Amerilab product takes the edge off a night of living on the edge
Amerilab Technologies, based in Plymouth, Minnesota, has developed an all-natural effervescent tablet called Drinkin’ Mate which is being called the best friend for people hitting the party circuit. Drinkin' Mate Tabs are made up of patents-pending, natural herbal extracts that — when dissolved in water — help the body process and get rid of the hangover-producing by-products created by excessive alcohol consumption. All you have to do is drop an effervescent tablet into four ounces of water and drink before, during or after consuming alcoholic beverages. Hangovers are no longer the norm, as long as you plop one of these tablets in water before heading out.
