Fuel up with a hearty 'Hangover Breakfast' at the gritty Palace Grill Sandwich Shop.
Afternoon
Kick off the crawl at Richard's Bar for $2 Old Styles and free popcorn, channeling Neil's pre-shift ritual.

Nurse that nasty hangover with a 'Beermosa' and loaded hash browns at Lone Wolf Tavern.

Close out the bender at The Beacon Tavern, sipping 'Ecto Cooler' cocktails as you relive the weekend's hazy highlights.

Additional Notes
Remember, it's not just about getting wasted—it's about embracing the chaos, the camaraderie, and the bad decisions that make for legendary stories. Pace yourself, party hard, and don't forget to tip your bartenders, you animals. Malört optional, but highly encouraged.
