What's the best way to avoid a hangover?!


Question: What's the best way to avoid a hangover!?
please don't say "Don't drink!" that is pretty much the lamest answer ever!!Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Personally, I just drink about 1 glass of water per drink I had (more if I was doing shots) right before I go to bed!.

Oh and don't drink 7/8 of a 26er of Absolute (40% proof) half a bottle of premixed cosmopolitans (15% I think) and about 4 random shots while eating nothing but frozen appetizers! It's just not a good combination!

Some people swear by greasy food the next day!. Other say a couple advil in the morning does the trick!. I've heard vomiting helps but that's not a fun solution!. Some people say getting high while drinking helps but I've heard more people say it makes it worse and I would not recommend mixing drugs and alcohol (including caffeine)!.

And remember:

"Beer before liquor makes you sicker; liquor before beer your in the clear!."Www@FoodAQ@Com

For anyone it's best to drink a lot of water during drinking!. Since most people don't do this then when you wake up with a hangover first drink water, eat some eggs as this contains a chemical that helps to break down Acetaldehyde (ethanol)!. Ethanol and chemical by products are what create your hangover!. However dehydration is also another factor!. Stay away from aspirin which is a common misconception as aspirin shrinks red blood cells!. This essentially can make your hangover worse because the red blood cells shrink then expand slowing blood flow!. Take a B-12 complex this helps with the anxiety and nerve issues associated with hangovers!. Sadly enough the best cure for a hangover is time!. The only solution is Vikadin, and other related chemicals while you are hungover!.


If you are really hurting bad and you don't have medications or the ability to tolerate the hangover more alcohol always helps but only puts off the hangover because eventually you will have to face it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, the lamest answer is the best answer, as it happens!. However, an alternative is to drink two glasses of water for each bottle of beer or each highball -- and run a humidifier in the room in which you sleep!. A major cause of severe hangovers is dehydration!. If you feel that you have to drink regularly to the point of getting drunk and having a severe hangover, face it, this is one of the symptoms of alcoholism!. Trust me!. I worked for many years as a psychiatric R!.N!. with alcoholics and addicts!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Well, you took out the best way!.

The second-best way is to eat, and drink plenty of water, while drinking alcohol!. And, of course, don't drink LOTS of booze!. The food cushions the effects, and the water helps cut own dehydration (a lot of the effects of a hangover are from the dehydration that alcohol causes)!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

It's also the most obvious answer!. If you don't want a hangover, don't drink or learn your limits!. Only have a drink an hour, or pay attention when your body tells you to stop!.

Melissa!.!.!.you NEVER mix medication and alcohol!. Aspirin thins the blood and so does alcohol, that's an easy way to land yourself in the hospital or the morgue!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Drink about 2-3 pints of water, take 3 aspirin and a vitamin
C before you go to bed and get a solid 7-8 hrs of sleep if possible!. Or drink water while you drink alcohol!. The reason you get a hang over is because alcohol dehydrates your body especially your brain!. I agree the lamest answer is don't drink!. I love to go out and drink, you only get to be in your 20's once!.!.!.!.!.!.!. right!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Two Tablets of RoseOx from Herbalife, contains Rosemary and Oxtail herbs, along with carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, etc etc foods only, with some food just before bed next day, work as usual except dont drive you might be drunk still!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Make sure that you eat a filling meal with carbs before you start drinking!. Take some vitamin c or emergen-c with a big glass of water before you go out!.
drinking water in between drinks keeps you hydrated (dehydration causes headaches in the morning! so literally drink a lot of water!)
And if you still feel crappy in the morning,
eat a banana and take vitamins!. You need to replenish your body so drink juices water etc!.
Party Hard!Www@FoodAQ@Com

I chug 2 big glasses of water before going to sleep after a night of partying, and sometimes even 3!. and yesss, you might wanna pee like crazy later on, but you're freakin drunk! what's new!?

You might wake up with a minor headache that only lasts 15-30 mins depending on how much u drank the night before, but chugging water before crashing out is the most effective way for me!.

lol what's up with everyone being so politically correct with their "omgz don't drink itz bad" B!.S!. It's like they want a pat on the back for being soooo responsible!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Drink slowly and avoid drinking shots, and mixed drinks containing several shots!. If you over do it, drink lots of fluids the next day!. V-8 juice seems to work well and plenty of water!.
Avoid pain releivers like Tylenol or Ibuprophen!. These can be severely damaging to your liver and other organs in combination with alcohol!. Regular aspirin will work well!.!.Please don't drive when you go out!. Have fun!Www@FoodAQ@Com

Don't drink! It may be a lame answer but it's the truth!. Drinking is bad for you, it limits your abilities to do anything, it is so lame to drink and if you get drunk and you drive you could get into an accident and get hurt or someone else!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Eat before you start drinking!.

Try to avoid mixing different types of alcohol during the same night!. i!.e!. wine, alcohol and beer in the same night!.

Pace yourself!.

And I usually stick with Vodka based drinks and have never had a problem the next morning!.

This is just my opinion though and what has worked for me!. Hope it helps!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Sleep in really late, this is after your big night by the way!.
Then stay in bed for ages!.
Don't turn on the lights, don't open the curtains, pretty much don't let any light in!.
Then after about two hours you should be right to get up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Drink lots of water before bed, take an aspirin in the morning and have a quick mimosa (orange juice and champagne) in the morning! also, greasy food always seems to help!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

So what if you've only been drunk 5 times in your life!. That is 5 times more than I have and I bet I'm twice your age, or more!. Don't drink is still the BEST answer!. You may think it's lame, but that shows how ignorant you are!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
