What NOT to do as Part of Your Hangover Cure

Since not all people have the same age, height and weight, alcohol affects them differently and what one person should not do in order to avoid hangovers, another person might be able to do and be fine. Knowing the "what not to do's" then becomes a personal list.

There are two things that individuals should not do if they truly want to avoid a hangover; not drink alcohol at all and the second thing is if you do drink, to know your limit and to stay within in it, so as not to get drunk. Not drinking and staying within your limit are two surefire ways to not have a hangover. So what not to do would be: don't drink alcohol, and don't go over your limit. Your limit being the amount of alcohol that you know you can safely drink and be in control of yourself (meaning not getting drunk).

 
1. Don't drink alcoholic drinks
2. Don't go past your alcohol limit

Since not all people have the same age, height and weight, alcohol affects them differently and what one person should not do in order to avoid hangovers, another person might be able to do and be fine. Knowing the "what not to do's" then becomes a personal list. One person's list of what not to do in order to avoid hangovers will be different than another person's list.

A hangover is really a lesson in physiology. You have to understand the physics of what makes up the essence of a "hangover" and then apply that to each individual to discover what each individual "not to do list to avoid hangover" will look like.

The physiology of alcohol looks something like this:

Dehydration - alcohol evaporates a certain portion of the water contained in your body.

Nervous shock - Alcohol is a depressant drug, and because it is, it has an affect on your nerves; basically sending them into a state of relative hypersensitivity.

Malnutrition - All that alcohol and other liquid (cola, juice, water etc.) that you consumed has effectively flushed your system of any stored vitamins and nutrients that would have been your body's natural defense system; a defense system that is in the dangerously low range right now.

The "what not to do" list are the things that put your body into that dangerously low range.

Most people have similar things on their "what not to do " list that include:
