How to prevent and cure a hangover?
Answers:
If we were all sensible, we would avoid hangovers by not drinking at all! But what would be the fun in that? So here are some tips to keep you feeling bright and breezy the morning after the night before.
- Eat before you go out. To keep that hangover at bay, you should eat loads before you get your glad rags on and go to that party. On this occasion only, a fatty meal is beneficial - as fat is digested slowly, and will protect the stomach from the irritating effects of alcohol. A glass of fatty milk slows down the absorption of alcohol.
- Lighten up
Avoid drinks that contain large amounts of 'congeners', as these tend to cause severe hangovers. Generally these are dark coloured drinks such as red wine, brandy, and port. Have some soft drinks too.
And if you have water between each alcoholic tipple, you'll drink less booze and ultimately have a less severe hangover.
But alcohol is also very dehydrating (this is the main cause of a hangover headache) so if you drink water between vodkas you'll be more hydrated and less likely to wake up with a splitting headache.
