How to Prevent Hangover With Vitamin B Complex

Alcohol consumption can lead to depletion of several nutrients from the body. According to Florida Detox and Wellness Institute, excessive consumption of alcohol depletes vitamins A, B, C, D and E. The depletion of these nutrients from the body causes the feeling of a hangover upon waking up. Of all the depleted nutrients, the vitamin B nutrients are depleted the fasted. Replacing them before you go to sleep can help your body regain its nutritional status and reduce the harmful after effects of alcohol.

Step 1

Keep yourself hydrated. Alcohol can deplete water from the body, preventing the body from absorbing water-soluble vitamins. Drink at least two glasses of water before going to bed.

Step 2

Consume a vitamin B complex pill the night before you plan to drink, on the morning of the day you plan to drink and once again right before going to bed on the night you are drinking.

Step 3

Have a hearty meal when you wake up after a night of drinking. Drink lots of fluids like water and fruit juices.

Step 4

Take a vitamin B complex pill after consuming your breakfast, the morning after you have consumed a lot of alcohol. Consume the vitamin even if you feel fine.

Tips and Warnings

  • Keep consuming a lot of water the day before you plan on drinking and the day after it so that you maintain hydration and your body is able to absorb the water-soluble nutrients.
