Have a drink (but not too many!)

30 Nov Have a drink (but not too many!)

Mulled wine. Eggnog. Pomegranate martinis. When you’re at a party, try to limit yourself to two and alternate them with glasses of water to avoid a crushing hangover the morning after. “If we don’t eat before we drink, that can throw off blood sugar,” leading to next-day weariness, adds Steven Feinleib, MD, a staff physician in preventive medicine at the Cleveland Clinic in Ohio. (Any food will do to help absorb alcohol.)

If you wake up with a throbbing head, down some water, pop a pain reliever like ibuprofen, and sleep!
