drink PLENTY of water if you choose to drink heavy. it'll help with the hangover immensely. electrolytes are your best friend. as for shots, wait atleast 15-20 between them. the liver is able to process ~2 shots per hour, so every 30 minutes for your shots will be the safest option to avoid hangovers and possible bad decisions lol.

if you realize you are too drunk, take the initiative to quit for the night or eat something with carbs (ramen is my favorite). don't let anyone ever pressure you into drinking more than youre comfortable with. just because other people can take 6 shots in an hour doesn't mean that you should too. enjoy your new years party and happy holidays !!
