It’s a familiar scenario: After an evening of fun and festivities, you wake up in the morning with a pounding headache, nausea, and a general sense of malaise. A hangover can seriously affect your mood and productivity, but luckily there are some steps you can take to avoid this uncomfortable feeling. This article will take an in-depth look at effective hangover avoidance methods so you can enjoy festive occasions responsibly.
Tips to avoid a hangover
1. Drink met mate
You do not only drink in sizes, but also in moderation. One of the most obvious, but most important, steps to avoid a hangover is to drink less.
2. Stay hydrated
Alcohol has a dehydrating effect on the body. Alternate alcoholic drinks with water to stay hydrated. Drink a large glass of water before bed to compensate for fluid loss and reduce the risk of a hangover.
3. Eat before and during drinking
A hearty meal before drinking can help slow down the absorption of alcohol and lessen its impact on your body. While drinking, continue to eat light snacks to support alcohol breakdown and keep your blood sugar stable.
4. Choose your drinks wisely
Some drinks, such as darker alcoholic drinks like red wine, whiskey and tequila, contain more congeners — chemicals that contribute to hangovers. Lighter drinks like white wine, vodka, and gin tend to have fewer congeners and may therefore be a better choice if you want to avoid a hangover.
5. Avoid carbonated drinks
Carbonated drinks, such as champagne, mixed drinks and beer, can speed up the absorption of alcohol, leading to faster intoxication and possibly a more severe hangover. Consider choosing non-carbonated drinks to reduce the risk of a hangover.
6. Use supplements and vitamins
Don’t be blinded by this, but it makes sense that you miss certain substances due to a little too much alcohol. For example, a vitamin b12 deficiency is a well-known phenomenon among alcoholics. Some research suggests that certain supplements and vitamins, such as vitamin B complex, vitamin C, and magnesium, may help reduce the harmful effects of alcohol on the body.
7. Listen to your body
It is essential to listen to your body’s signals. If you find yourself feeling light-headed or unwell, it’s time to stop drinking. Listening to your body can help you avoid a hangover. If you do wake up with a hangover, don’t forget to get a good rest, stay hydrated, and listen to what your body needs. Hungry when you wake up? Hangover food: these are the do’s and don’ts.
