The best way to avoid a heavy hangover is to make sure that you do not drink on an empty stomach. Eat well and drink at a very relaxing pace. The faster you drink, the quicker you get drunk. Having some honey helps in burning off the effects of alcohol quicker as it contains high concentration of fructose. Drinking juice will give you quick relief from a hangover as it is not only high in fructose but also contains a lot of vitamin C. Eating bananas as well as drinking plenty of water also helps.
