HOW TO AVOID HANGOVERS AFTER A NIGHT OF RAGING

So I am the champion at avoiding hangovers, but even I have unfortunately been hit with one or two on occasion. There is nothing worse than going a little too hard day one of a festival and then feeling like absolute trash day two. Yeah, you will recover but it is going to be a few hours of hell before you feel well again, and nobody wants that. I know everyone has there own little theories about how to prevent them, but it never hurts to try and gather as many in one places as you possibly can. Keeping that in mind, today I wanted to walk you through a few foolproof ways to avoid waking up with a pounding headache feeling like death after a long night of clubbing or raving.

HOOKING UP AT FESTIVALS

I figured this would be a good companion to the rave bae article (which if you haven’t read you should go check it out), because let’s face it, festivals tend to be one of those weird places where you let go of inhibition and are often kind of sequestered in a place with a bunch of strangers (some of who are super hot) for a few days with zero cell service, so things are going to happen.

I was up at SnowGlobe in Lake Tahoe dancing for hours in below freezing temperatures, so it was no surprise when I woke up to the sniffles on January first. What started as the sniffles has now turned into a full-on cold which is why I wanted to take a little time to talk about the realness that is ‘post-festival sickness’ and what you can do to try and combat it, or at least make it a little less of a struggle to get through.

MIXING, SAFE OR A HORRIBLE IDEA?

As I have recently been taking a short course of medication that prevents me from drinking, I have become more and more aware of what going on around me at events. It’s amazing what being dead sober will do for your powers of observation when you are at a club or party, and recently I have noticed a lot of people mixing. Now you may be wondering what I mean by that so let me explain. When I say mixing I mean, mixing drugs like MDMA and liquor, mixing excessive amounts of caffeine and alcohol, as well as mixing multiple types of substances along with alcohol.
