Tay's Tips on Brunching
*for application when hungover*

1. Always, Always, Always, order more than one beverage. Your waiter will despise you when you rattle off your list, but try flirting with them a little and maybe they won't spit in your coffee. Besides whats a little waiter spit compared to what you had in your mouth last night. So here is my typical order-
Coffee- cause a moring without coffee is like having your eyes taped open, being strapped down to a chair and forced to watch "shall we dance" over and over again.
7-Up- Sprite can be substituted, even diet coke. I find the soda bubbles helps with the nausea.
Water- Duh
Bloody Mary- It has all the vitamins you need and takes the edge off. Tho you must be careful when consuming cause your state can sprial out of control in one of two ways if your not mindful. Either the drink can make you feel even worse, in which case you must cease and desist immediately, or b- you want more more more, and you find yourself in much the same state you were in last night by 2pm on a sunday and you have work the next day.

2. When deciding what to order, do not go with your gut feeling. Use your head about what will "be best for you" at that very moment. About every six months or so I find myself inexplicably again believing smoked salmon or crab cake benedicts are a good idea. About two bites into said plate I find myself rushing to the bathroom in vommity haze of badness. Never, ever, ever order seafood the morning after unless you have the constitution of sailor. And always order something fatty and with protien. Or a salad can bee a good option cause the roughage will make you feel like you are cleaning out your system.

3. Always joke with the waiter about feeling so crappy and about what a night you had the night before. I'm telling you they love this! They can't get enough of their patrons being whiney and anoying, they find it totally charming and don't mind your suffering at all, cause comparably thiers can't be worse, even though they priolly went out the night before as well and are having to work the next day...

4. Leave a big tip, cause you were deff. annoying and considering how much you spent last night, doesn't your waiter deserve a hearty thanks for helping to nurse you back to life?

5. In choosing a brunch spot, consider these factors:
- Distance between you and brunch spot, or if you are meeting people, distances between all parties involved.
-expected crowdedness of brunch spot, based on time of day and popularity
- drinks deals
-word of mouth

Hope you find this helpful

I've seen these tips in action and they helped create a very enjoyable brunch experience. The ordering of three dozen drinks in a single breath really sets the tone for the meal by alerting all involved, including the server, that you're well-versed in hangover recovery and brunch etiquette. The only tip omitted was that you should proudly display your condition by refusing all desires to bath, change your clothes, or generally improve your appearance. I violated that rule and was correctly derided for violating the spirit of the affair.

Cheers!
