Ever wake up with a pounding headache after a day of partying? Unsure how many "grown up drinks" you had, and wishing you'd drank more water along the way? Well I never have, but I bet most of us have a "friend" like this. For my "friend" I've come up with the Paracord Couch Ranger Beer Counter Beads! Two color coded rows of beads are arranged side by side; one bead on top of each row, a fixed knot, then 4 beads below. A bottom bead of one color is slid for each beer you crack open. After tipping back the fifth beer, you slide down the single top bead and slide the 4 beads back up and begin again. Total number of beers that can be counted is 9 - after which you'll have forgotten what you are doing so it won't matter anyway! You slide a bead of the other color for each glass of water you drink. Your goal is to have slid at least as many "water" beads as "beer" beads by the end of the evening, drastically reducing your chances of a hangover that comes with dehydration.

The bead set has an integrated accessory loop perfect for attaching a bottle opener and perhaps a pill fob with tylenol for backup purposes!

In all seriousness, my father in law gave me the idea for this when he cracked a joke over the pacing beads I was making while enjoying a beer at a family birthday party! I thought I have to put something together when I get a chance; and this past weekend I made the first set LOL. I'll (ahem I mean my "friend") will put em to good use.

I'll have to wait till later to get the pics up!

Here is my "friend's" set, complete w/ opener and backup tylenol!

If you've had enough to want Tylenol, you really want something other than Tylenol. Your liver will thank you.

thanks uncle goo; what do you recommend??
