8 Best Things To Eat Before You Drink

The holidays are here and you'll be around family and friends for extended periods of time. We all know what the means, we'll need a drink or twelve!

Nutrition experts have come up with a list of the best foods to eat before you drink. They all prevent alcohol from absorbing too quickly and are a tad healthier than say, a pizza.

Here are the top eight:

1. Milk - It's high in potassium, which you start running low on when you're peeing a lot. Plus, milk is 90% water and that'll help you stay hydrated.
2. Yogurt with Granola - It lines the inside of your stomach and your body takes six hours to digest it.
3. Hummus - Just like yogurt, it lines your stomach. And if you eat it with vegetables, the nutrients can help prevent a hangover.
4. Salmon - It's high in B-12, and alcohol can cause a B-12 deficiency.
5. Spaghetti - It'll absorb some of the alcohol, and the carbs will give you more energy.
6. Grilled Chicken Sandwich - The protein takes a while to digest which prevents you from getting drunk too quickly. And then the carbs give you energy just like spaghetti.
7. Cereal - Especially if it's high-fiber, which slows down the absorption of alcohol.
8. Eggs - They have a lot of protein and amino acids that break down the alcohol.
