Article text: LAFAYETTE — “I became a user 12 years ago,” Larry Wright said. “I was feeling arthritic pain in my hands so bad that I couldn’t button buttons or zip zippers.”
Instead of following his doctor’s suggestion of medication or surgery, he turned to gin-soaked raisins for relief.
And within a couple of weeks, he noticed a significant decrease in pain.
Disappointed that he couldn’t find any sources to buy the raisins from, Wright recently decided to continue making them and turn his relief into a business.
He launched his company’s website — DrunkenRaisins.com — in September and is now in the full-speed-ahead mode of building inventory, developing marketing and making sales. Continue reading “DrunkenRaisins in the Boulder County Business Report”

Our friend and DrunkenRaisins Family Member, Pam Babbit, was kind enough to share this great recipe! Let us know what you think:
This appetizer is absolutely fantastic! And I bet it would be even better with Drunken Raisins.
Cream Cheese Spread
(sorry, most ingredients do not have quantities)
1 block cream cheese
pesto
marinara or spaghetti sauce
chopped black olives
golden raisins
cranberries
splash of balsamic vinegar
It’s better to make it the night before or a few hours ahead so that the raisins and cranberries absorb the moisture. Enjoy!
This was very exciting! The Boulder County Business Report did a write-up on us when we launched our site.
Here’s what their staff reporter wrote:
LAFAYETTE – DrunkenRaisins, a home-based company in Lafayette, has begun manufacturing and selling gin-soaked raisins intended to relieve pain from arthritis.
Larry Wright, founder of Lawrence A. Wright Inc., doing business as DrunkenRaisins, said raisins soaked in gin are a well-known home remedy for the alleviation of inflammation pain associated with arthritis. Wright covers the gin-soaked raisins in honey and cinnamon, and calls them golden raisins.
Wright said there is a lack of high-quality empirical research on gin-soaked raisins, but there is a great deal of testimonial evidence showing that golden raisins, juniper berries, cinnamon and honey all demonstrate significant anti-inflammatory activity.
Wright started the company after experiencing pain relief from his homemade gin-soaked raisins. He discovered that “drunken raisins” were not available for purchase, and decided to open his business to share the experience with other arthritis sufferers.
Wright recommends eating 16 to 18 raisins each day for the first couple of weeks, then eating about 8 to 9 raisins each morning.
The gin-soaked raisins are sold in one-pound through 10-pound bags, ranging in price from $24.95 to $179.50, respectively, plus tax. The raisins are sold only on the website, www.drunkenraisins.com.
