Can one really improve their tolerance for alcohol?

Are you answering your own question? Hehe, it can be developed through practice. But it’s still better to drink less alcohol; it’s harmful to your health!

I agree with what was said on the second floor. I am a victim of alcohol consumption, but drinking in moderation can still be beneficial for the body; definitely avoid smoking

Moreover, drinking alcohol only harms one’s own body. But smoking also affects the health of others; especially those with children at home, they must not smoke.

Actually, sometimes one has no choice but to drink; when living in the world, how can one avoid drinking? I really hate having to drink for work these days – it’s so hypocritical and frustrating. And it’s not enough even if I drink less; I really envy those who can drink a lot, because when they do, it only harms their stomachs and livers

It can be developed by drinking alcohol; one of my friends is an example – he couldn’t drink before, but after starting to work and having more social engagements, he can now drink a lot!

I get an allergy as soon as I drink it – how can I train then? It’s probably still related to an individual’s physical condition!

Except for those with allergies; those with allergies will develop red spots along with itching. But it’s hard to say about those who get flushed after drinking; some people have a good tolerance for alcohol.

Drink as little as possible; otherwise it can have serious negative effects, haha

One’s tolerance for alcohol can indeed be improved through practice; if you don’t believe it, give it a try. One of our colleagues used to not handle alcohol well, but after we pressured him to drink, he became able to drink more and more over time. In the end, we all couldn’t withstand it.

I might as well keep practicing, just to be prepared !

One can improve their tolerance for alcohol, but it’s important to drink in moderation as well

You don’t have to drink alcohol, but you must know how to drink it; and it’s even better if you can handle alcohol well. That’s just the way things are in this society – if you can drink well at the dinner table, you’ll be able to get along well. Hey

Could an expert give some advice on how to improve one’s tolerance for alcohol?

:loveliness: :loveliness: The original poster has covered everything very thoroughly; I agree and support this:victory: :victory:

