Wine for the Heart

The Morning After

Pace yourself. Your body converts alcohol to acetaldehyde, which is the substance that's primarily responsible for a hangover later on. And your body can process about one drink's worth of the stuff per hour.

Pick your poison and stick with it. A 12-ounce beer, a five-ounce glass of wine, and a shot of whiskey all have roughly the same half ounce of pure alcohol. Sticking with the same drink may help prevent an upset stomach, but not drunkenness.

Have a meal first. Even a glass of milk will slow down the effects of alcohol consumption.

Drink a pint of water, and take aspirin before hitting the hay. Dehydration is a major source of next-morning discomfort. The aspirin will simply help minimize the headache.

Clip the hair of the dog. Another drink will only help if you're an addict suffering withdrawal symptoms in which case you've got bigger problems than a hangover.
