Best drinks for no hangover?!

I hardly drink but would like a couple over Christmas when socialising… just if possible I don’t want awful hangovers! I’m a real lightweight so literally thinking one or two drinks…. What’s the chances of avoiding a hangover with a prosecco and lemonade?! Baileys?! I know it’s first world problems but any suggestions much appreciated!

Vodka, soda and lime, a nice gin for g&t with a nice mixer, GOOD champagne. if you have to drink the cheap stuff or Prosecco add fresh orange for a buck fizz…
and water in between…

'Do people actually get hangovers from two drinks?'

Sadly yes. It's unbelievably tiresome

I feel for you OP. I agree with the advice about pacing yourself and alternating with water. Good luck!

A lot if places have good non-alcoholic cocktails now. Also good non-alcoholic alcoholic substitutes.

@MissMistyy have you tried more than two drinks after cutting right back? I used to be able to drink loads but not anymore.

OP- Spirits, not wine. Stick to a fixed number and finish one drink first (no top ups). I prefer to drink early and drink fast (at xmas day lunch) so that I wind down in the afternoon, can drink more water and go to bed sober.
