Preventing a Hangover

If you've ever had a hangover, you know it's something worth avoiding. Simple steps can help you make a full recovery in the morning. Remember to keep the ibuprofen handy just in case!

Stick with Clear Liquors
Dark liquors have cogeners which are shown to cause hangover symptoms. Stick with vodka, light rum, and white wine. The amount of cogeners in beer varies depending on the type of beer it is. Dark beers will have more cogeners.

Eat
Eating before and during the consumption of alcohol slows the absorption process. Cake and pastries should do the trick.

Drink Water
Alcohol dehydrates you. Dehydration is what causes that pounding headache in the morning. Drink plenty before and during. A good rule of thumb is one glass of water per drink.
