When you come home after a night of heavy boozing, just chug an entire liter of water before you go to bed. It prevents the worst part of the hangover, headaches, which are just from dehydration.
This used to work for me but these days the only way it works is if I pace myself with a big glass of water in between each alcoholic drink. The "chug a liter before bed" only somewhat helps now, but barely.
This also should be the norm. It doesn't even reduce your drunkness, just makes it more enjoyable and less unconfortable
My trick is to eat an asian pear before drinking. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23587660/
Damn that's pretty cool. Wonder how their ethical committee responded. Does it affect the drunkenness?
I dont drink often anymore, and not heavily, just a few glasses of wine or a beer or two. I don't feel like the pear affects the high at all. Maybe I don't get hungover because I don't drink enough, but I like to credit the pear.
Some good kebab helps too, probably due to the fat and salt, but water over kebab, if you have to choose.
kebab will always be my top choice, unless shawarma is also an option
Yeah, I find having something to eat helps too.
Could be a double edged sword, just make sure you don’t miscalculate and end up with “twice the taste no calories”.
When I was younger and drank more I did this, and it sure helps with hard liquor.
When you're drunk that big glass of water can be hard to get down, but do it anyway.
