how to avoid hangovers
 

Read an article on how to avoid hangovers. Here's two of the less obvious I found interesting.



Nix the diet mixers
It's a good way to keep calorie counts low, but using diet soda as a mixer with your liquor can make you drunk faster. A study published in the American Journal of Medicine in 2006 showed that alcohol entered the bloodstream about 15 minutes more quickly?creating a higher blood-alcohol level?when it was mixed with an artificially sweetened drink instead of one that contained sugar. So save your calories elsewhere if you want to help save yourself from a hangover.

Use the proper painkiller
It's tempting to pop a few pills before passing out in the hopes of avoiding waking up to a nasty headache. But just make sure you're reaching for the right bottle. Acetaminophen, such as Tylenol, should not be taken after you've had a few drinks. "When acetaminophen is metabolized in the liver, one of the byproducts is actually a toxic compound," explains Swift. The liver normally handles it just fine, he assures, but having alcohol in your system exhausts the liver's ability to remove this toxic byproduct. "And if the liver can't get rid of it, it can build up and cause liver damage," he says. The better choice: Take a couple of aspirin or ibuprofen (like Advil) instead, washed down with a large glass of water.

I also think that if you drink on an empty stomach you will have a worse hangover than if you eat some food with the drink.

Eat something and drink more water.

I try and chug a large Gatorade before heading to bed... that seems to help tremendously.

Drink your booze straight and it will eliminate hangovers.

A bacon egg and cheese with a gatorade will cure a hangover.

As far as prevention, drinking lots of fluid before bed will help -- but that's a trade off between being less hungover, and waking up in a bed full of piss.

drink 1.5 glasses of water for every standard drink you have. you'll wake up fine.

single drinkers should know that dark alcohols cause them more than clear ones.
Some of the chemicals in mixers will also do it, so stick to natural additions.

Just keep drinking! no hangovers then

put down the bud wiser and pick up some bud

Agreed! :thumbsup This is what we do!

don't drink.

The easiest way to avoid hangover is not to drink :)

know your limits and stay hydrated

the only times i've had a hangover is when i didnt pound water before going out, during and after a drinking night out....


water is key!

1. Eat something before you drink. Particularly something that soaks up booze. Like pizza.
2. Drink one beer, one water, and keep doing the trade off all night (1.5 h2o for hard liq).
3. Take vitamin supplement, and particularly B6, and B12. Also eat bananas for potassium.
4. Take an aspirin based pain killer before bed. Like Motrin or Advil.

Obviously, if you have to make use of all these tricks, you are drinking too much. So you should stick to number five...

5. Don't drink.

Good tips

also, don't drink cheap vodka and other cheap liquors, it's worth the extra money to get the better stuff and not feel like as bad the next day.

Eat before you drink and don't mix.don't pound back a variety of shooters.never had a hangover

If you've never had a hangover you've never been out drinking, pussies.

:):):thumbsup

:2 cents:...

Minutes before hitting the bar I eat a spoon of olive oil... that usually helps.

this is a test, k thanks

Before you go to bed: Drink two big glasses of water. Then, mix 3 eggs, stick a finger up your ass, drink the eggs, then smell the finger -> will make you puke and empty your stomach.

Try it and post pics here while doing it :D

Thanks for the tips, they might come in handy. :thumbsup As for me, I try drinking natural booze, none of that pill-made alcohol you find in shops and I never ever had a hangover. True story.
