You can’t keep a “looksmaxxer” down.

Braden Peters, aka Clavicular, headlined a club opening in Miami Beach Wednesday night, just hours after being released from the hospital for a suspected overdose.

The influencer, part of the community of people who alter their appearance often to the extreme to go viral, teased the promotional appearance at Bacara on his social media.

Peters (whose handle means pertaining to the collarbone) looked no worse for wear despite a harrowing experience at Mary Brickell Village the day before.

Recap: The New Jersey native was in the middle of a Kick livestream with some pals at the outdoor mall when he began looking woozy and slurring his words. The livestream cuts away as he’s slumped in a booth at Blue Martini; a subsequent clip shows him being carried down the stairs into a waiting SUV.

On Wednesday morning, Peters posted a rough-looking selfie with red marks across his face, claiming they were from “a life support mask.”

“Just got home, that was brutal,” wrote the Sacred Heart University dropout, admitting to taking “substances” to make him feel “neurotypical,” aka normal while out in public.

At Bacara, in the old Gala space on 23rd Street, Peters was sober as a judge, or so he said.

In Kick footage reshared on TikTok page @clipsfye, Peters poses on the red carpet outside the venue in a gray suit as cameras flash.

Inside Peters is seen on stage with “Respect My Cryppin’ “ rapper Blueface, who performs in front of a packed house amid loud beats, smoke machines and flashing lights.

At one point in a Kick clip, the 20-year-old was asked about his health, and he reported he was not only fine, but sober, and “watermaxxing,” aka imbibing H20.

“No drinking, no substances,” said Peters. “Pure good vibes. Tonight I’m on nothing. I don’t plan on being on anything for the foreseeable future.”

It’s unclear what substances Peters was taking Tuesday in Brickell, but something definitely knocked the kid for a loop.

In the comments of the initial post touting the Bacara event, some commenters were concerned and sent their advice.

“Young man,” wrote one. “God is giving you another chance ... Please turn from the lifestyle of drugs, God has a greater purpose and a greater calling for you. If not, the devil is going to try to take you out before your time.”
