ABOUT US:

The Plug's manufacturing partner has invested into R&D to come up with our proprietary blend of 13 herbal plants, in which we have honed down to one flavor, which we thought was important and would resonate well with the American consumer. In Asia (Korea and Japan, specifically), the anti-hangover market is already a proven mature market; whereas, in the United States it is in its early innings. We believe that we are well positioned to take on the market due to our product’s edge, timing of the online/offline business model, and growing demand for hangover remedies.

The Plug Drink. Inc, is on a mission to help people be able to replenish their body with all the nutrients it needs to stay hydrated, flush toxins out and don't pay for unnecessary additives. Enjoy some drinks and wake up hangover-free, refreshed, and ready to hustle the next day. Founded in 2019, the idea behind The Plug Drink is simple: all natural plant based ingredients. No added sugar, no diet sweeteners EVER, and low calorie!
