5 Things You Should Never Eat Before a Night of Drinking

One of the worst things alcohol does to your body is dehydrate you. So snacking on treats like popcorn, chips, and pretzels—which are notorious for drying your mouth (and body) out—is like getting a head start on the problem. Instead, reach for something that's filled with water like cucumber slices or watermelon.

While leafy greens are good for your body in a lot of ways, we all know that eating a simple salad before going out is like going out on an empty stomach. Can you say "zero to one hundred real quick"? Make sure it has some form of protein in it like chicken, which takes longer to digest and will slow down the rise of your blood alcohol level.

Aside from the fact that raw fish and shots of vodka don't sound so great together, you're more than likely dunking your crunchy tuna roll in lots and lots of soy sauce. Salt = dehydration , and drinking + dehydration = worst hangover of your life.

Consider this: If it upsets your stomach when you're sober, it'll feel twice as awful when you're drunk. As much as we love a good round of buffalo wings, they'll have to sit out before a night of heavy drinking.
