This NYE, Throw a Hangover-Free House Party
Hosting feels a bit like playing grown-up. The ordinary tasks involved in having people over—texting out an invite, deciding on a menu, making a playlist—stand in stark contrast to the relaxed, inviting atmosphere of a house party. Remember house parties? The kind with moody, low lighting and conversation that lingers into the night. We love them, with one caveat: the hangover.
“It used to be expected that if you have fun, you’re going to feel horrible afterwards. It was part of the deal, but fortunately it doesn’t have to be anymore,” says Helena Price Hambrecht, co-founder and CEO of Haus, a low-alcohol apéritif. “You don’t want the parties to end, but as you get older, you don’t really have time for the hangover part.”
