Hangover Tips

Here are some time honored cures and prevention tips I found in our local paper:

1. Use caution: If you’re having a holiday party, designate a bartender who can keep an eye on how much everyone is drinking and avoid over-serving guest, the Distilled Spririts Council of the United States recommends. Providing food and nonalcoholic options for party goers also is a good idea.

2. Try an ounce of prevention: Eating almonds or peanut butter before drinking is thought to prevent intoxication, according to Health991.com. The site also advises that evening primrose oil and prickly pear cactus extract help prevent hangovers.

3. Slow down: Some say “coating” your stomach helps efoe and after. “Have an appetizer that includes dipping good bread into olive oil,” recommends Dale DeGroff author of The Essential Cocktail: The Art of Mixing the Perfect Drinks. “I learned that from my Italian grandfather. Olive oil coats the stomach and (oil and bread) slow down the progress of the alcohol from the stomach to the bloodstream, where it rushes to the brain… That is when the problems begin.”

4. Don’t count on coffee: It’s a myth that coffee will help sober you up. Caffeine may help with the drowsiness, but it doesn’t counteract the effects of alcohol on decision-making and coordination, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism. Water is good, but time is what you need to metabolize alcohol. Give yourself a while to return to normal.

5. Try a sure cure: Want to be free of these problems entirely DeGroff says “Two foolproof ways to avoid a hangover: 1. Don’t start drinking 2. Don’t stop drinking.
