How to Avoid a Hangover Before the Party Starts

If you know you’re heading into a heavy-drinking holiday party, hangover prevention doesn’t start the next morning — it starts before your first drink 🍸.

In this short, Dr. Chris lays out three things to do ahead of time to reduce how hard alcohol hits your body and help avoid a brutal hangover.

💧 1. Preload with water + electrolytes
Alcohol dehydrates you. Electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium help your body hold onto water instead of flushing it out. Hydrating before drinking matters more than people realize.

🍽️ 2. Eat a real meal
Fat and protein slow alcohol absorption. Drinking on an empty stomach overwhelms your liver with sugar and booze all at once — which is why people crash so hard later.

🧬 3. Support your liver’s glutathione
Dr. Chris recommends taking something that helps replenish glutathione, your body’s master antioxidant. Supplements like NAC (N-acetylcysteine) can help your liver clear out the bad stuff caused by alcohol — especially before sugary cocktails and liqueurs that spike and crash blood sugar.

➕ Bonus tip:
You probably shouldn’t mix dark and light liquors. That combo tends to make hangovers worse for a lot of people.

The takeaway isn’t “drink more.” It’s understanding that if you are going to drink, preparation matters. Support your body first — or pay for it later 🤕.
