Remember this: there are no hangover cures. What works for me may not work for you. However, there are some things you can do that will at least lower your chances of being useless the day after your office party. Here are a few tips:
Before the party:
- Eat something, preferably a carb-heavy meal, to slow the effects of alcohol.
- Stay hydrated throughout the day.At the party:
- Make your first drink a non-alcoholic one.
- Eat every three hours.
- Avoid foods that will dehydrate you more (this means salty and sugary).
- White wine, vodka, and gin are easier on the liver than darker drinks such as red wine, beer and sugary drinks.
- For every alcoholic drink you have, down a glass of water too.
- Flush out your liver before you go to bed by eating carb-rich or protein-rich foods (maybe a turkey sandwich or peanut butter on toast).
- As much as you want it, don’t give in to your salty, fast-food cravings (such as a late-night Big Mac). It’s hard on your digestive track.
- Drinking alcohol makes you lose vitamins B and C, so stock up before hitting the hay. Eat bananas, whole grains, oranges or even take a multi-vitamin.
- The best snack would be a piece of whole grain toast topped with peanut butter and banana slices. Down it with a big glass of water.The next morning:
- If you still wake up feeling like you were run over by a bus, don’t skip breakfast.
- Flush the alcohol from your system by eating foods like eggs, fruit, lemon and honey.
- Contrary to popular belief, coffee doesn’t sober you up. But it may help with your hangover headache.
