major reasons.  The next time you go out to have some fun remember what causes hangovers and stop it before you feel it the next day!

Vitamin C is found everywhere!  Its found in foods and supplements.  Supplements you need to watch out for.  Their are all different forms of vitamins and most supplements contain the synthetic forms.  You want to stay away from those forms because there is no beneficial reason for taking them.

We receive emails every single day about our ingredients.  So today we are going to focus on vitamin C and what it may do for a hangover.

Everyone knows how vitamin C is an antioxidant?  So what it does is it helps to fight free radicals in your body.  The reason why you need vitamin C while drinking is because alcohol metabolizes and then your body detoxifies itself releasing free radicals.  Vitamin C may also work on headaches and pain because it inhibits prostaglandins which are responsible for these pains.  It has also been known to help with motor co-ordination, alcohol clearance and stimulates the liver to break down the alcohol.

Here are some healthy, whole food sources of vitamin C:

Raw food is always the best way to eat your foods when trying to consume large amounts of nutrients.  The other great thing with food is you can’t over dose on it!  Its food!!

Yes, Zaca the organic hangover patch does contain this perticular ingredient and its the real vitamin C complex.  The difference between eating the actual food and wearing the organic hangover patch is the food is going to fill you up.  You also will have to cosume large amounts of foods because of the nutrient loss in our foods now-a-days.  The hangover patch you simply put on and forget about it for 24 hours.  Its that easy!

This is a pretty interesting article.  The United States Culture is about drinking beer, wine or liquor.  This has been going on for decades.   It is really funny how people will go out and drink a lot and then come home and talk about it on Facebook.com, Twitter and many other social networks.  

The article below is a comparison between Google Trends, Facebook and Twitter and how they can teach us oh so much about humanity.

Hangovers are really popular on the internet especially throughout social networks.  Its the season so make sure to stock up on your Zaca patches!

You probably hear people say, “mixing drinks causes worse hangovers.”  On this short video you will see what the results are

The video was presented pretty well.  There are a few things we would need to investigate further to get a more accurate result.  Dr Know definitely proved that mixing drinks can cause a worse hangover then not mixing.  The loud microphone in the morning would make anyone wake up hungover even if they didn’t drink.  That really wasn’t fair to the drinkers…

Until next time.

Cheers!
