If you plan on indulging in some alcoholic beverages, here are some drinking tips to help you make better choices:<\/em><\/h3>\n–Alternate between alcohol and water.<\/strong> Now, this doesn\u2019t mean that chugging water after a shot will negate the effects of the alcohol. Five shots in an hour is still five shots in an hour, no matter how much water you chug-a-lug. A better plan is to have 1 drink in an hour (about the amount of time it takes your body to metabolize the alcohol), then have a glass of water over the next hour, and so on. This will slow down your drinking, which will greatly decrease your chances of a hangover and also decrease your calorie intake. Win-win!<\/p>\n–Have food and alcohol separately.<\/strong> If you\u2019re going to a party, have a balanced meal or snack prior to attending if you plan on drinking. Alcohol and poor food choices often go hand and hand, so separating the two can help eliminate an excess of calories. By eating a well balanced meal or snack first, you\u2019ll cover some nutritional bases before indulging in an adult beverage or two. If you decide to forego alcohol for the evening, it will be easier for you to make clear, rational food choices that aren’t booze-fueled (OMG those cheese fries smell AMAZIIIIINNNNGGGG…we’ve all been there before).<\/p>\n
