St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner and if you will be enjoying a few drinks this Thursday, March 17, be sure and take steps to drink responsibly and avoid a hangover the next day. No one needs you to call out of work on a Friday. Here are a few tips for preventing a hangover.

Eat a Burger: hangovers are related to how you metabolize alcohol, so to avoid one eat a meal with lots of carbs, protein and fat—a hamburger will hit all those areas and taste great in the process.

Drink Gatorade: or coconut water while you are drinking. Water alone does not work fast enough at replacing electrolytes and nutrients. Alternate between two drinks and a sports drink.

Eat eggs the next day: eggs help break down the toxins that cause headaches during hangovers, so eat some first thing in the morning.
