One of the UK's most popular doctors has revealed that loading up on a fatty meal before a night out will help prevent the longer effects of a hangover.
Dr Karan Rajan is a surgeon within the NHS in England and a lecturer at multiple universities around the country.
Even more interestingly, the Imperial College London alumnus has made quite a name for himself on the video sharing app TikTok in the last 18 months.
He was at it again recently, when he responded to one user who claimed that having a spoonful of olive oil before you go on the booze for the night will stop you from getting drunk and having a hangover.
This was dismissed by the Doc - who explained exactly why some people tend to get drunk a bit quicker than others.
And it's all to do with mixing alcohol with diet drinks.
He told his followers: "Around 80 per cent of the alcohol is absorbed in the small intestine. So you can actually get drunk slower, by slowing the rate at which alcohol enters the small intestine and you can do this by having a meal with some fat.
"So the alcohol now mixed with the food, stays in the stomach for longer before entering the intestine and this reduces the rate at which alcohol is absorbed into the blood stream."
Dr Rajan confirmed that the only way to prevent a hangover and get less drunk is to, unsurprisingly, drink less.
Earlier this year, Dr Rajan chimed in with an easy way to help out your sore head the morning after a heavy night.
He explained: "I wanna share something with you that might be the fastest way to reduce stress and anxiety according to science.
"It’s known as the physiological sigh and actually your body does this several times a day without you even realising to regulate high C02 levels and stress.
"You can do this whenever you’re stressed to bring the level of autonomic nervous system arousal back to baseline.
"Deep inhale through the nose and just when you can’t inhale anymore a second short sharp inhale followed by a long exhale through the mouth."
Explaining its effectiveness Dr. Karan said: "This works because our lungs consist of millions of tiny sacks called alveoli and when we’re stressed these sacks collapse and deflate."
