Knocking back a bottle of wine and partying with your friends seems like a perfectly good idea until you wake up the next day with the dreaded hangover.
But what if there was a way that you could curb the hot sweats, splitting headaches and nausea before drinking? According to experts there is.
FEMAIL has enlisted the advice of some top nutritionists and experts to share the clever and quick ways you can avoid a hangover moments before you reach for your first drink.
Try an adsorbent gel: Qualified nutritional therapist, Julie Silver, recommends using an adsorbent gel, which also helps sufferers with diarrhoea, called Enterosgel to help coat the lining of the gut, and help cleanse alcohol from the gut.
She says that by taking just taking three or four teaspoons before eating or drinking, it can help increase your body's resistance to the effects of alcohol and help prevent indigestion.
"And", she adds. "You can take 2-3 tablespoons afterwards to help you recover more quickly and help avoid a hangover the next morning. It works by holding on to the toxic substances in the gut such as alcohol and naturally expelling them with the stool."
Eat a healthy meal: A nutritionist from Pure Package says it's essential that you eat a good substantial and nutritious meal beforehand. High fat foods (good fats!) are digested slower and will give your stomach a much needed protection from the irritating effects of alcohol. Think of healthy fats from oily fish, vitamin C rich foods and vibrant liver-detoxifying vegetables and fruits such as broccoli, celery, lemons, tomatoes and oranges.
