Ways to Avoid Getting a Hangover

When it comes to drinking alcohol, there is always an after-effect, and one of the most dreaded ones are the hangovers. Everyone hates the banging feeling they have in their heads and how everything seems brighter, and louder than it actually is. Fear not, there are many ways you can avoid getting a hangover, and it’s not even that hard. Do these tricks, and enjoy having fun without having to face the headaches in the morning.

Eat Before or While Drinking

This trick is almost common sense to those who are used to drinking alcohol. The fact is, when you drink alcohol with an empty stomach, you might experience a severe case of acid reflux which makes you more vulnerable to alcohol intoxication. You will also become extremely dehydrated from all the vomiting caused by the rising acid reflux. Your hangover won’t only be headaches, but it will also involve heartburns.

Try to have a meal around an hour before you go heavy drinking. It is also advisable to have snacks in between drinking, which is why bars usually serve knick-knacks like peanuts and pretzels. You should also consider eating after you drink alcohol since it will trigger acid reflux that can be cured with a small meal.

Drink Water

Drinking alcohol tends to dehydrate your body, which is why when you start to feel tipsy you’d also start feeling thirsty. The solution to when you start feeling thirsty is not to drink more alcohol straight away but to sip small amounts of water first. This way, you won’t get sloppy drunk, but you’ll have that fun buzz all night instead. In addition to drinking water between drinking alcohol, you should also drink water the morning after. Your body will be very dehydrated by then, and it will prevent you from feeling a headache later during the day.

Shake it Off

This trick is for when you feel like you’re already very tipsy and borderline drunk. If you just sit or stand without moving much, the alcohol will get into your system faster and make you nauseous faster too. When you’ve felt the buzz from the alcohol, you should immediately start moving. Usually, dancing will do the trick just fine. It will help you from feeling dizzy, and you might even find yourself feeling sober rather than drunk.

Sleep Right After

It isn’t recommended to stay awake for long after you’ve drunk lots of alcohol. Your body will get tired, and if you don’t sleep, your hangover will be much worse. It can even turn into the flu or a cold since your immune system won’t be as strong if you don’t give your body the proper rest that it deserves. After you’re done for the night, have a small meal and drink some water, and then tuck in for bed. You’ll wake up feeling like you haven’t drunk at all last night.
