Getting over the booze


P.S. I wonder how the royalties puke??
A friend of mine keeps getting hangovers.
You know who I am referring to.
Yes, you!
So read this entry before you hit the club.
Have a hearty meal before drinking.
Go for fatty and protein-rich foods.
Don't pretend to be health conscious at this point. If you are, then don't drink!
Fatty and protein-rich foods take a longer time to digest.
Hence it will mix with the alcohol in your stomach, diluting the alcohol and giving your body more time to break down the alcohol.
You should also try to snack throughout the night for the same purpose.
If prevention fails then take these corrective measures.
Take raw eggs! Eggs contain an amino acid called cysteine and cysteine helps to counter the effects of acetaldehyde which causes hangovers.
Or take some bread or crackers. Bread and crackers help to raise the blood sugar levels and calm upset stomach.
You can also try eating bananas. Bananas can help to calm stomach irritation.
Or try ginger. It works just as well as bananas.
And don't forget to sleep more and drink more water or sport drinks.

Last but not least, DON'T DRINK EXCESSIVELY!
