HOW TO AVOID THE HELLISH HANGOVER.

Ok, so lately in my old age hangovers are becoming more frequent and need to be diminished at once! Steps need to be taken in order to avoid the hellish hangover, a little headache in the morning I can handle but if one wakes up feeling superbly gleeful after a heavy night on the tiles you can be sure it is only a matter of time before this wares off and you are transported to hangover hell via the depths of your despair, head pounding, body aching and feeling just horrendously ill. That is when I know the hangover has arrived and not just any hangover, this indeed is the hangover from hell!

In order to avoid this despicable outcome drastic steps have got to be taken :

  •  Food glorious food (eating a healthy dose of carbs is essential for soakage)
  •  Cut down on alcohol intake (hmmm, not really going to happen , however ordering a pint of water in between  takes could help)
  • Choose one type of beverage and stick to it (this is far too sensible, however not drinking vodka and whiskey simultaneously would help)
  • Drink water through the night (this is possible, but one needs much reminding.)
  • Don’t accept drinks off anyone (this is just plain unrealistic)
  • Don’t do shots ( always a fantastic idea at the time )
  •  Drink water before bed ( would be lucky to land in the right direction)


So these are some steps that can help in order to prevent a nasty hangover after a great night out, but what if its too late and you did exactly the opposite! Well, your body is going to punish you for ignoring it and you will suffer the outcome of  poisonous alcohol toxins , you need to recover ASAP  and so these are some steps to follow.


  •  Drink lots of water to re-hydrate, plus lucozade as your blood sugars are low.
  •  Take a shower alternating between hot and cold to re hydrate your body
  •  Eat fruit like a banana to replace potassium and an orange for Vitamin C.
  •  Take a walk to relieve your senses.
  •  Try exercise in the gym to sweat out the poisonous toxins. 
  •  Be a glutton - eat chocolate, some salt and vinegar crisps washed down with  a can of coke. (your body is crying out for sugar and salt so its allowed)
  •  If all else fails try a curer! ( new alcohol will numb out old alcohol) 


So there you have it the essential guide to beating the baddie & battering that hangover over the head, now who’s up for getting drunk?
