Who hasn’t had a hangover after a night of drinking? Our tip looks at all the little things you can change to avoid painful aftermath.

Before the party: prepare your body

A few precautions before you drink can help prevent these symptoms:

    – Eat before you go to the party: drinking on an empty stomach promises nasty migraines and an increased risk of vomiting.

    – Eat foods rich in fat (fatty acids will slow down the absorption of alcohol in the body).

During the evening: learn to control your consumption

Throughout the evening, you can also pay attention to a few things that will save you the next day:

    – Avoid mixed drinks, carbonated alcoholic beverages, or those containing soda, which get you drunk faster.

    – Space out your drinks and avoid binge drinking, which is consuming a large amount of alcohol in a brief period.

    – Feed yourself, but be careful not to overeat salt: salt consumption can increase dehydration.

    – Drink water! We recommend a glass of water after a glass of alcohol to avoid dehydration. Continuously alternate the two, and the evening will be even more successful!

After the night: to survive the hangover

Have you been drinking, and are you feeling bad the next day?

A hangover is the onset of symptoms after excessive alcohol consumption. According to scientists, it occurs after consuming more than 1.5g of alcohol/kg. 

Hangover: cause and symptoms

Symptoms

The symptoms felt by the individual the day after a drunken party are pretty unpleasant:

    – headaches, i.e., headaches;

    – vomiting, nausea;

    – sweating;

    – tachycardia;

    – dizziness;

    – tremors, etc.

Causes

These symptoms are due to the elimination of alcohol by the liver:

    – This elimination leads to synthesizing a substance: acetaldehyde which would be the origin of these symptoms.

    – It is then transformed into acetate by the liver and eliminated.

The aftermath of a party is therefore much less agitated and more complicated when a hangover occurs. Fortunately, various solutions exist to make the pill pass and fight against these inconveniences.

6 solutions to put into practice against hangovers

Immediately

Here are some practical tips to fight a hangover:

    – Avoid consuming alcohol again immediately! Some people say that the best way to get over a hangover is to drink a little beer to get over it… but that’s a bit of a stretch!

    – Take a painkiller to treat your headache.

    – Take an anti-emetic to fight nausea and vomiting.

During the day

    – Drink regularly within a day of drinking alcohol, as drinking alcohol significantly dehydrates the body:

        ◦ water;

        ◦ non-acidic juice such as gazpacho;

        ◦ herbal teas.

    – Eat light, i.e., foods low in:

        ◦ salt, as salt consumption majors dehydration;

        ◦ fats and sugars to facilitate the work of the liver.

Good to know: eating an egg with toast, honey, or maple syrup on toast or even a vegetable broth is ideal after a hangover.

Be patient!

Finally, be patient because time is your ally:

    – Your blood alcohol level will gradually decrease, about 0.15 mg/L per hour, due to the elimination of alcohol by the liver.

    – Depending on the initial dose you have consumed, it will take you more or less time to recover from your hangover.
