The Bite:
It's possible, but you gotta be prepared. Conventional methods like taking Tylenol actually do more body damage, so try some natural ways to make your body hate you less.
Wanna avoid that New Year's Day hangover?

The Benefits:
- Stop hangovers before they start. Drink water (dehydration's the reason for your headache) and take B vitamins (depleted by alcohol) to reduce the after-effects of partying too hard.
- Get rid of symptoms. Reduce your body's inflammatory response to booze with sarsaparilla and prickly pear extract.
- Better for your liver. Mixing OTC painkillers like Tylenol is a recipe for liver disaster, according to the FDA.
Personally Speaking:
Sara's recipe for avoiding hangovers (after years of dedicated testing): Activated B and Fight Back Hangover Helper a couple hours before getting the party started, a big glass of water before bed, and sleeping in past 10 the next day. (And, well, a good grease-fest at breakfast the next morning.)
Wanna Try:
- Fight Back Hangover Helper - its key ingredient: detoxifying sarsaparilla - and yes, we spelled that right ($15).
- Jigsaw Health Activated B - sustained-release formula, so you get B vitamin power all day long ($15).
- Ola Loa - surprisingly tasty vitamin packets with electrolytes to help you re-hydrate ($22).
- Physician's Formula Prickly Pear Extract - taking it a few hours before drinking will keep inflammation at a minimum, as a 2004 study found. Note: contains gelatin ($6).
- Ideal Bite's Organic Wine Soiree Tip - mild allergies to sulfites in conventional wine can cause major pain, so go organic with wine when you can.
Cocktail Fact
New York's not the only city with a New Year's "drop" - in Mt. Olive, NC they drop a pickle.
