Avoiding A Holiday Hangover

If you've ever suffered through a hangover, it's probably something you'd like to avoid repeating! There are ways you can "toast" the season without feeling like "toast" the next day.
"The key thing is, first of all, drink in moderation," said Neurologist Dr. Susan Broner.
That means limiting alcohol to one or two drinks. Dr. Broner suggests spread them out by alternating your cocktails with alcohol-free ones.
"So that you're actually drinking much, first of all, not as much, and also at a slower rate," said Dr. Broner.
Taking time to enjoy party foods also helps slow the flow of alcohol.
"If you eat something like greasy foods, there's foods with a lot of fat in them, they tend to slow the absorption of alcohol so you tend to have less of a peak effect of the alcohol and less of an alcohol withdrawal," Dr. Broner.
dehydration is another contributor to hangover misery. so drink water and juices, but avoid caffeinated drinks.
"Because caffeine can also dehydrate you. So sort of steering clear of the colas and teas and coffees," said Dr. Broner.
