Avoid Alcohol Poisoning

Any great night out can be instantly ruined when you've got a morning hangover to cope with. In this article we'll give you some tips to follow so that you can drink the night away and still come out hangover-free.

Listen to what your body says, know how much is enough and how much is too much. After that warm comfortable buzz arrives, stop drinking. Hangovers are experienced by 75% of people. That means 25% of people have learned when to say enough and stop drinking. Taking it very slow can prevent the point of total alcohol oblivion.

The symptoms of a hangover occur because the body becomes dehydrated from the alcohol, so be sure to drink plenty of water. Mixing alcoholic drinks with water and drinking plain water between beverages aids in staving off the dehydration. Eating fruits, or blending fruits with the alcohol is also a pleasant way to stay well hydrated.

It also helps to have a sizable meal before you drink or while you're drinking, this will stop your body from absorbing some of the alcohol. This makes your body more resistant to a hangover, meaning you won't wake up with a pounding head in the morning. It also makes you feel full, meaning you're less likely to drink too much.

Bypass the concentrated or hard alcohol. Hangover symptoms match the alcohol consumption, excessive or hard alcohol will equal a worse hangover. Water down the straight whiskey on the rocks, it cuts the concentration in half. Mix your rum with coke, instead of asking for it neat.

Also, darker alcohol is more likely to cause a hangover as compared to light or clear alcohol. For instance, a drink with vodka or gin is a better choice than whiskey or rum when trying to avoid a hangover. Carbonated mixers will increase the alcohol absorption, instead opt for non-carbonated.

Changing out your alcohol choice can cause nausea, so don't mix your drinks. Mixing your drinks also causes hangovers the next day.

If you set out on your evening of drinking with a good attitude, you're probably going to be in better control of the alcohol you consume, and this can help you avoid a hangover. In contrast, if you go out to drink while you're upset or depressed, you may drink a lot more than you intended, and that means a nasty hangover will be waiting for you the next morning.

Just remember, no matter how much fun you had the night before a bad hangover can sour those memories. So know your limits!
