I have recently discovered the magic that is brunch. Breakfast and lunch foods mixed together to make one awesome, mismatched meal that usually involves getting dressed up and alcohol. Does any of that sound bad to you?

If you need more convincing, read on to see my top 7 reasons why brunch is the best thing on this earth.

1. Brunch drinks

Brunch drinks usually include alcohol, like mimosas and bloody mary's. They both have just enough juice to feel like a morning drink, but also enough alcohol to feel like a cocktail. It's the perfect mix of both.

2. The food

Does this even have to be said? You get breakfast and lunch choices, which is perfect for those indecisive eaters that can't choose. You want a plate filled with waffles, chicken and potatoes? You got it with brunch.

3. Dessert!

Every brunch I have been to included a dessert table (and one even included a chocolate fountain that got my whole group a little too excited). The dessert table usually includes brownies, cakes, fruit and lots of sweet goodness that is the perfect ending to the meal.

4. Sundays are for brunch

Brunch is usually reserved for Sundays, which to me makes perfect sense. You eat brunch, and then get to go home and fall into a food induced coma for a few hours without worrying about work or responsibilities. It's a good choice.

5. The perfect time for a meal

Brunch is never at the crack of dawn, it's usually more like 11 or 12 o'clock. I am not a big morning person or a big morning eater, so it being this late is just fine by me. Sleeping late and good food, what else could you ask for?

6. Brunch is the best hangover cure

I have not met a hangover that couldn't be cured with a bloody mary and brunch food. It just works.

7. It's fun!

Eating lunch/breakfast food, enjoying some drinks and catching up with friends and family. It turns out being a really good day for your group and you'll slowly find yourself addicted to it.
