What better day for bad ideas than Monday? I just received an email promo for a new product that’s about as revolutionary as cracked pepper A-1 steak sauce…Jagermeister Spice. Really. I just hope it mixes well with my cake vodka, oh wait, no that’d ruin the experience, they suggest it “demands a different method of consumption: either neat, or as a room temperature shot.” Maybe they’ll do a cross promotion with a ‘steak house’ that actually allows A-1 on the premises.

As far as I’m concerned the only thing Jager really has going for it is that it does actually have a pretty phenomenal logo.

One of the better tattoos i’ve seen in awhile. This is stolen from Vice who’s doing a series “Your Town is a Paradise” in which they’re encouraging peeps to send in debauchery in picture form to prove how gully and cool their city is. Bonus pic from the Bangkok submission-

Face Mug, In Your Face Drinkery http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/08/face-mug-in-your-face-drinkery/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=face-mug-in-your-face-drinkery http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/08/face-mug-in-your-face-drinkery/#comments Fri, 10 Aug 2012 13:22:12 +0000 http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/?p=1353
Peeped this over at the Juxtapoz blog and reveled in its simple genius. But why it gotta be a white mug? At least the coffee is how I like my women, strong, black, and bitter. To cop your very own, head over to UncommonGoods and purchase away. They probably don’t come with cookies and/or donuts but they should.

Monday Maxim – Master Your High Life http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/06/monday-maxim-master-your-high-life/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=monday-maxim-master-your-high-life http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/06/monday-maxim-master-your-high-life/#comments Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:52:25 +0000 http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/?p=935 This week’s maxim comes from Slug off of Atmosphere’s “Feel Good Hit of the Summer Part 2″

I ain't gonna tell you that you better not do it
But master your high, try not to abuse it
Stay away from me if your life's getting stupid
and please stop pretending that it makes better music

While drinking and smoking may be an enjoyable activity don’t fool yourself into thinking it fosters creativity and for Jebus’ sake keep your shit under control.

Just in Time for the Weekend http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/04/just-in-time-for-the-weekend/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=just-in-time-for-the-weekend http://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/2012/04/just-in-time-for-the-weekend/#comments Sat, 28 Apr 2012 01:35:26 +0000 https://commonfolkcollective.com/blog/?p=276 From Good Magazine’s blog, where good things happen, comes some helpful hints for the hobby drinker. Us daily drinkers are pro’s and never get hangovers. I lie. Still get them and they seem to get worse with age. So, this list can help us all. My favorites out of these cures are the sex and the coconut water. Sometimes together.

10 Healthy Ways to Help a Hangover

drink_can

While it’s not something I’m proud of, I’ve got plenty of hangovers under my belt. See, despite all of my healthy practices . . . I’m just not that great at saying no to that third or fourth drink once I get going. Bless those of you who are—and damn those of you who are immune to hangovers altogether!…

Have some miso soup with your eggs. This is totally a thing in Japan. Miso soup replaces a lot of things our bodies need to feel better: water, sodium, and other nutrients depleted by the diuretic effects of the alcohol. Because it’s a fermented food that contains healthy bacteria, miso can also aid with digestion. Too much alcohol is known to disrupt the stomach’s lining and can often result in unpleasant digestive side effects—let’s leave it at that. Oh and the cysteine in eggs breaks down the hangover-causing toxin acetaldehyde, so they really are a good breakfast choice post-boozing (and don’t skip the yellows).

Take a handful of omega 3s—and then repeat. There’s not muchomegas aren’t good for. Take them when you get home; take them when you wake up; take them take them take them. Alcohol causes inflammation (which is at the root of most health problems), and omegas are proven to fight that inflammation a serious way. They will also help combat some of the unpleasant side effects of alcohol on your face, like dry, aggro, blotchy skin. Just trust us on this one.

Drink kombucha tea. Yeah, the weird stuff with the floaties at the bottom that actually can contain a bit of alcohol itself. Maybe it’s a hair-of-the-dog thing, but kombucha absolutely makes us feel better when we have a hangover. Again, it’s fermented, which means it’s really good for your sad little tummy. And if you don’t believe us just ask more seasoned hangover experts like Lindsey Lohan and the ladies at Jezebel.

…And the rest
