5 Quick and Easy Tips To Prevent That Next Hangover
Remember after the last party waking up with the feeling of
cotton in your mouth? With it came a swirling headache that
turned into jungle drums. On top of it all, your stomach kept
playing at acrobatics for hours. It kind of felt like your body
was having a carnival, without you, right?
That's the effect a hangover can have if you drink too much,
mix liquors, or if you're not used to drinking much at all.
Alcohol poisoning is no fun, although events leading up to it
may be. Before heading out with your pals to the next swinging
party or celebration, keep the following tips in mind so you
won't have to deal with the leftover sick feeling late at night
or the next day.
1. Eat before you go. Munch on a few crackers, a sandwich, or
even a salad to get something in your stomach before drinking
alcoholic beverages. Drinking on an empty stomach is a sure-fire
way to get drunk fast and pollute your bodily systems. While at
your place of imbibing, remember to nibble on something to eat
from time to time to keep your stomach from getting empty. This
will help your digestive tract to process the alcohol more
effectively.
2. Take it easy. Don't chug your liquor. Sip on it, nice and
slow. This will help you enjoy its effects rather than be rushed
into inebriation. Take in all the party enjoyments, such as
music, companionship, food, and more. Liquor should accent
rather than dominate your party experience. Keep an eye on the
clock and
pace your drinking so you don't lose track of how many
you have.
3. Stop in good time. Don't guzzle all night long. Know your
limit, and stop when you reach it. Don't let anyone talk you
into drinking more than you should. Never be drawn into
competition with other drinkers, or you could end up in deep
trouble if they drink long and hard.
4. Don't mix liquors. Starting with beer and moving to mixed
drinks, and from there, to whiskey, is a bad idea. With varying
alcohol levels and uneven textures, your stomach could really
get upset. Stay with one or maybe two types at most, the lower
strength, the better. You can always try another kind the next
time you go out. 5. Stay away from bootleg. You never really
know what you're getting in terms of strength, quality, or
potency. If you're with people you don't know very well and
black out, you could face serious problems. Even among friends,
though, bootleg can vary from one batch to another, so it's best
to stay away from it altogether.
Plan to get at least eight hours of sleep after the
celebration. This will give your body time to metabolize the
liquor, and you may be able to sleep off most of its effects.
Drink a little bit at a time, eat sensibly while you're at it,
and go home in plenty of time to get some rest.
