Mung bean soup, kelp soup, honey water, which one is better for hangover? The truth is...

There have been many tips for sobering up circulating on the Internet, and there are also many different opinions among the people about drinks that can sober up: tea, honey water, kelp soup, mung bean soup, etc., but are these popular methods of sobering up really effective?

We know that alcohol is a central nervous system depressant. Some people use drinks such as tea and coffee to sober up, hoping to use the stimulating effect of caffeine in them to sober up, but this is only a temporary solution and not a permanent cure. Moreover, caffeine has a diuretic effect, which accelerates the process of introducing acetaldehyde into the kidneys, which will put a burden on the kidneys. Therefore, drinking tea to sober up is not reliable .

There is not much research evidence on the hangover-relief effects of mung bean soup and kelp soup. Scientists speculate that their hangover-relief effects mainly come from the water in them, which may not be much different from drinking a lot of water .

Honey water is also a frequently mentioned hangover-relief drink. One of the main components of honey is fructose, which can promote alcohol metabolism in the body, but the hangover-relief effect of drinking a few glasses of honey water is almost negligible. Moreover, honey water is unlikely to have an immediate effect on symptoms such as dizziness and nausea after being drunk.

So what should you eat after you get drunk? The key here is to drink plenty of water and be easy to digest .

Water itself can be considered as a hangover remedy. Drinking more water after drinking can help alcohol to be excreted from the body through urine, feces and sweat . Eating fruits and vegetables rich in water, as well as porridge, noodle soup and other foods after drinking can also have a similar effect . Fruits and vegetables can supplement vitamin C, and eating some soft and rotten food can also relieve the irritation of alcohol on the gastrointestinal mucosa. In short, drinking more water after drinking is always a good choice.
