We assume your mother always stressed that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. Our mothers were referring to bloody Marys at Golden West Cafe, but we're thinking booze and Lucky Charms—wonderful as they are—aren't going to get you through the day after a late night. You need good old fashioned carbs, protein, calcium and fat to soak up the lingering effects of those G and Ts you imbibed at...which bar was it again?

Ah, who cares, anyway? Maybe you'll remember after you grab a breakfast sandwich.
