I received two free Zaca organic hangover patches for review a few months ago and have been anxiously waiting for a good time to try them out. This past weekend presented the perfect opportunity - Sunday was San Francisco's Bay to Breakers. For those who haven't heard of Bay to Breakers, it is a "marathon" stretching from the San Francisco Bay to the Pacific Ocean. In reality, it is a 7 mile walk filled with extravagant costumes, huge floats (many containing kegs) and enough alcohol consumption per capita to lay waste(d) to the entire route.
Since the race starts early in the morning, I put the patch on at around 8 AM. Almost immediately I felt a nice jolt - whatever herbs were in the patch really perked me up - I didn't even need my morning coffee. At around 9 I met some friends out in the street and started celebrating. As the day moved along, I continued to feel upbeat and energized in spite of the copious amount of "partying" I was doing. (Just for the record, I did plan on recording my entire day for this review, but lost my camera sometime around 1 PM.)
The party started slowing down at around 1:30, but I stayed in the park with some friends until around 3. Still, I was disappointed; with this much time to recover before even going to bed, there was little reason for me to be hung over, patch or no patch. Determined to continue the experiment however, I left the patch on as we went out for food and then back to my apartment to watch a movie.
I was still feeling good at around 10PM that night and got into bed expecting no problems what-so-ever the following morning. "All in all," I thought to myself, "the hangover patches might actually be worth it." Then it happened. Out of nowhere: PANIC ATTACK. (Review continued below...)

The hangover patch works great! Just have to put it on when you start drinking, and that's it, it works for 24 hours. And I love how it's organic.

Cris - Thanks for the input! I am not usually too worried about hangovers. My secret recipe is one glass of water after every glass of alcohol, and 4 glasses before bed. Works like a charm :) I am however curious - have... more »
