Stay hydrated

To avoid a hangover, it is very important to stay hydrated while drinking alcohol. A tip is to alternate alcoholic drinks with glasses of water, which will help counteract the dehydrating effects of alcohol and keep you hydrated throughout the evening.

In addition, drinking a glass of water before bed can help you replenish fluids and prevent dehydration. Consider adding electrolytes to your water, such as a pinch of salt or a drop of lemon juice, to boost rehydration and reduce the chance of a hangover.

Consume food

Eating before and during alcohol consumption can play a crucial role in preventing hangovers. A tip is to include foods rich in nutrients that support alcohol metabolism, such as eggs, asparagus, and bananas.
