Want to know how to avoid a hangover? Researchers at Utrecht University in the Netherlands have done the research, and they’ve come up with an answer that many people don’t want to hear: drink less. HealthDay reports on the research, which polled 800 Canadian students at more than 800 Dutch students, asking about their drinking experiences, hangover pain, and select remedies, such as a eating a big breakfast or drinking large amounts of water. Here’s what they found: while nearly 55 percent of students said they had some food before bed, there was no clinical difference seen in the way such drinkers rated the severity of their subsequent hangover when compared with those who didn’t eat immediately after drinking. Similarly, the nearly 45 percent who said they downed a big breakfast the next day (and the 34 percent who consumed a lot of fatty foods) also saw little reduction in their hangover severity. Wait, there’s more, or less. Drinking water while consuming alcohol, or the following morning, also provided merely “modest” hangover relief. In other words, the best thing you can do for a hangover is not get one. And yes, more research is needed.
