If someone offered you $10,000 if you could crash 100 parties in 100 days from Memorial Day to Labor Day, could you do it?
This is the exact proposition that Function Party Crasher, Willie, was offered and is currently attempting in his quest to prove that Function Drink’s Urban Detox is indeed the drinking man’s liquid hangover cure of choice.
And while I’m not one for crashing parties on a nightly basis, I do like to get the party started on weekends. Currently my hangover cure of choice is drinkwel vitamin supplements, a lemon-lime Gatorade and a solid amount of sleep. But when it comes to maintaining the drinking lifestyle, one can never be too prepared when it comes to hangover prevention.
I decided to see if Urban Detox could replace Gatorade as my post drinking, drink of choice—not so much as a hangover cure or preventative—but more so as a healthy alternative to a beer only diet. Because let’s be real. Just because something has antioxidants, doesn’t mean that it’s going to cancel out those 6 beers, 4 patron shots and 2 four lokos you downed the night before. It’s just not.
So with that in mind, I gave Function’s Urban Detox Goji Berry and Citrus Prickly Pear a try. Prickly pear is one of the key hangover cure ingredients according to the label on the bottle. Apparently it helps with those pounding hangover headaches you feel the next day. I don’t know about all that, but I do know that the Citrus Prickly Pear flavor was delicious. It’s lighter tasting (see: less syrupy) than Gatorade, and better tasting than G2 in my opinion. And while I can’t accurately vouch for it’s hangover curing abilities just yet, I can say that Function is a great alternative to the sugary Vitamin waters, Gatorades and other “healthy” drinks available out there. And if Function Party Crasher Willie makes it to all 100 of those parties, I’d say that’s a pretty bold statement in and of itself.
Give it a try and leave a comment with your thoughts…

To the Drunk Pirate-
I can vouch for Urban Detox’s anti-hangover abilities. I drink it before I go to bed and wake up feeling dandy. Although Gatorade is a fine product it simply makes me more hydrated but leaves me with a raging hangover still intact. Enjoy

Today is Day 65 out of 100 and I still have my day job, my health and my relationships. I’m not an employee of function, I’m just a dude who’s testing the drink. It works!

I never bought it, the bottle looked so funny that I didn’t know what’s all about. But now maybe I’ll give it a try.

I found that this is excellent for cleaning out things in your body that cause allergies. I had a runny nose for months doctors could not find me a cure to it, drank this drink for 2 days and it was gone. Everything I start to feel sick I drink a bottle of this stuff and it flushes my inside out and makes me feel great a lot quicker.

Just found this drink tried the Acai Pomegrante first…liked the flavorful taste,now Im at the Citrus Prickly Pear Urban Detox.love the flavor not sweet at all no after taste like gatorade,and no heartburn as thats what happens to me when I drink a full 32oz of gatorade,like the citrus flavor it leaves on the tongue.
I bought 10 bottles and so far so good.Thanks finally something thats lives up to its advertisement!

I can’t speak for prickly pear extract, but I can certainly say NAC, the other special ingredient in Urban Detox, is a magnificent hangover cure. Anytime I know I drank enough to continue seeing double the next day, I take a few NAC capsules with a glass of water before I go to sleep and feel fresh as hell the next day.

I use Function: Urban Detox pretty often – not for hangovers, but because I live in a smog-filled city. Let me say this – IT WORKS! My entire family is sick, except for me ^_^ I started drinking the Prickly Pear and Goji Berry as soon as I knew they were sick. One a day seems to be enough to keep the sick away :) Definitely planning on having some this weekend for the party! ;D

I just bought 10 bottles yesterday. So far I’ve had GOJI BERRY, POMEGRANATE CHERRY and CITRUS PRICKLY PEAR and I love them all. I found out about Urban Detox while searching for prickly Pear vitamins. Urban Detox is now my drink of choice.

I have been suffering from a bout of bronchitis and sinus problems for the past five weeks that have driven me crazy. I came upon Urban Detox today in our cafeteria at work and thought I would give it a try. This stuff WORKS!! It opened me up for the first time in weeks. I have tried every vitamin and herb but nothing cleared my sinuses and congestion. I cannot believe what one bottle did for me!! I am buying thus stuff by the case!
