How to Lessen the Effects of Alcohol
If you’re going to have an alcoholic drink, there are some steps you can take to lessen the effects on your body:
- Drink alcohol in moderation. Don’t consume more than one standard drink per day if you’re a woman, or two drinks if you’re a man.
- Avoid sugary mixed drinks or cocktails. These sweet drinks contain a lot of sugar, and can spike your blood sugar, causing you to feel more intoxicated.
- Make sure to eat a full, balanced meal before drinking. Eating a meal helps slow the rate at which your body absorbs the alcohol, and can reduce hangover symptoms the next day.
- Always stay hydrated. Drink a glass of water before and after you consume alcohol.
- Drink alcohol with food. To reduce the effects of alcohol, try to drink it slowly, over the course of a meal.
- Be aware of your limits. Knowing your limit will help you stay in control and avoid over-indulging.
- Avoid other drugs. Drinking alcohol and taking drugs at the same time can result in unexpected and often dangerous effects.
- Never drink and drive. Always plan ahead. Designate a driver, make transportation arrangements, or take a taxi.
