5 Quick and Easy Tips To Prevent That Next Hangover Remember after the last party waking up with the feeling ofcotton in your mouth? With it came a swirling headache thatturned into jungle drums. On top of it all, your stomach keptplaying at acrobatics for hours. It kind of felt like your bodywas 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 itmay be. Before heading out with your pals to the next swingingparty or celebration, keep the following tips in mind so youwon't have to deal with the leftover sick feeling late at nightor the next day.
1. Eat before you go. Munch on a few crackers, a sandwich, oreven a salad to get something in your stomach before drinkingalcoholic beverages. Drinking on an empty stomach is a sure-fireway to get drunk fast and pollute your bodily systems. While atyour place of imbibing, remember to nibble on something to eatfrom time to time to keep your stomach from getting empty. Thiswill help your digestive tract to process the alcohol moreeffectively.
2. Take it easy. Don't chug your liquor. Sip on it, nice andslow. This will help you enjoy its effects rather than be rushedinto inebriation. Take in all the party enjoyments, such asmusic, companionship, food, and more. Liquor should accentrather than dominate your party experience. Keep an eye on theclock and
pace your drinking so you don't lose track of how manyyou have.
3. Stop in good time. Don't guzzle all night long. Know yourlimit, and stop when you reach it. Don't let anyone talk youinto drinking more than you should. Never be drawn intocompetition with other drinkers, or you could end up in deeptrouble if they drink long and hard.
4. Don't mix liquors. Starting with beer and moving to mixeddrinks, and from there, to whiskey, is a bad idea. With varyingalcohol levels and uneven textures, your stomach could reallyget upset. Stay with one or maybe two types at most, the lowerstrength, the better. You can always try another kind the nexttime you go out. 5. Stay away from bootleg. You never reallyknow what you're getting in terms of strength, quality, orpotency. If you're with people you don't know very well andblack out, you could face serious problems. Even among friends,though, bootleg can vary from one batch to another, so it's bestto stay away from it altogether.
Plan to get at least eight hours of sleep after thecelebration. This will give your body time to metabolize theliquor, 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.
