How to Escape a Hangover: Pre Party Precautions
Psychological Articles by Dr. Karen for BoomerYearbook.com
Surprisingly, a lady baby boomer is less likely to take pre party precautions against the effects of alcohol than a male baby boomer. Why should that be? Perhaps because in the hours before a party or social gathering, ladies are concerned with their appearance or arranging baby sitting or fixing snacks for the children – rushing through a dozen tasks prior to going out for the evening and possibly neglecting the opportunity to safeguard against a hangover the following day.
Serious party goers have actually been known to drink before they leave the house. This practice of ‘kick starting’ an evening is extremely stupid and bound to cause long term problems over time. Some people do this to combat nervousness or shyness, finding the alcohol slightly sedating. Far from drinking alcohol before the evening commences party goers should eat rather than drink, to help ward off some seriously unpleasant symptoms of hangover.
It is a fact that food helps with a hangover and it makes the symptoms less unpleasant. But whatever you eat before you drink alcohol will make you feel infinitely less like death in the morning. Take the opportunity to eat something before going out drinking, especially if you know there will be little food served at the party. A sandwich and a glass of orange juice is a great pre-fixative for an evening’s drinking, as the carbohydrate and the Vitamin C helps the system cope with the alcohol. A well fed baby boomer is less likely to suffer in the morning!
Assuming you have managed to squeeze in a small sandwich and a glass or orange juice, go ahead and primp yourself up for the best party ever, but before you step out of the front door, drink a full glass of water too. When you are agonizing over what to wear and whether the cab is going to show up on time it is easy to forget you need to take care of yourself we are told in psychological articles, but observing these eating and drinking rituals before going out will reap benefits in the morning.
The baby boomer party attitude is traditionally one of abandonment but as we get older we need to take care of our party equipment to ensure it stays in shape for many years in the future! People who try the eating and drinking ritual before going out invariably adopt it as habit once they experience the difference in how they feel the next day.
Alcohol is a diuretic, according to psychological articles that explore the effects it has upon the fragile human frame! Realistically we all like to drink – thus we at BoomerYearbook.com think it makes sense to prevent rather than cure!
