To prevent a hangover, it is necessary to drink water before drinking alcoholic beverages, and also alternate it with alcohol. Appropriate methods were named by National Health Service expert, hydration specialist Nick Hird, reports Express on December 27.
However, as Hird added, after the celebration, it is worth refraining from drinking plenty of water so that frequent trips to the toilet do not prevent the body from getting enough sleep. Otherwise, the condition in the morning will be much worse.
Also, the specialist advised not to mix alcohol with carbonated drinks, since they have a bad effect on the absorption of alcohol. In addition, coffee is highly dehydrating, he warned. According to Hird, the most important is the well-known rule – to eat while drinking alcohol.
If a hangover does occur, good sleep and exercise can help. To cope with nausea, you can make yourself a drink with ginger, the expert concluded.
On the eve of the experts stated that among alcoholic beverages the most severe hangover causes whiskey. The body’s reaction can be influenced by the intensity of the color of the drink: colorless alcohol is more easily tolerated. Thus, one of the factors affecting the deterioration of a person’s condition is various impurities that help to give color and taste to alcohol.
