7 Tips For Avoiding A Wine Hangover

How about teaming up your favorite meal with the best of wine this weekend? It sounds a great idea but don’t you think you may overindulge? Well, you may not mind this but what about the hangover you have to face, the next morning. How about spending your entire Sunday afternoon sitting inside the bathroom, with one hand on your forehead and the other on your stomach? Scary isn’t it?

Hey, hold on! I am not trying to scare the life out of you. I am just showing you the real picture of a hangover that you may need to face the following day after you have overindulged in your favorite wine.

This sounds really bad but don’t worry, there are many tips you can follow in order to get rid of a wine hangover. All you need to do is to follow the tips below:

a) Water, water and water:
Water is the key to getting over the wine hangover. Drink plenty of it. Alcohol has a tendency to dehydrate your body.  This is the main reason that most hangover sufferers end up taking in a lot of liquids in the form of plain water, lemon water, coffee and black tea without having to use the bathroom once. If you want to stay away from the temptation of overindulging in wine, the best way is to have a glass of water for each glass of wine have.

b) Binge in:
Sounds great! Believe me, it really works. Eat your favorite meal or some snacks an hour before a drink. The fullness in your stomach will keep you from drinking too much too fast. The meal or snack should include bread or pasta.

c) No prescription drugs:
Yeah, we all know alcohol and prescription drug don't mix well, but some people just insist on combining them for an increased buzz on less alcohol to get a cheap thrill.  This is what we call FELONY STUPID.  DON'T DO IT!  It will only damage your body.  Drink less if you really want to save money.

d) Milk:
Drink a glass of milk prior to consuming wine. This will provide a protection coat to your stomach and helps you absorb the alcohol in the wine.

e) No salt:
Salt will prove dangerous as it tends to maximize the process of dehydration. You should stay away from salt even if you're having margarita.

f) An aspirin:
An aspirin will help you to cure a headache. Avoid taking ibuprofen or paracetamol. These medicines usually have adverse effects on the body especially after the consumption of wine.

g) Avoid dark drinks:
Mixing red wine and whiskey in your stomach may seem like a good idea at the time, but consider that when you usually make that decision you've already been drinking and your judgement is a bit impaired.  You should mix whiskey with soda or water. Avoid mixing it with cola and tonic.  And wine.  Bad things, man.  Bad things.
