Let’s be honest. 2020 gave everyone plenty of reasons to drink.
And with the promises of bubbly champagne this New Years Eve, many more people will be sending off the old year with a toast or two.
So here are a few tips to keep your stomach from getting pumped and your hangover from being… well, bad.
Replenish what you’ve lost: This involves drinking water and getting electrolytes back in your system. Alcohol is considered a diuretic, according to Healthline.com, which means it quickly dehydrates your body. Dehydration can cause dizziness, headaches and even vomiting and diarrhea. Getting electrolytes is an efficient way to replenish the nutrients you lost quickly. Examples of drinks with electrolytes are Gatorade, Pedialyte and treated bottled water like Smart Water or Essentia.
