Step 1
Avoid mixing pop or fruit juice with alcoholWhen it comes to preventing a hangover, time seems to be the best cure. Most of the things people have told you are false. The first thing to avoid in order to prevent hangovers is not to mix any kind of carbonated drinks with alcohol; also avoid any fruit juices mixed in alcohol because the sugar can help the alcohol reach your bloodstream quicker and it can make you become dehydrated faster.

Step 2
Eat potatoesEating before you consume alcohol will definitely help to reduce the chance of a hangover. Try eating potatoes before drinking alcohol because they contain flavonoids which can help reduce hangover symptoms; some say eating boiled potatoes prior to consuming alcohol allows them to drink more but not feel the effects as much.

Step 3
If you are going to be drinking vodka, do not mix it with fruit drinks, energy drinks or anything containing carbonation or you will get dehydrated quicker which will give you a hangover.

Step 4
Drink a lot of fluids like waterYou are better off just doing shots and chasing it with at least 6 ounces of water. Just remember to eat first, and with every beer you consume; drink 6 to 8 ounces of plain water and the odds of getting a hangover will be slim to none.
