Brexit Has Happened and We All Need a Stiff Drink

As Britain comes to terms with its decision to leave the European Union, booze may be the only option. We suggest something easy-to-mix-while-weeping and filled with copious amounts of bottom shelf gin.

It actually happened. Your grandparents, Boris Johnson, and a man who thinks women shouldn't be allowed in the pub smoking room got their way: Britain has voted to leave the European Union.

As the country teeters on the edge of mass hysteria, it's hard to know what to do. Add your Farage meme to the hundreds already circulating the social media stratosphere? Jump on the next flight to Copenhagen and hope one of its beautiful, democratic citizens gives you a green card?

RECIPE: Gin and Juice

Both good options. Another one: booze. Since we won't be able to buy cheap French wine anymore and the pound is so low that fancy British ale is out of the question (sorry, Nige), may we suggest something easy-to-mix-while-weeping and filled with copious amounts of bottom-shelf gin?

Throw in some orange slices and console yourself with the fact that at least now those EU bureaucrats are out of the picture, British-made products like gin will be free to prosper!

Oh, wait.
