Safe drinking

Drink plenty of water, especially during your boozing session. A pint of water before you head horizontal can also help see off any headaches.

Eat well before you drink and your body will be better equipped to soak up the booze - bread or pasta are good. A pint of milk is thought to have the same effect.

Try not to mix your drinks, otherwise you're only adding to the number of toxins that your body has to deal with.

Drinking large amounts in one session (binge drinking) can be dangerous. So, before you start drinking, be sure you know when to stop. This can be hard when everyone else is boozing, but practice makes perfect.
