Alcohol

Sorry if this is too late – and double sorry if the last thing you want to read about right now is alcohol. Hopefully this knowledge is enough to help you make better decisions next time

Six degrees of hangover – you've probably experienced them all. Hopefully not at the same time, but considering it's the weekend, we're willing to bet you're dealing with at least one – or part of one – of the following types of backlash from booze right now

You went overboard last night – and there's nothing you can do about it now. Likewise for that deafening headache and soul-wrenching queasiness. While we've tested our fair share of "hangover cures," there's only so much these placebo strategies really alleviate. So we looked abroad for a potential remedy

It’s part speakeasy, part laboratory, and all quality. In fact, owner Jake Valianes spent the better part of a year travelling the world to ensure that Linwood Essentials could compete with the best cocktails from around the globe

Between cottage weekends, road trips, day-long boat adventures, pool parties, park parties, house parties (okay, any type of party) and concerts, there’s simply too much fun to be had on the weekend these days. Right? The problem is, of course, Monday comes like a slap in the face

Let’s put your love of beer to the test: Would you still drink it by the litre if it didn’t produce some sort of inebriating effect? You probably answered yes, refined young professional, since drinking for the sake of getting drunk is juvenile… and you love the taste. Good news, then, because non-alcoholic beer is finally becoming a thing in Canada thanks to PremiumNearBeer.com, Canada’s first, and only, online “near beer” store

Put down your beer. Skip the single-malt. De-wine yourself. But still have a good ‘ol fashioned inebriated time…? Sounds a little too good to be true, doesn’t it? Well, not to Prof. David Nutt, the current President of the British Neuroscience Association and Vice-President of the European Brain Council

Let’s be honest: nothing feels great about waking up from a blurry evening, head pounding, mouth dry, and that inevitable frantic cell phone/wallet check. Then the hazy memories (or lack thereof) come flooding back, along with a sick sense of guilt as you think to yourself, “I should know better than this.”
