What is a hangover?

A hangover is what makes you wake up in the morning swearing that you will never drink again. If you still don't know, then read this great article on howstuffworks.

What are electrolytes?

When you break the seal and start going to the bathroom every 10 minutes, you are not only losing water, but you are also losing electrolytes. In a nutshell, electrolytes are the minerals in your body that help your organs function while also absorbing and retaining liquids. Without them, you are more easily affected by the symptoms of a hangover: headaches, lethargy, dry mouth, etc. Again, if you need more, read this great article on howstuffworks.

Why does Hoist™ make you feel better faster?

We really don't understand the "science" behind it, but it sure has helped us through our rough mornings! However, if you must know, this is what our beverage scientist told us: Hoist™ is an Oral Electrolyte Maintenance Solution, much like Pedialyte, the original medical oral re-hydration product developed by Abbott Labs. Its primary goal is to hydrate and re-hydrate the body.
Hoist™ will contain double the amount of electrolytes as the leading sports drinks and will quickly replenish the important nutrients lost due to frequent trips to the bathroom. Since dehydration is the leading cause of hangovers, this drink will allow you to rehydrate and therefore feel like getting right back at whatever you do the next day.

What type of people drink Hoist™?

Hoist™ is for anyone that enjoys having one or more cocktails. Yes, Hoist™ will help the people that go out to forget their problems and wake up in a bush or the "Norm's" of the world that have their own barstool at the local pub. However, Hoist™ was designed to help you feel better faster, so if you want to go out tonight, but have to get up tomorrow morning for work, golf, the in-laws are coming to town (well we can't help you there), or for any other reason, then you should drink a Hoist™ too!

Where can I get a Hoist™?

As of now, we are only selling Hoist™ on drinkhoist.com and in bars around Cincinnati. If you follow The Mino, you will be able to sample Hoist™ all around town.

What bars are Hoist™ available in?

You need to get out and enjoy the local nightlife around Cincinnati to find a Hoist™. Just ask the bartender for one (or 12). If they don't carry Hoist™, tell them they should.

When should I drink Hoist?

We recommend drinking nothing but Hoist™ for the rest of your lives. If you don't want to do that, then we suggest drinking Hoist™ before, during (straight or as a mixer with your favorite liquor), or after a day/night of partying. It will help if you drink it before you go to bed or even when you wake up the following morning or afternoon.

Can Hoist™ be used as a mixer?

Yes, take a look at our drink recipes. In fact, I may go have one myself...

Will Hoist™ make me sober?

NO, NO, NO! Why would we do that to you? Please do NOT drink alcohol and drive.

Why an El Camino?

Shouldn't the question be, why not an El Camino? Actually we liked the idea of turning the bed into a cooler to pass out samples. Plus, haven't you always wanted to drive a Mino?

Can I get the El Camino to my party?

We will definitely try to help out any Mino enthusiasts. Just send an email to let us know where your party is, what it is for and how many people will be there. We may not be able to get The Mino to all of your parties, but bug us enough and we will get her to at least 1 of them. Remember to follow The Mino.
