Party snacks
It's all very well going to a party with good intentions but in reality who can resist a handful of nibbles with a glass of wine? The problem with snacks is usually salt. It creates a vicious circle. The more you eat the more you want to drink, and the more alcohol you drink the more dehydrated and hungry you get. A good way to quench your thirst and prevent dehydration is to alternate a glass of wine with a glass of juice or sparking water, or drink spritzers instead. The following ideas for party snacks should tempt your taste buds and satisfy your hunger:

2 slices of garlic bread - 300 calories
2 sticks of chicken satay with peanut dip - 268 calories
A portion of potato wedges with 2 tbsp sour cream dip - 280 calories
A large slice of Spanish tortilla/fritatta - 155 calories
Tortilla chips (50g) with 1 heaped tbsp guacamole - 294 calories

Post-drink munchies
After a long drinking session, your blood sugar levels will be low, so aim to eat and drink plenty of fluids before you go to bed. Fend off your pending hangover with these snacks:
