How to Avoid a Hangover

One of the worst by-products of going out with your friends is the hang over (the things that you do when you are drunk are out of the scope of this article). In order to avoid this, which I would never personally suggest, don't drink. However; if you are going to drink, try to follow these simple rules and you will be less likely to get a hang over!

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Water
• Vitamin B
• A meal of some kind

1. Make sure that you eat something before you go out drinking. It doesn’t have to be a big meal but some kind of protein helps, I find chicken is the best but go with whatever sounds good to you.
2. Don’t mix alcohols! Yes it’s fun to go out and have beers with your friends and then have shots after you get all wasted. What isn’t fun are the little guys with big hammers the next morning trying to get out of your head.
3. I know it’s really hard but try to drink one 8oz glass of water for every alcoholic drink that you have. Despite what some people say you will get just as drunk. You just won’t hurt as much the next day!
4. Take vitamin B! It will help in so many ways you would be surprised. Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) calms your shaky nervous system, helps your weary body break down still-lurking alcohol, some Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) for your bloodshot eyes, some Vitamin B3 (Niacin) to break down the 3am pizza, some Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) for your cramping calves and some Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin) to get your blood pumping.
5. And always remember that any sleep you get while you are drunk you can’t count the first 2 hours at least to be actual sleep. That’s just you passed out. It’s usually not until you have woken up and stumbled to the bathroom first and then back to bed before you are truly sleeping!
