Experts have warned about worst drink for hangovers and you'd be wise to avoid it on Christmas Eve

There's nothing worse than dealing with festive drama when you're hungover

As wonderful as Christmas may be, from kids waking you up before the crack of dawn to snide comments over the dinner table, the big day can be difficult to navigate.

It's even worse dealing with all the festive drama when you're hungover.

But, not all hangovers are created equally. Some will see you pop a Paracetamol and be fine within 45 minutes while others leave you curled up in the foetal position on the bathroom floor for hours.

Now, experts have revealed which bevvy will leave you with the worst hangover and you'd be wise to avoid it this Christmas Eve.

The answer? Prosecco.

While this will come as no surprise to anyone who's been left with that familiar pounding head, there's actual science behind it.

Speaking to Tyla, sommelier and Club Vino founder Marco Castelanelli said: "If you find that you get the worst headache ever after a glass or two of Prosecco, then quite simply, blame it on the bubbles."

He added: "Prosecco and Champagne both contain little pockets of carbon dioxide which change how the alcohol flows through the bloodstream, helping the body to absorb the alcohol faster."

And if you've noticed that the bubbly gets you tipsy far too easily, it's not just the fact that you're downing it that causes you to get drunk.

Castelanelli continued: "Once in the bloodstream, the Co2 competes with oxygen - which is why you might feel a little woozy and rather drunk rather quickly, leading to an exaggerated hangover in the form of a pounding head."

As for how to prevent the killer headache associated with the bubbly drink, drinking a glass of water between each drink is a good form of damage limitation.

Drinking your Prosecco slowly will also help and you should obviously never drink on an empty stomach.

Castelanelli also recommends drinking a large glass of water before you go to bed. Well, that sounds easy enough.

Once it enters the bloodstream, the Co2 competes with oxygen, causing you to get drunk quicker and giving you an exaggerated hangover the next day.

We all have our own techniques for dealing with a hangover, whether it's having a cry in the shower or having a sneaky curer, hair of the dog style - but according to scientists, you should try a very specific food and drink combo.

A 2019 study by a team at the Institute of Chemical Technology in Mumbai, India said: "A beverage made from a blend of sweet lime, pear, and coconut water could be used to overcome hangover.

"The consumption of this beverage with cheese, cucumber, and tomatoes may further alleviate the hangover symptoms."

There you have it, then.
