Well how can stop him/her from drinking on the occasion of New Year Eve but dealing with hangover could be ugly. So here are some tips to recover from a bad hangover.
Before you start drinking
- Never drink on an empty stomach - You will be knocked out even before you start enjoying the party. The best way is to keep eating before, after, and during drinking, even if the food is in small portions.
- Foods such as grapes, yogurt and fried foods help to line the stomach and slow the alcohol from entering the bloodstream. Eating also speeds up your metabolism of both food and alcohol, thereby removing toxins from your body faster.
- Do not mix different types of drinks. Imagine you are mixing different poisons together within a drink that is poured into your body. These toxins could react badly with one another, creating a huge hangover later. Spare your one and only poor liver, who has to work doubly hard to flush the toxins out afterward.

- Once your wine intake exceeds two glasses, you should eat, never mind if it is already 2 a.m. Choose fried foods or high carbohydrate foods, which help to speed up your metabolism, thereby flushing the toxins out faster.
What should you eat for breakfast after your hangovers?
- Lots of fruits to replenish lost energy and fluid. Ideal fruits include grapefruits, grapes, watermelon, persimmons and olives.
- Vegetables and bread are easily digestible, fill your hunger and replenish lost nutrients.
- Yogurt, rich in calcium, helps to lift your spirits.
- Bananas are strongly recommended, as they replenish your energy, potassium and magnesium. These minerals are important in relieving your throbbing headache and feelings of nausea.
