Time imbibing Women who drink right before menstruating when their estrogen level is low are more prone to get drunk and are more nauseated afterward than during the rest of their cycle.

Tomato juice To help stop the urge for alcohol drink a tangy drink, such as tomato with the juice of one lemon added.

Water One of the best preventive measures is to drink 2-3 large glasses of water before you go to bed. Drinking alcohol is very dehydrating and hydrating your system helps counteract the effects of the alcohol.
