It's Christmas week and we're here to help you survive it 🤓

Generally, a hangover is the term used to describe how the body reacts to drinking too much alcohol.

‘Symptoms may include fatigue or weakness, thirst or dry mouth, headache, muscle aches, nausea or vomiting, stomach pain, poor or decreased sleep, vertigo or dizziness, sensitivity to light and sound, shakiness, decreased ability to concentrate, anxiety or irritability, sweating, and increased blood pressure.’

‘But drinking too much alcohol of any colour/kind can still make you feel bad the next morning, and most of the hangover relates to the quantity of alcohol rather than congeners. We all know the dangers of over-consumption of alcohol so try and stay within in the recommended guidelines, and if you are planning to hit the bar lots this month, the NHS advises not to drink more than 14 units a week .The only way to prevent a hangover is to avoid alcohol, but Dr East says the old wives’ tale about lining your stomach before drinking actually has some truth to it. ‘Eat before and while drinking,’ he says.
