Today marks the celebration of Mardi Gras, or "Fat Tuesday" in New Orleans. Traditionally, it's the Tuesday before the Christian observance of Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the season of Lent. So, some people party hearty today knowing that tomorrow marks the beginning of Lenten denial.

Next Tuesday is a big day…literally. This year, February 21st is Mardi Gras, or translated, Fat Tuesday. The day we all party down and do all kinds of sinful things before giving it all up for Lent. Yes, even the dogs.
Things are always rocking in New Orleans, but the party gets hotter than ever during Mardi Gras. It's the biggest party of the year in the whole country! What do you need to survive this hangover?
