There is a good and fun side to drinking but one must do so responsibly, so as not to wake up with a splitting headache and a spinning hangover!
To prevent hangovers we must know what causes it:
1. Dehydration: Alcohol is a diuretic, which means it is a substance that increases urination and flushes fluids from the body. Drinking coffee the next morning only increases this problem, as coffee is also a diuretic.
2. Too much alcohol in the bloodstream: Too much alcohol depletes the body of necessary substances required to stay healthy. These include blood sugar, vitamins and minerals.
Which alcohol give the worse hangover ?
This would really vary on your body metabolism but researchers believe that Brandy is the ‘worst’ drink for hangovers. Then, in descending order: red wine, rum, whisky, white wine, gin and vodka. Certain types of wine can also cause a bad hangover if they are too young or from a bad crop harvest.