Based on my own experience and information found online, I have compiled the following for reference. How to drink without getting drunk: The real tips for drinking (suitable for those who often attend social gatherings). 1. Do not drink on an empty stomach, as alcohol is absorbed more quickly in this state, making it easier to get drunk ； Moreover, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach causes significant damage to the gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to gastric bleeding and ulcers. The best way to prevent this is to consume fatty foods such as fatty meat and hooves before drinking alcohol. Another approach is to drink milk, taking advantage of the fact that the fats in food are difficult to digest, thereby protecting the stomach and preventing alcohol from penetrating the stomach lining. (It is said that drinking milk before drinking alcohol creates a layer of film in the stomach, which can protect it.) 3. When drinking alcohol, it is advisable to avoid stimulating beverages such as ice water and lemonade. Are there any good ways to drink more alcohol without getting drunk? Five minutes after drinking alcohol, ethanol can enter the bloodstream, and the concentration of ethanol in the blood reaches its peak between 30 and 120 minutes. The faster one drinks, the quicker the ethanol concentration in the blood rises, and intoxication sets in soon. This is not only because of its rich nutritional content, but also because pig liver can enhance the body’s ability to detoxify ethanol. People who drink alcohol frequently experience a loss of vitamin B in their bodies, and pig liver is one of the foods richest in vitamin B; therefore, eating boiled or stir-fried pig liver is an ideal side dish to pair with alcohol. Fruits such as sweet persimmons contain large amounts of fructose, which can oxidize ethanol and accelerate its breakdown and metabolism; sweet desserts have a similar effect. How to drink without getting drunk? It is better to move slowly rather than quickly. Ethanol can enter the bloodstream within five minutes after drinking, and its concentration in the blood reaches its peak between 30 and 120 minutes. The faster one drinks, the quicker the ethanol concentration in the blood rises, and intoxication sets in soon. If it is consumed slowly, the body has enough time to break down ethanol, resulting in less ethanol being produced and making it less likely to get drunk. Combine eating and drinking: eat some food before drinking to fill your stomach; never drink on an empty stomach. This is the key to not getting drunk when drinking. This allows the absorption time of ethanol in the body to be prolonged. When drinking alcohol, eating pig liver helps prevent getting drunk the most. Desserts and fruits: Eating some sweet desserts and fruits right after drinking can help prevent getting drunk. As the saying goes, “Eating sweet persimmons after drinking alcohol will make the taste of alcohol disappear,” and this is true. Fruits such as sweet persimmons contain large amounts of fructose, which can oxidize ethanol and accelerate its breakdown and metabolism; sweet desserts have a similar effect. To prevent alcoholic gastritis and dehydration, it is advisable to drink milk with sugar or honey added, as this helps accelerate the breakdown of ethanol while also protecting the stomach lining. Since dehydration leads to the loss of salts, it is advisable to drink some lightly salted water or rehydration salts in moderation. Moreover, based on some experience, taking a tablet of aspirin before drinking or during a meal seems to have a certain effect in reducing the effects of alcohol. How can I increase my alcohol tolerance when socializing? First trick: Redirect everyone’s attention to another person; have them toast that person, and then you can simply stir up trouble and pour drinks for others. But those who aren’t skilled enough at this might end up being blamed instead. So this trick also requires caution. Second trick: After drinking, keep the alcohol in your mouth and then use a napkin to wipe your mouth, thereby spitting the alcohol onto the napkin. This needs to be done discreetly, as it looks awkward if discovered. But once it’s noticed, it’s better not to use this method anymore; it can still help you get through the situation. Third trick: Replace the drink. This trick should only be used when you’re truly skilled at it, as it can easily be noticed if not done carefully. It’s best if your girlfriend does it for you, so that no one will notice anything. Fourth trick: Drink several times more than usual, then pretend to be drunk, and drink a little more afterward, so that others won’t notice anything. However, this approach will damage your reputation when socializing; it’s only suitable for drinking with scoundrels. I’ve learned this from my own experiences. If there are any better tricks, please share them below. Things to note while drinking and after drinking: 1. Don’t drink on an empty stomach, as alcohol is absorbed more quickly in such cases, making it easier to get drunk ； Moreover, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach causes significant damage to the gastrointestinal tract, potentially leading to gastric bleeding and ulcers. The best way to prevent this is to consume fatty foods such as fatty meat or hooves before drinking, or to drink milk; the indigestible nature of the fats in these foods helps protect the stomach by preventing alcohol from penetrating the stomach lining. Do not drink on an empty stomach; this is the key to not getting drunk from drinking. This allows the absorption time of ethanol in the body to be prolonged. 2. Do not drink it with carbonated beverages such as cola and soda, as the ingredients in these drinks can speed up the body’s absorption of alcohol. 3. As for after drinking alcohol, it is advisable to drink hot soup as much as possible, especially fish soup made with ginger slices, as it has a particularly effective effect in relieving the effects of alcohol. 