Markets in Everything: All-You-Can-Drink Cruise
USAToday Travel -- "Add industry giant Carnival to the list of lines offering "all-you-can-drink"
alcohol packages. The world's largest cruise company this month has begun testing a nearly $50
per day package on the Carnival Victory that gives buyers access to unlimited
wine, beer and spirits as well as sodas and non-alcoholic frozen cocktails."

A hangover is just God's way of saying "you kicked ass last night!"
And, of course, nothing solves the related neasea of a hangover quite like the rocking of a ship at sea.
I would love to go on a booze cruise like this, but once I got home I think I'd be afraid to stop drinking. I'm afraid the cumulative hangover would literally kill me.
Ok, I'm done with the booze jokes. For now.
Hmmm, this sort of cruise package sounds like it has potential to be an ambulance chaser's dream...
This sounds like a nightmare for the folks on board that don't care to drink themselves silly.
I don't know why anybody would buy this plan, since it is certain not to be a deal.
1) I'd bet only their cheapest swill is eligible for the plan
2) They'll cut you off in the name of "public safety" long before you jeopardize profits.

I second the motion.
jon-
we discovered literally the perfect hangover cure in college:
a unit of IV saline and a b-12 shot.
your hangover literally just vanishes.
(gotta love med students)
seem to me that some enterprising nurse practitioners could make a killing on one of there cruises.
rent a little space from the ship and sell hangover cures at $50 a pop.
my old doctor in san francisco offered this (though for considerably more than $50) and even did house calls.

believe me, there are days when it it SO worth it.
talk about the perfect biz model for a cruise: sell booze, sell hangover cures, sell more booze. it's practically perpetual motion.
Morganovich-
In Las Vegas, they have trucks that drive around and sell that solution for about $5 a pop. Is that one of your friends? :-P
But I too have my own perfect cure for hangovers: responsible drinking!

Oh Man! That's pretty extreme, don't you think?
What fun is that? :)
