There are three things you MUST avoid when drinking this silly season

There’s no need to wake up with a throbbing head this silly season, according to experts, who have shared three rules for avoiding an epic Christmas hangover.

You should avoid super sugary drinks and drinks high in congeners according to the team of swiftyswho pride themselves on being experts in all things alcohol.

You should also always eat before you drink, as this will not only align your stomach and prevent you from getting drunk as quickly, but it will also limit a hangover.

Avoid sweet alcoholic drinks The sweetest cocktails are known to cause hangovers, as their high sugar content masks the taste of alcohol. Make sure you stay away from these drinks and you may save yourself a headache.

eat before you drink Never drink on an empty stomach. Eating beforehand will help prevent the alcohol from going to your head before you know it.

Avoid drinks high in congeners These are the drinks that give you the most headache. We are talking about brandy, cognac and many others. Staying away from these drinks can save you a lot of regrets later.

The team came up with a list of five perfect hangover drink options, which also include non-alcoholic options for people who want to avoid alcohol altogether.

Conscious Wines ‘This non-alcoholic sparkling Cuvee is tasty and refreshing on the palate, with wonderful aromas of fresh apple and tropical fruit.

‘It is the perfect accompaniment to most seafood and white meat dishes or as an aperitif.’

Gin and diet tonic ‘If you’re going to drink, gin is perfect for your skin as it has lots of antioxidants.’

Nothing like a little shine. One serving, containing 25 ml, has zero carbs and only 59 calories.

‘Gin is easy to keep in your system, especially when paired with the ideal tonic. We love the Edinburgh Seaside Gin recipe, pour a shot of the liqueur into a chilled glass filled with ice and mix with diet tonic and garnish with fresh grapefruit zest,” they said.

Adding: “The low sugar content of this drink will help in your speedy recovery the next day.”

Vodka Vodka is known to be the best drink to have at parties due to the minimal number of congeners it has compared to other alcoholic beverages.

“Hangovers are usually a result of dehydration as well, so I love this Till Vodka Melon Sparkler which will also keep you hydrated,” the team said.

To make, simply add a shot of Till Vodka into some fresh watermelon juice and fresh lemon juice, topped off with soda water.

As an alternative, Gray Goose have a new range called ‘Grey Goose Essences’ which can be transformed into the perfect summer mist with the addition of sparkling water.

Vermouth Negroni ‘A Negroni with Vermouth, also known as a Rogini, is another perfect cocktail option due to the lack of sugary ingredients. Vermouths, while less potent than most liqueurs, have more alcohol than wine, so turning one into a simple cocktail that can be sipped quietly all night is a wonder in itself; again, in moderation.

The Rogini uses the Regal Rogue Bold Red Vermouth drink as its main ingredient, along with blended gin and Campari. Garnish it with a single large slice of orange and voila,” they said.

Vermouth Aperitif “Due to the semi-dry style of the vermouth and the lack of hearty sweetness in this recipe, it’s unlikely this drink won’t bite you in the back later if you only have one or two.

‘Top Regal Rogue Lively White with an elderflower tonic, a wedge of fresh lemon and a sprig of rosemary, and you’ve got this light vermouth aperitif. Perfect for summer days and nights too.’

The team recommends always drinking in moderation.
