Are You Hungover? Hunter S. Thompson Has A Hangover Cure

Are You Hungover? Hunter S. Thompson Has A Hangover Cure

October 17, 2017 (November 7, 2018) // Riot Fest

Are you hungover? Hunter S. Thompson has a cure for you.  [Legally, we have to say “Don’t try this at home,” but we honestly don’t care what you do, you’re a grown-ass adult who can make your own decisions about what you do with your body, but… “Don’t try this at home.”]

Playboy released a huge collection of Hunter S. Thompson correspondences in 2011. Among them, was an undated note scribbled onto stationery from the Beverly Hills Hotel that revealed his hangover cure. We have not tested this method for curing a hangover, so can not confirm if it works or not.

P.S. — inre: Oui’s request for “my hangover cure”—it’s 12 amyl nitrites (one box), in conjunction with as many beers as necessary.
OK
H

YOU ARE NOT HUNTER S. THOMPSON. DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME OR ANYWHERE ELSE. [We have to say that, we don’t care what you do.]
