The holidays are upon us, and people are more and more finding themselves in a festive mood, which is only natural:  more friends and relatives are around and ready to have a good time, celebrating with food — and drink — sometimes to the detriment of the individual who is unfortunate enough to overdo it.  While treating yourself to a really special meal, featuring fattening things on the menu that you normally wouldn’t touch with a forty-foot pole, you might just feel guilty for a few days at your lack of restraint and personal indulgence.  But if you drink too much alcohol, the aftermath can be far worse, and even life threatening.

Before you overindulge in alcoholic beverages during the numerous holiday celebrations between now and the first of next year, consider the implications ahead of time:  do you really want to wake up dehydrated, nauseous, and with a headache that won’t go away no matter what remedies you try?  Is that oh-so-great feeling you get after your third shot of tequila leading you towards a fourth or fifth, and you’ve forgotten how to think clearly?  Tomorrow, you’re probably going to feel like a bum and a loser — and you’ll probably have a pretty serious hangover to boot.
