Nobody wants to start 2020 with a monster hangover but there's plenty you can do today to avoid starting the new year on a bum note. However, although food in your stomach will slow down the rate alcohol is absorbed, it won't stop you becoming drunk. Make sure you have an alcohol measure on hand to prevent "over-pouring", or better yet, start reaching for a drink that's lower on the alcohol front. If the thought of 'hair of the dog' makes you feel even more queezy, (does anyone really think more alcohol cures a hangover?) So pace yourself this New Year's Eve, and enjoy the first day of 2020.
