How to Severely Decrease your Chance of Hangover

Read about it here, via Life Hacker.

This site breaks it down for you, what to eat before a drunk fest, during a drunk fest and the morning after. A lot of it is broken down in anticipation of the following:
1. Dehydration: This is the biggest factor. For every 30 ml of alcohol you drink you lose 200 ml of water. Dehydration can cause headaches and sickness even without alcohol.

2. Vitamin Burnout: Alcohol is, at its heart, a poison. Your body does a lot of work to remove that poison (that you just paid $6 to ingest) from your system. That work, mainly done by your liver, uses a lot of vitamins like vitamin B and Potassium that aren't available to you later. This can cause queasiness, tiredness and muscle cramps.

3. Toxins: Additives, preservatives and chemicals, from a night out drinking, build up in your blood and cause sluggishness and vomitosity - never pleasant.


Of course alcoholism and drinking bouts are not good for anybody in the long term, but this should help in your next drinking session. For long term preparations, please refer to the liver cancer and other such guides.
