Have a safe and healthy New Year!

With the New Year round the corner, many of you out there might be hitting the bottle soon. Here are some tips:

Avoid Getting Drunk
*Limit your intake to 2-3 drinks max. Know your limits.
*Snacks with cheese and butter taken immediately before drinking slows down alcohol absorption. But this is not an excuse to drink more!

How to avoid Hangovers
*The sureshot way, of course, is not to drink. Jokes apart, take 2-3 spoons of honey immediately before or after drinking. The fructose present in the honey metabolizes alcohol faster. Lime and tomato juice are other good choices. Consume lots of water, which helps to eliminate the alcohol via urination and also prevents dehydration.
*Drinks like vodka and gin are less likely to cause a hangover.

Don't drive drunk
*Even before the party starts, it is always safe to request a friend who does not drink to drive you home.

So have a hic... Happy, hic...Safe and hic...Healthy New Year Guys!
