How to Prevent a Hangover

It‒s that time of year again we have hangovers and want to cure them.

Of course, you should not drink to excess in the first place but if you do, here are some proven methods that will work to cure your hangover fast.

Had too many drinks? Mixed them, soft (wine) and hard (whisky) at the same meal. Your head is splitting; you have nausea, a dry mouth, are dizzy, and can’t get out of bed?

That’€™s a division 1 hangover. How do you cure it? Read on.

What is a hangover?

The hangover above is caused by the combination toxic by-products after the metabolism of alcohol (in this case, the toxin is acetaldehyde) and it’s not a pleasant feeling!

Added to this are dehydration, and depletion of Vitamins A, B (particularly B6) and C brought about by the chemical action of alcohol in your body.

You are now suffering the effects of a mild overdose of a depressant drug, and your nerves in a hangover state are only reacting to it.

So in addition to all the above, you are also depressed and feeling low!

Some Preventive Measures (Prevention is also the cure)

Firstly, don’€™t drink on an empty stomach, ever. Always eat as you drink, and always something oily, including oil or butter by themselves.

This is an old trick from girls who don’t wish to get drunk at parties. 5 teaspoons of olive oil before drinking!

If you are still conscious as you are about to sleep, have a large glass of water or two.

These glasses of water can solve the dehydration problems caused by the drinking.

Also be sure and take painkillers with Ibuprofen being the one to go for not, aspirin! Aspirin will nothing for you or your hangover.

Waking up is really difficult, and you need something to help.

You won’€™t feel like eating or drinking anything, but if you are really up to it, try.

The Red Eye.

It’s not the most pleasant taste, but is known to really help and cure hangovers fast.

To make the Red Eye mix in a blender some whiskey, fresh coffee, some Tabasco sauce, a raw egg, pepper and orange juice.

It’s really an acquired taste to put it mildly!

If you can drink it and keep it down, you will feel normal in about 15 minutes.

If you are really brave, and really sick, try the Black Mary.

Here you mix coffee, tonic water, honey and orange juice.

This is equally an unpleasant taste just like the Red Eye but most people agree it works faster.

And agreeing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, then follow the following guidelines.

1. No mixed drinks.

If you drink hard liquor, drink it straight or with ice. No soft drinks or juices with it. These mixers will serve to get you drunk more quickly, and add a great deal more of toxic material for your body to rid itself of the next morning.

2. Drinking means no dairy products at the same time. No milk, cheese, ice-cream and cream sauces.

These are the vomit agents! Stay away from them.

3. Remember only time (and metabolism) sobers you. Coffee, fresh air, walking, and so on, does nothing at all to rid you of the toxic materials that cause a hangover.

4. Do not mix low alcoholic drinks (wine for example) with high alcoholic ones. Mixing these will get you drunk very quickly and sicker the next day. Stick to low or high, but do not mix. Remember this rule.

We all know we shouldn’t drink to much but if you want to prevent a hangover or cure one quickly, the above will work and work fast.

How TO Avoid A Hangover

How to Prevent Alcohol Related Hangovers

Nearly everyone who drinks alcohol has at one time or another has experienced the dreaded hangover. I for one had enough of them and decided to do my own research on how to avoid them altogether while still being able to have a good time. In this article I will show you many of the most effective ways to prevent hangovers altogether while still being able to have a great time. First, as I mentioned in my article on the causes of a hangover, some of the main causes of a hangover are due to dehydration, drinking too much too fast, mixing types of drinks and so on. Here we will go through the steps you can take in order to prevent or even eliminate these potential hangover-causing issues.

First, before you start drinking it is a good idea to make sure you have something to eat. By putting something in your stomach early on, it will help ‘dilute’ the alcohol that goes into your stomach which allows your body more time to effectively process the alcohol. If too much alcohol runs into your system too quickly, it will cause what I call an ‘alcohol metabolism overload’ as your body requires time in order to metabolize the alcohol. In addition to eating something, preferably dairy or fatty foods which can help prevent nausea, it is also recommended to take a couple all-natural anti-hangover supplements such as Chasers with your first drink. These supplements naturally absorb the toxins which help cause hangovers the next day. So the more you absorb, the less you have to deal with. What an amazing innovation!

While drinking it is important to remember to hydrate yourself. Drink a glass of water after each drink. Just down a glass. How inconvenient is it really? It will save you from lots of potential problems if you just drink water continuously. Also, stick to lighter or clearer-looking drinks. Those have less fermentation by-products usually found in darker types of alcohol as well as cheap liquor. The by-products, or congeners, in this stuff can really help cause really nasty hangovers. Next, try to keep in mind a little moderation. On average, a normal human body can really only process one drink an hour. So if you are pounding several an hour, your body will most likely not be able to metabolize it all quick enough. However, there are exceptions such as some individuals who have larger amounts of the enzymes that can break down alcohol in their stomach, in addition to the liver. In addition to all of this, mixing different types of drinks can also contribute to hangovers. There are many different ways this sort of drinking can contribute to hang overs, mixing carbonated drinks with stronger, non-carbonated drinks can assist in your hangover as carbonated drinks speed up ones metabolism. Harder alcohol takes a lot longer to process that that of a light beer. It takes the body a while to adjust to the different types and if is going to quickly, it will try process the harder liquor as if it were something lighter which will leave it partially unprocessed which can lead to nausea and other bad things. In addition to carbonated drinks, switching to sweeter, stronger drinks after drinking lighter drinks can give a person the impression that it is easier to go down so they pound that, too, just as quickly. Ouch. Be aware of what you are drinking and try to practice moderation. Before going to bed, remember to drink some more water and possibly vitamin B12, which is oftentimes depleted as your body processes alcohol which also causes grogginess and other symptoms. There are many more items to consider when attempting to avoid a hangover and more details can be found at our website. But, overall this should give you a good head start towards avoiding a costly hangover.
