Peels is a brand of alcoholic mixed drinks that, unlike most others in their category, are made with real fruit juice. Like so many mixed drinks, they are aimed a women, but their flavors - Blueberry Pomegranate, Cranberry Peach and Strawberry Passion Fruit - should appeal to anyone who likes fruity flavors. For this holiday season, the company has released a new flavor, Spiced Apple. The drink is made with 100% natural ingredients and tastes similar to a classic spiced cider, with the crisp taste of apples and the warming scent of cinnamon. It can even be heated up, although the rest of the Peels drinks are generally meant to be served cold. It contains 5% alcohol by volume and the company says that it is "perfect for a girls' night-in, a seasonal party or just enjoying in front of the fire."Posts with tag alcoholic

The "road to the palace of wisdom" may be paved with excess, but that doesn't mean you have to wake in the gutter feeling like complete scum. Just scummy. On that rare occasion that you overdo it on the booze and end up with what is medically known as veisalgia, you have to take pre-emptive measures in order to be at least intellectually presentable the next morning.
- Before walking or getting a ride home from the party/bar/friend's start drinking water. Alcohol is diuretic and you need all the water you can handle at this point.
- Upon arrival home, continue to down water while you cook something light. Don't get fancy with flambes. These recipes are from The Sunday London Times and I have made several variations of the simple Spinach Pasta. I went heavy on the garlic and drank tons of water. Plus, you can always take a peek at some of our other favorites for the "morning after."
I say this as someone who used to drink a lot. I don't anymore, but maximizing water hydration (even while drinking), and eating pasta before crashing seemed to help. However, there are a lot of factors that lead to a hangover; you pay to party, body and mind.

Coffee may curb liver damage
A few cups of coffee a day may help lower the risk of alcohol related liver cirrhosis, according to the results of a study recently published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. The New York Times recently reported on the study, which tracked the health and dietary habits of over 125,000 people from 1978 to 2001. "Compared with people who never drank coffee, those who drank one cup a day or less were about 30 percent less likely to develop alcoholic cirrhosis," the NYT article states. Likelihood of developing alcoholic cirrhosis dropped even more as the number of daily cups of coffee rose. Tea didn't produce the same effects, ruling out the possibility that caffeine is to thank. Researchers are still unsure as to what the preventative ingredient in coffee is.
