We've all been there: You throw, or attend, an amazing party, drink too much, smoke too much, dance too much and stay up way too late. But, by morn, despite the fact that the party is definitely over, its sticky remnants remain. Enter the 'Hangover Helpers.'

According to the Associated Press, a couple of University of Colorado graduates have come up with this ingenious business model. These folks show up the morning after your party with breakfast, Gatorade and the fortitude to clean up your mess. Brilliant!

And now, who's going to take up this banner and run with it in the Q.C.? (Quick, now: New Years Eve is just around the corner.) To supplement the business, might I suggest you also offer coffee and breakfast delivery for the greater Charlotte population ...

What would you pay to clean up this after-party disaster ... especially if you're hugging the toilet with a hangover? (Note the dudes with black eyes.)
