With a song like “Drinkin’ Problem,” we figured the guys in Midland might have some advice for dealing with a hangover.  Bassist Cameron Duddy says, “The problem is that there is no real way around … drink really good Mezcal or good fill in the blank. Try and get top shelf stuff. If you can’t afford that, drink a lot of water before you go to bed. Or you just don’t drink but that’s not fun.”

On the off chance that his would hear what he has to say, and not wanting her to think that he and his band mates are total lushes, lead singer Mark Wystrach offered, “Mom if you’re listening I think the band rule is that everything in moderation, including moderation sometimes.  And sometimes you’re going to have those, you know, you’ve got to celebrate the little victories along this way and sometimes you get carried away with friends and it gets a little wild. So, there’s gonna be those days there’s not too much of a cure for that. You just have to white knuckle it through it. And when all else fails there is one age old fail-safe, the Bloody Mary and it’s the hair of the dog as they say. So you got to have one or two and jump right back on it.”

With “Drinkin’ Problem” sitting in the top 15 on the charts and continuing to climb, Midland may soon have to use some of their hangover cure advice after they celebrate the success of the song.
