How to Prevent Hangover???

How to Prevent Hangover???
If you want to know how to prevent hangover???, then you are the right place. Here are some steps which will help you to prevent hangover and escape embarrassment.
  1. Drink water : Alternating alcoholic beverages with glasses of water can help you control the amount of alcohol you have and the speed with which you drink it. This is because as the night wears on, you become thirsty and so drink at a quicker rate than you did at the start. At home, make sure you’ve had at least a pint of water before you go to bed.
  2. Milk thistle: Milk thistle is a herbal medicine that’s thought to boost liver function. The theory is you take it before you go out as well as the day after, and it helps your liver to process alcohol faster. It’s not a miracle cure and its effects on hangover aren’t proven, but it may make symptoms more bearable. You can buy milk thistle in liquid and tablet form.
  3. Keep it light: Toxic chemicals called congeners contribute to hangovers. They are produced when alcohol ferments, with more found in dark drinks like red wine and brandy. The Royal Society of Chemistry advises you to stick to gin or vodka because they are purified by distillation, but light coloured drinks can still cause hangovers. Quantity is key: if you drink a bottle of white wine (three large glasses), you won’t feel great the next day.
  4. Go easy on the champers: The bubbles in champagne make you light-headed faster than the same amount of still wine. A British study compared the effects of flat and fizzy champagne on the same group of people. It found they had higher levels of alcohol in their blood after drinking the fizzy stuff. It’s thought the carbon dioxide in the bubbles speeds the delivery of alcohol to your system.
  5. Avoid caffeine: Avoid coffee and tea. They don’t sober you up on the night, and while caffeine may give you a quick lift the next day, it also dehydrates and irritates your bowel. This can lead to loose stools and add to feelings of nausea and your woolly head – all of which will make your hangover seem worse.
