When you wake up from a night of drinking with a raging hangover, the only thing you can think about for the rest of the day is how to kick that pounding headache and nasty nausea as soon as humanly possible. Because of this, anything that seems like it might help you get even close to normal sounds like a good idea. That said, here are the four hangover remedies you should avoid more than that last shot of tequila. (more…)

Originally, Cinco de Mayo was about Mexican victory over the French, when those baguette-eating bastards tried to overtake the city of Puebla. But these days it’s more about seeing how far gone the bottle of tequila can go before somebody blacks out. So we’ve put together a collection of the 44 hottest Mexican models on the planet. Maybe that will make you want to stay conscious this year. Salud!

Tomorrow is Cinco de Mayo – and anyone with access to alcohol is going to be celebrating the beautiful tradition of getting wasted off their ass, Mexico-style. So to give you an idea of what you’re in for, we’re re-posting my first-hand experience with the joys hazards of downing a little too much of the Mexican liquor:

Everyone I’ve ever met has a dark past with tequila. Just the mention of it makes their face go sour–the shots, the smell, the blinding drunk, and a hellacious hangover the next morning. For some reason, I am not one of those people. But after my family vacation to Mexico last week, I learned a bit about another South-of-the-Border brew: Mezcal.

Like tequila (which is actually a type of mezcal), mezcal is made from agave, a cactus-like plant, native to Mexico. Mezcals are often aged, in oak barrels, for two months to seven years, giving the alcohol a brown coloration and woody flavor, but are available un-aged and clear.

Connoisseurs will tell you the best mezcals come from the Mexican state of Oaxaca (wah-hock-ah). To fully enjoy the complexities of this subtle liquor, go to the city of Oaxaca, the state’s capital, who’s colonial architecture and friendly people only add to the liquor’s historic mystic. And also serves as the perfect setting to get way, way too drunk. Read More »

There are so many things to do in Cabo if you find yourself in Mexico. But some people, particularly west coasters just looking for a quick fix, can only get away for the weekend. If you’ve got a weekend in Cabo, figuring out exactly what to do is of course up to you, but below is what I’d recommend based on the few days I recently spent in Cabo. This list does not include your typical spring-break partying spots, but if those are what you’re looking for, I have faith you can find them without my help. If you’ve got suggestions besides these, leave them in a comment for our readers! (more…)

Spring Break is meant for partying, hooking up, and seeing random parts of the world that rely on partying and hooking up as part of it’s GDP. If that is not the recipe for a good time, we’re not sure what is. But one thing that comes close is seeing pictures of other ridiculously drunk people – especially drunk chicks stripping down for the spring-time festivities (i.e. drinking). So sit back, grab yourself a cold one, and see what you might have missed at this year’s spring break!

The growing Latin population in the U.S. means more and more Spanish is being spoken on TV. But that doesn’t mean you have to know Spanish to enjoy the sheer ridiculousness of such spicy import channels as Telemundo and Univision. Even if you don’t know a lick of Spanish, you’ll still find the following four shows highly entertaining. (more…)

The world is getting smaller. The combination of an increasingly rapid advancement of technology and the expansion of the global market has created a world in which…blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. We’ve all heard this before, and quite frankly, it’s old news. The real story isn’t the world getting smaller, it’s the fact that the dating scene is getting bigger.

With the growing popularity of studying abroad and the numerous travel opportunities presented to students the chances of meeting your soul-mate are getting better. We’re no longer stuck scouring classes, the library, or a bar for potential hook-ups; given a couple of months overseas (or weeks in some cases) and a cursory understanding of a foreign language the number of places to meet the next Mr. or Mrs. Right are almost endless.
