Hydrate

Drink water before, during, and after consuming alcohol to help counteract dehydration, a major contributor to hangovers.

Eat before drinking

Having a meal before alcohol consumption can slow down the absorption of alcohol and reduce its effects.

Pace yourself

Space out your drinks and avoid rapid consumption to give your body time to metabolize the alcohol.

Choose lighter beverages

Opt for clear spirits or lighter-colored drinks, as they tend to cause fewer hangover symptoms than darker ones.

Avoid sugary mixers

Sugary drinks can exacerbate dehydration and contribute to more severe hangovers, so choose mixers with less sugar.

Get enough sleep

Ensure you have a good night's sleep before and after drinking, as fatigue can amplify the effects of alcohol.

Take breaks

Intersperse alcoholic beverages with non-alcoholic ones to maintain hydration and reduce overall alcohol intake.

Balance according to your limit

Know your limits and stick to them to minimize the risk of a hangover.

Include electrolytes

Consume drinks or foods with electrolytes to help replenish the minerals lost due to alcohol's diuretic effects.

Precaution while medication

If you choose to take pain relievers, opt for those that do not contain acetaminophen, as it can interact with alcohol and cause liver damage.
