Does drinking yogurt really help sober you up? Huaxi doctors: No! This is the only effective way

How can we avoid the harm caused by drinking?

Life

Hot pot, beer and barbecue

There was also someone who, when I was drunk

I really want to drink

Or when you have to drink

What should I do then?

Just try to reduce the harm of drinking.

For example, I used to drink a cup of yogurt with alcohol to sober me up, until a doctor from West China University of Political Science and Law told me that yogurt does not help with sobering up at all, and it cannot reduce the harm of drinking .

This is because alcohol is broken down by the liver, not the stomach.

It turns out that we have always underestimated drinking! Before drinking, we should at least know these drinking misunderstandings and ways to reduce the harm of drinking.

01

The drinking habits that may have been hurting you

Red wine mixed with cola, white wine mixed with some beef

Danger index: ☆☆☆☆☆

Whether it is Coke or Sprite, adding carbonated drinks not only does not reduce the concentration, but it will accelerate the body's absorption of alcohol due to carbon dioxide, causing discomfort after drinking.

On the other hand, functional drinks such as milk contain caffeine, electrolytes, and taurine , which will increase the burden on the heart under the influence of alcohol and cause adverse reactions such as chest tightness and palpitations .

Drinking milk to sober up

Danger Index: ☆☆

It is rumored that drinking milk can help sober you up. In fact, the protein in milk and alcohol cannot combine, but drinking milk before drinking alcohol can protect your stomach and intestines.

In addition, if the patient drinks a lot of alcohol and suffers from frequent nausea and vomiting, drinking milk at this time may cause a feeling of abdominal distension and aggravate the feeling of vomiting.

Drinking tea to sober up

Danger Index: ☆☆☆

Strong tea contains theophylline, which can help the kidneys to play a diuretic role, but at the same time, it will promote the premature entry of acetaldehyde that has not yet been decomposed into the kidneys.

Alcohol is irritating to the cardiovascular system, and strong tea also has a stimulating effect on the heart. The combination of the two may cause diseases such as arrhythmia.

So, drinking alcohol is harmful to the body and hangover sobering up is useless, so is there really no way to reduce the harm of drinking?

Don't panic!!! Yes!!!

Ways to actually reduce the harm of drinking

① Eat more grains before drinking

The alcohol metabolism process consumes a lot of vitamin B1, and grains are rich in vitamin B1.

The starch in staple foods will produce glucuronic acid during metabolism in the human body, reducing the damage of alcohol to the liver; food can protect the stomach and prevent direct contact between the stomach and alcohol.

So, don't drink on an empty stomach .

Unless you want to get drunk quickly.

② Avoid mixing with carbonated drinks or other alcoholic beverages

Carbonated drinks contain carbon dioxide, which will accelerate the body's absorption of alcohol. Different types of alcohol have different ingredients and contents. When multiple alcohols are mixed, it is easy to cause headaches and drunkenness.

Don't wait until the next day when you have a headache, it will be too late to regret.

③ Eat green leafy vegetables and soy products while drinking

Green leafy vegetables contain vitamins and antioxidants, and soy products are rich in lecithin, all of which can protect the liver.

Promise me that you’ll be good to your sweetheart.

④ Drink more water

Drinking more water and urinating more often will help metabolize alcohol.

So stop looking down on people who go to the toilet after drinking. It’s not that they are “incapable”, but that they are metabolizing the alcohol vigorously.

⑤ Juice hangover

Milk, yogurt and tea cannot sober you up, but fruit juice can.

Especially orange juice and apple juice, the fruit acid in them can promote the decomposition of alcohol .

⑥ Don’t take a shower immediately after drinking

Taking a shower immediately after drinking alcohol will consume glucose due to physical activity, causing a decrease in blood sugar in the body. Alcohol inhibits liver activity, and blood sugar cannot be replenished in time, causing a sharp drop in body temperature, which is life-threatening.

In addition, hot water promotes blood circulation, while ethanol will dilate blood vessels in the skin, and in severe cases may even cause collapse or shock.

Even if you reek of alcohol, you cannot take a shower immediately . Have some sleep first. Saving your life is the most important thing.

⑦ Control alcohol intake

Don't "show off to everyone", don't drink too much, and don't "stay drunk".

As the saying goes, lobster and wine make a lasting couple, hot pot and beer make a whole night of drinking, and barbecue and wine make the more you drink, the more you enjoy.

Having said so much, in fact, the most effective way to reduce the harm of alcohol is to reduce the amount of alcohol intake .

A little drinking can make you happy, but drinking too much can hurt your body, and drinking too much... probably got made into an emoticon and played repeatedly in the friend group. Don't ask me how I know...
