No one really knows how to completely prevent a hangover but there is lot of suggestions. Some of these suggestions include:
one should try and not mix drinks, most people recommend that beer should not be mixed with wines and other liquors
- Avoid drinking on an empty stomach. This leads to rapid absorption of alcohol from the stomach.
- Conversely, one should drink after a meal; this slows the absorption of alcohol from the stomach.
- Keep well hydrated in between bouts of drinking alcohol. One should drink lots of water or soft drinks if one is going to start binge drinking. Just before going to bed, try and drink some more water or any type of juice. This may help you dilute the alcohol and even pee it out before morning.
- It is claimed that colored alcohols and wines are more prone to causing hangovers. So to avoid a hangover, drink clear alcohols.
Some of these suggestions work and some do not. Some people have one drink only and still develop a hangover. While there is no magic bullet to prevent a hangover, the surest way to avoid a hangover is not to drink alcohol in the first place.

Becoming increasingly sick, faint or getting nose bleeds may be a sign of accelerated recovery. On the other hand, loss of vision, consciousness or numbness throughout the chest and limbs could be indicative of a serious medical emergency.
Young people seem to tolerate this treatment better than adults, but my observations are hardly scientific. Also, it is best to have a spotter, as my friend Jason found out when he experienced all three warning signs and suffered cardiac arrest right at the rec center.
Thankfully, he was revived and we’ve since banned all drunk or deeply hungover individuals from going to the saunas.
So, to summarize: individuals recovering from a hangover should not be placed inside an active sauna. Doing so may result in serious injury, even death.
Wait. Where was I going with th…
