AVOID MILLENNIUM-SIZED HANGOVERS ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

AVOID MILLENNIUM-SIZED HANGOVERS ON NEW YEAR'S EVE

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (Wireless Flash) -- Want to avoid a millennium-sized hangover on New Year's Eve? Start preparing now. Sacramento-based nutritionist Dr. Fred Beyerlein claims a little preparation will help anyone -- even a teetotaler -- handle as many as 10 drinks without getting a hangover. With just 25 days to prepare, Beyerlein suggests you start now by taking daily doses of B-complex vitamins, a multi-mineral tablet and milk thistle capsules which help regenerate the liver. Then, on New Year's Eve, before you even take one sip of champagne, you should guzzle about 25 ounces of water for every 50 pounds on your frame. Drink an extra three ounces with each cocktail. And one more thing: despite what you've heard, you shouldn't eat anything for three hours before your first drink. That's because food slows down metabolism and keeps alcohol in your body longer than necessary.
