How To Avoid A Hangover

1. Eat before you drink. It doesn't really matter what you eat, just don't go out all night on an empty stomach. If you do you are asking for nothing but trouble in the morning. 

2.  Drink plenty of water: Even during the night have a glass of water between drinks. Not only will it slow you down on the drinking but will also help you stay hydrated during the night.

3. Avoid salt.  Salt makes you feel thirstier. Thirstier people tend to drink more, and drinking more tends to result in hangovers.

4. Avoid dark drinks and wine: this has something to do with impurities and congeners. I'm no scientist but I know for a fact a wine hangover has got to be one of the most painful things in life. Personally, I'd rather have a broken leg than a wine hangover....


5. Replace lost nutrients: In plain English, stay hydrated, drink a Gatorade.

6. Take an aspirin before you pass out.

7. Don’t drink alcohol when you wake up: if you do you might have a problem...(always thought beer and cheerios was a joke.)
