You've been stressed lately with work or school and are looking forward to a weekend of partying. You want to have a good time, but you don't want to feel the effects the next day. So how can you avoid getting the dreaded hangover?

Well truth is there is no way to fully prevent a hangover other than not drinking at all. Since everyone's body reacts differently to alcohol, there are no simple steps that can guarantee you won't get one. However, there are some useful tips that you might want to take into consideration before your wild weekend.

1. Eat. Before you hit up the bars or the parties make sure you have eaten a full meal. Food will absorb the alcohol and add volume to your stomach which will help dilute the alcohol as well.

2. Drink Milk. Milk coats the lining of your stomach and helps to minimize the amount of alcohol your body absorbs.

3. Drink Lots of Water. Drinking a lot of alcohol dehydrates the body, therefore you want to stay hydrated. Plus, water helps dilute how much alcohol your body absorbs.

4. Take a multivitamin. Alcohol strips the body of it's nutrients, so taking a vitamin will help the body not lose as much.

So keep these tips in mind before the big night out.
