A primal New Year's Eve survival guide.

New Year's Eve approaches parties beckon, arsenals of alcohol accumulate.

Whether you venture out into the wild night or keep it quiet with close friends and loved ones,

that's me, people will probably offer you a glass or several of something containing ethanol to mark the occasion. As always, it's not about a right or wrong choice, but about assuming responsibility for your health.

I've heard a lot of readers over the years say going primal has made them much more sensitive to the effects of alcohol.

If you'll be partaking, you can gird your system to deal with the incoming toxicity. Now, a word of alcohol. If you'll be partaking, you can gird your system to deal with the incoming toxicity.

Now, a word of caution. This protocol may very well make you feel invincible. It might even reduce

the deleterious effects and increase the pleasurable effects of alcohol. That doesn't mean you should drink more.

Keep it moderate, maintain the buzz. If you go further, however,

I can't vouch for your safety. In the days leading up to the party, one, sleep well. Remember how

every tissue in your body has a circadian clock keeping rhythm. For your organs to work properly,

you need to sleep well and sleep consistently.

New Year's Eve throws that into disarray, so in the days leading up to a late night, proper sleep hygiene is vital.

Don't mess this up.

2. Limit omega-6 fats, emphasize mufas and SFAs.

Animal study after animal study each confirmed that high

06 pufa feeding increases liver damage in response to ethanol, while more stable fats like

cocoa butter and coconut oil protect against it. And if you do eat omega-6s, make sure they're in

whole food form, such as nuts, seeds, eggs, etc.
