The time has come to give the streets over to the amatuers and make room for them to drink and puke in public (perhaps a lot of room).

 We at Provokator feel that while the meek shall inherit the earth, it's really entertaining watching the meek toss their cookies on the corner of Inebriation Street and Intoxication Avenue. But watching them suffer the ravages of alcohol poisoning the next day is like watching clubbed seals try to inch their way towards the water in efforts to escape the bludgeoning...messy and futile.

As liquid grain and liquor professionals we offer you handy helpful hangover hints as our gift to you for this New Year .... 2006.
We have also furnished a little list of New Years myths and legends for your painful post party perusal...enjoy!!! 

Hangover Cures:
We recommend that you try both sites as one is far more entertaining than the other but one of them does encourage Alcoholics Anonymous
for those who need to cure a hangover more than once a week...(the authors obviously not living in Prague).

Site A: soyouwanna.com 

Site B: hungover.net  

and The Seattle Times has handy hokey helpful hints too. 

(What? You thought we'd list them for you? We're out doing liver aerobics in preparation for the big day!)

New Years Myths, Legends and subsequent Symbolism: 

 -The beginning of spring is a logical time to start a new year. After all, it is the season of rebirth, of planting new crops, and of blossoming. January 1, on the other hand, has no astronomical nor agricultural significance. It is purely arbitrary.

-During the Middle Ages, the Church remained opposed to celebrating New Years. January 1 has been celebrated as a holiday by Western nations for only about the past 400 years.

-Many cultures believe that anything in the shape of a ring is good luck, because it symbolizes "coming full circle," completing a year's cycle. For that reason, the Dutch believe that eating donuts on New Year's Day will bring good fortune.

-Many parts of the U.S. celebrate the new year by consuming black-eyed peas. These legumes are typically accompanied by either hog jowls or ham.

-The tradition of using a baby to signify the new year was begun in Greece around 600 BC.

-The use of an image of a baby with a New Years banner as a symbolic representation of the new year was brought to early America by the Germans.
