HANGOVER BEATERS

If you're having a holiday party at home, there are some things you can do to help your guests prevent hangovers:

Have enough food.

Hire a professional bartender to serve alcohol or make sure the person serving alcohol is not drinking heavily. Try to see to it that drinks are poured by one person. Control the bar.

Offer plenty of soft drinks, fruit juices or other alternative beverages.

Keep guests entertained by providing good food, activities and conversation in a relaxed setting.

Stop serving alcohol one hour before the party is to end. Offer non-alcoholic drinks.
