Hangover Helper Kit: Make Your Own for Next to Nothing

A hangover kit is a great idea, but fuck a bunch of paying $90 for the “Hangover Helper Set”, even if it does include some interesting products:
• Nickel Morning After Rescue Gel: Facial shock treatment for when waking up is way too difficult.• Menaji 911 Eye Gel: Minimizes those “I was plastered last night” eye bags.
• Supersmile Mouthrinse: Eliminates alcohol breath and taste.
• Molton Brown Black Pepper Body Wash: Removes “that” stench from the body and re-energizes.
• Aspirin: Could help with that headache.
Okay, eye gel? Take two tea bags and pop them on your eyes. Voila—you’ve got the same “caffeine-infused” solution. Follow up with some eye-safe lotion.
Mouthrinse? Brush your teeth, scumbag. Pepper body wash? Actually, this sounds awesome, but the only pepper your body is going to absorb is through your nostrils. As long as you clean your skin, washing off the alcohol funk from your pores, you’ll be fine. Don’t get me started on buying aspirin from a boutique.
So there you have it: A tube of cheap lotion, two tea bags, and some aspirin. Apply liberally while showering and brushing your teeth. I just saved you 89 bucks. (Making the hangover kit and keeping it handy for bleary-eyed mornings is smart thinking, though.)

Joel, you write ‘funk’ an awful lot. Can you just find another word or two to describe filth, junk, waste, grease, etc etc?
PERHAPS I WILL.
