How to Avoid a Hangover

After another killer hangover over the weekend, we figure it’s time for a refresher on how to avoid them:

• Obviously, moderation is key. Our years of drinking have taught us that there’s no hangover cure like not drinking too much the night before.
• Our acupuncturist recommends drinking vodka over wine (presumably Champagne, too.)
• Don’t drink on an empty stomach – even if that means having a little nibble before you head to the party or dinner.
• Mixing booze is a recipe for disaster.
• Stop drinking at least an hour before you go to bed. Your body doesn’t have a shot at processing the alcohol while you’re asleep.
• Don’t drink and drive (not related to hangovers, but bears mentioning all the same).
• Have a glass of water between each drink- dehydration exacerbates a hangover big time!
