DENVER, CO / ACCESSWIRE / March 16, 2015 / Hangover Joe's Holding Corporation ( (HJOE), the maker of "The Hangover" Recovery Shot, and Git-R-Done-Energy with Larry The Cable Guy announces the 4th annual celebration of Hangover Joe's Day on March 18th. "Honoring those of you who tipped a pint or two while enjoying everything Irish on St. Patrick's Day, we invite you to join us in a celebratory two-ounce toast to rapid hangover recovery on Wednesday, March 18, 2015. Hangover Joe's has just launched our new Hangover Recovery Bottles and we are re-launching the brand across the USA with the new labels, so it’s a very exciting time for us," said Matthew Veal, CEO of Hangover Joe's.
"Those who threw caution to the wind and tipped a pint or two while enjoying everything Irish can now join millions of Americans in a celebratory toast to a rapid recovery on March 18, 2015 – the 4th annual National Hangover Joe's Day. This is a bigger day for Hangovers in the USA than New Years," added Mike Jaynes, Co-Founder & Chairman of the board of HJOE. St. Patrick’s Day is one of the largest days of alcohol consumption in the U.S.A. The Hangover Recovery Shot by Hangover Joe's gives consumers the advantage of waking up with morning after with hangover relief at their hands this March 18th.
This is becoming a tradition for the company that is a leader in hangover recovery in America and soon in Asia. We also are about to launch on a grand scale in Korea, Japan & China so the brand is growing both domestically & internationally. We have been out all weekend in New Orleans were we just stocked the city with the new Hangover Relief Shots for St. Paddy’s Day. We will have our team out on Tuesday in the Historic French Quarter (FQ) sampling product and updating our fans all over the world via social media. All the Walgreen stores in the FQ have a wall of Hangover Recovery for St. Paddy's Day and we are in many stores all over the city and also Las Vegas as we focus on building the brand where millions come to indulge throughout the year.
"Hangover Joe's day is for all the working stiffs out there that celebrate in the spirit of the Irish," the brand says.
Shawn Adamson, Co-founder and VP of Sales & Marketing at Hangover Joe's (HJOE), stated, "St. Patrick's Day is one of the largest holidays for alcohol consumption in the U.S.A., representing more than 1% of total alcohol revenues each year. That's why Hangover Joe christened March 18th as Hangover Joe's Day....so that every working stiff out there can celebrate in the spirit of the Irish on March 17th with the peace of mind that Hangover Joe's will be there to provide effective relief for them on March 18th." Adamson added, "Although Hangover Joe is definitely no Saint, he knows that on March 17th there is a little bit of St. Patrick in everyone."
According to the 2009 American Community Survey, U.S. residents claiming Irish ancestry are nearing the 37 million mark -- about eight times the current population of Ireland. St. Patrick's Day marks the death of the beloved 5th-century Catholic saint who, according to legend, banished all snakes from Ireland and used the 3-leaf clover, or shamrock, to teach the Irish the doctrine of the holy trinity: the Father, Son and Holy Ghost. St. Patrick's Day has been observed as a religious holiday on the Emerald Island for more than 1,000 years; and the Irish have traditionally used this break in Lent as a reason to sneak off to the pub. Initially, Irish-Americans took the idea of imbibing on St. Patrick's Day to heart and transformed the "high holiday" into a celebration of all things Irish.
According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, alcohol abuse costs the United States an estimated $175 billion each year. Nearly half of that green, $88 billion in fact, is directly linked to binge drinking and the related instances of alcohol-induced injuries and the productivity loss from morning after illnesses. NATIONAL HANGOVER JOE'S DAY brings attention to this dilemma by highlighting the potential effects of excessive and binge drinking.
"The Hangover"(TM) Recovery Shot could save the American economy and its consumers billions of dollars in coming years," said Adamson. "This simple recovery aid could significantly decrease alcohol-related absenteeism and lost productivity in the workplace. The implications are tremendous." Typically, March 18th is one of the leading "sick days" in the country. Hundreds of thousands of people call in sick in order to nurse the after effects of a rousing St. Patrick's Day. The national recovery of this holiday costs American companies billions of dollars each year.
The U.S. isn't the first country to feel the financial pinch of holiday-related binge drinking. In the early 1900s, Irish MP James O'Mara took a stance against the excessive alcohol consumption on St. Patrick's Day in Ireland by instituting a law that required pubs and bars to close their doors on March 17th. This sobering provision was finally repealed in the 1970s. In the end, Americans revelers just shrug their shoulders, raise a pint, and shout "Slainté!" as they toast to good health. It just goes to show that even average Joe's are Irish on March 17th, which is good reason for Americans to stock up on "The Hangover"(TM) Recovery Shot for the inevitable morning after. This day is for all the Hangover Joe's! "Remember Hangover Relief Is Just A Shot Away!" Get it & Get Over it with Hangover Joe's.
