One of the biggest life hacks I’ve been religiously practicing as a wine lover is one glass of sparkling water per glass of wine ratio. Have been doing this for the past 10 years and it has helped in so many ways. Alternating reduces alcohol related dehydration, lowers blood alcohol concentration via slower gastric emptying, supports renal and hepatic clearance, improves sleep, and tbh reduces the chance of any hangover (disclaimer they may still happen but usually just manifest as tiredness) Since I am a sparkling (mineral not faux carbonated) water stan, it also supports via the minerals it contains: Magnesium- Nervous system regulation: supports sleep and reduces headache risk Sodium - Fluid retention + plasma volume support Potassium - Cellular hydration and neuromuscular stability Bicarbonate - Acid buffer and gastrointestinal support Calcium - Neuromuscular signaling; secondary buffering role 🍷 + ✨💧
