It’s that time of year again when everyone will be having a great time partying like its 1999. Many of us will be engaging our creative minds at parties and quenching our thirsts with over-priced and water-downed drinks. And there will be many of us drinking like there is no end. I do not think that there is anything wrong with that. However, before you go out this weekend, do make sure you read this article that talks about drinking wisely.

To summarize it all for you, some suggestions include:

• do not drink on an empty stomach
• eat some salty, fatty, or high carbohydrate foods
• alternate alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic drinks
• know your own limits
• learn to say no
• drink plenty of non-alcoholic fluids throughout the night and before you go to bed

From my own experience, drinking Gatorade prior to going to bed helps alleviate some of the more strenuous symptoms of a hangover. In addition, if I am having a hangover, I mostly drink Gatorade and fruit juices to replenish the lost nutrients. Remember, alcohol is a poison which can allegedly help you live longer when taken in moderation. However, too much of it and it could kill you. When you feel like puking, remember, it is your body’s way of saying that you have had too much of this poison and it is now trying to get rid of it. So don’t hold the vomit back, just let it all out.

Most of all, enjoy the night and drink responsibly. Happy New Year’s friends
