Preventing Hangovers

Don’t drink Alcohol on an Empty Stomach.

Eat some meal before party. Eating little and often while drinking alcohol is also beneficial.

Stick to One Kind of Drink

Mixing a lot of types of alcohol is not a good idea.

Avoid Carbonation

The bubbles speed up the rate of absorption, so better mix alcohol with juices and try to avoid carbonated drinks while drinking alcohol.

Drink lots of Fluids

Drink a lot of water or juice during the party. Drink  few glasses of water before you go to sleep and you’ll fell much better in the morning. It is also good to drink a cup of green tea.

Be Physically Active

As for me, I feel much better after dancing all night rather than just sitting and drinking in the pub.

Know your Limits

You should know your approximate tolerance level for alcohol. Set a maximum number of drinks for the evening, and once you reach it, drink only water or juice.

Drinks

Of course, as I mentioned, knowing your limits is always important, but there are some drinks, which should be consumed only in a small portions. Red wine, dark rum, sherry, brandy are high in congeners ( Congeners are toxic chemicals that are formed during fermentation, they are widely responsible for headaches. ) Beer is in between, mostly depending on how dark it is.

It may help..

-Your mood. If you are depressed while drinking you may have really bad morning..

- Chew 5 to 6 raw almonds before you start drinking. It’s the American Indians way to prevent intoxication.

- Put a teaspoon of bifidus powder in a glass of water and drink before going to bed. Bifidus is the “friendly” bacteria that detoxifies acetaldehyde, a digestive byproduct of alcohol that is a major cause of hangovers.

- Eating peanut butter before drinking is an African remedy.

- Take one tablet of activated charcoal per drink while you are drinking. The charcoal absorbs the impurities in the alcohol which are the cause of the hangover.

Curing Hangovers

If you didn’t succeed in preventing it..

- Eat chicken soup.

- One of the quickest ways to cure a hangover is to make a banana milkshake sweetened with honey. The banana helps calm the stomach, and with the honey, builds up the depleted blood sugar levels.

- Apples eaten on an empty stomach the day after drinking is an effective remedy.

- A cup of tea with lemon.

- Vitamin C stimulates the liver to break down the alcohol. So eat fresh fruits, which contains much of it.

- Drink Thyme, Ginger or Peppermint tea.

- Go for a walk in a fresh air. Physical activity also works.
