And we tried so hard to reach you,
But you’re falling anyway.
And you know we see right through you,
‘Cause the world gets in your way.

What’s the point in all this screaming,
No one’s listening anyway.

Before

• Eat lots before you start drinking. Good foods to eat are: Dairy products (cheese is especially good), foods high in fat, foods high in protein (nuts are especially good), soup, etc
• Have a glass of milk before you start drinking. It coats the lining of your stomach
• Take B vitamins and vitamin C before and after drinking (shortcuts: orange juice contains vitamin C and beer actually contains a substantial amount of vitamin B1 :)

During

• Stick with one type of alcohol. Variety is not the spice of life if you want to avoid a hangover
• Avoid smoking. Smoking constricts your lungs and decreases the oxygen flow to your blood stream. Less oxygen means a stronger hangover
• Nibble during the evening
• Avoid mixing drinks
• Avoid carbonated drinks (like sparkling wines). These speed up the absorption of alcohol
• Avoid dark drinks (like brandy, whiskey, red wine, etc)

After

• Get some fresh air (walking home with friends is great – the fresh air will help you sober up, and feel better in the morning)
• Avoid taking paracetamol, aspirin, acetaminophen or ibuprofen
• Keep a large bottle of water by the bed, incase you wake during the night
• Try to get as much sleep as possible

You’ve probably noticed that the design is quite different – I had wanted to redesign the site for a while, and the relaunch provider a perfect opportunity to do so.

Let me know what you think of the new design and any feedback you have on things you would change. I’m open to suggestions.

There will be lots added over the coming weeks, and I will post updates to the blog (the homepage).
