Hangovers
13 Answers
How do you prevent a hangover as apose to curing one! I'm not a big big drinker but like to enjoy myself and get a bit 'merry' - but I always seem to start feeling a bit rough whilst I'm still out. Is there anything I can do/take before I head out apart from the old 'glass of milk' trick? Anyone got any good tips for me? Thanks in advance!

Hangovers are caused by dehydration, and I once read somewhere (from memory!!) that you have to drink 3 pints of water to every pint of lager in order not to feel the effects of alcohol at all. Even I can't manage that one.
If you're not a heavy drinker then drinking lots of water throughout the day will sort you out for the evening ahead.

A glass of milk is a good idea as it lines the stomach, so does mashed potato, or a good vegetable soup (looks the same coming back up too!!) Or, drink Orange juice before boozing as it retains the vitamin c in your body.
Sweet tasting mixers with spirits helps the alcohol get into the bloodstream quicker too, so avoid those if you can and don't mix - eg. wines and beer, or spirits with wine. A chaser can be okay after a couple of beers but not too many....failing that just have a good fry-up the next morning and you're sorted!!
