Happy Halloween, boys and ghouls and gender-nonconforming vampires.

Let's be real for a second. You're not a kid anymore, and we're not worried about you OD'ing on candy. Tonight, you're just going to get faded as hell on our good old friend alcohol.

And that's fine! When the Lord giveth a Halloween on a Saturday, the Lord ordereth that you drink until you black out and unconsciously book yourself a vacation in one of those little hotels on stilts in the Maldives because they look fucking sweet.

RECIPE: The Dr. Henderson Cocktail

So, that means you'll be having a hangover tomorrow. We could tell you to cure it with canned clam soup or bull penis soup or any other number of not-so-nice-sounding soups. But really you should take some advice from Fergus Henderson, nonpareil chef and owner of St John in London, who probably had a few in the time it took you to read this far.

His hangover cure? More booze, of course! The Dr. Henderson, as he calls it, is a hair-curling but delicious mix of Fernet Branca and creme de menthe. It'll set you straight, if not street legal.

Take one and call the doctor in the morning.
