If you find yourself drinking more than you planned at a holiday party, one expert has some tips to avoid a nasty hangover.
We spoke to Jonathan Pogash, hospitality holdings director of cocktail development at the World Bar in New York City, who gave us the 411 on how have a good time without paying for it the next day.
Pogash said there are certain drinks you should avoid if you want to decrease your chances of a bad hangover.
“One would be a Long Island Iced Tea,” Pogash said. “It has too many different liquors, a lot of sugar and cheap liquor. You definitely want to avoid all that.”
So what should you drink – besides a lot of water?
Stick to fresh ingredients that don’t contain too much sugar, Pogash recommended, and always skip the cheap stuff. If you are going to drink, opt for high-end products.
Also, try to drink cocktails that are high in antioxidants, like cranberries or pomegranates.
Pogash said sometimes adding an egg white to a drink, like in a pomegranate fizz, can be a good idea because the egg adds protein to the drink while making it frothy.