4. Since alcohol causes significant damage to the liver, it is advisable to consume more leafy vegetables when drinking alcohol, as their antioxidants and vitamins can protect the liver. You can also eat some soy products, as the lecithin in them has a protective effect on the liver. 5. The popular belief that drinking strong tea can help relieve the effects of alcohol has no scientific basis. Tea polyphenols in tea do have a certain protective effect on the liver, but the theophylline contained in strong tea can cause blood vessels to constrict and blood pressure to rise, thereby exacerbating headaches. Therefore, it is advisable to drink mild tea after drinking alcohol, rather than strong tea. If someone drinks too much against their will, they can eat some fruit or drink some juice afterwards, as the acidic components in fruit and juice can neutralize alcohol. Many people tend to skip meals after drinking, which is even more harmful; they should eat something easy to digest, such as a bowl of noodles, which is an excellent choice. 6. It’s better to go slowly rather than quickly. Five minutes after drinking alcohol, ethanol can enter the bloodstream, and the concentration of ethanol in the blood reaches its peak between 30 and 120 minutes. The faster one drinks, the quicker the ethanol concentration in the blood rises, and intoxication sets in soon. If it is consumed slowly, the body has enough time to break down ethanol, resulting in less ethanol being produced and making it less likely to get drunk. 7. Combine food and drink. When drinking alcohol, pork liver is the best food to eat as it helps prevent getting drunk the most. This is not only because of its rich nutritional content, but also because pig liver can enhance the body’s ability to detoxify ethanol. People who drink alcohol frequently experience a loss of vitamin B in their bodies, and pig liver is one of the foods richest in vitamin B; therefore, eating boiled or stir-fried pig liver is an ideal side dish to pair with alcohol. 8. Dessert with fruit. Eating some sweet treats and fruit right after drinking can help prevent getting drunk. As the saying goes, “Eating sweet persimmons after drinking alcohol will make the taste of alcohol disappear,” and it’s true. Fruits such as sweet persimmons contain large amounts of fructose, which can oxidize ethanol and accelerate its breakdown and metabolism; sweet desserts have a similar effect. 9. To prevent alcoholic gastritis and dehydration, it is advisable to drink milk with sugar or honey added, as this helps accelerate the breakdown of ethanol while also protecting the stomach lining. Since dehydration leads to the loss of salts, it is advisable to drink some lightly salted water or rehydration salts in moderation. 10. Remedies for hangovers. A hangover refers to the symptoms such as headaches and stomach discomfort that occur the next morning as a result of drinking too much alcohol. This is because after heavy drinking, liver cells are unable to process all of the harmful substance acetaldehyde, leading to symptoms of acute poisoning. During a hangover, the liver accumulates fat; the gastrointestinal tract is prone to alcoholic acute gastritis; disruptions in the balance of the autonomic nervous system lead to an accelerated heart rate; and imbalances in water and electrolytes in the blood occur, with effects spreading throughout the body. It’s best to resolve it by “sleeping and resting”; adequate rest can help you recover faster. Taking a hot bath after drinking alcohol can promote blood circulation, aid metabolism, and help expel alcohol through sweat. However, people with hypertension or cardiovascular diseases should be careful of having a stroke while bathing after drinking alcohol, and it is advisable to rest for a while first. Alcohol dehydrates the cells in the body. Before going to bed, drink plenty of water, and have another dose upon waking, which helps alleviate the discomfort caused by dehydration. Drinking more juice or honey lemonade helps to rehydrate the body. Additionally, juice contains fructose, which can speed up the metabolism of alcohol and at the same time reduce nausea symptoms. Eating a well-balanced meal can replenish various essential nutrients that have been lost ； But one should eat lightly, avoiding fried or fatty foods. 11. After drinking the first cup, wait thirty minutes before having the second cup; if you want to have a third cup, you must wait an hour. But for the sake of your health, try not to reach for the fourth cup. 12. Don’t forget to add ice when drinking strong alcohol. 13. It is better to avoid drinking it on an empty stomach, when tired, or while taking a bath. 14. Never drink alcohol after taking medication, especially not after taking sleeping pills, sedatives, or cold medicines. 10 ways to relieve hangovers: (1) Mung beans for hangovers – Use an appropriate amount of mung beans, wash them with warm water, crush them, and consume them by mixing them with hot water or by cooking them into a soup.

Answer: After drinking alcohol, it is converted into ethanol in the liver, and together with the theophylline found in tea, it enters the kidneys rapidly. This places excessive strain on the kidneys and can damage their function. Question: Why can’t one drink alcohol in the morning? Answer: Because starting from 6 a.m., the level of ether in the body gradually increases, reaching its peak at 8 a.m. Drinking alcohol at this time causes it to combine with ether, resulting in fatigue throughout the day.

The person on the 16th floor is really thoughtful, hehe. Still, drink less alcohol and it’s best not to smoke – take care of your health.

I just can’t drink alcohol. I want to exercise and drink more, but it’s awkward not being able to drink when having meals with supervisors and colleagues. Hehe, drinking more is actually quite helpful for work; although it’s harmful to the body, there’s nothing you can do about that

Sure, but there’s a process and a limit to improving one’s drinking habits. It’s been over half a year since I started drinking; I went from someone who only drank beer to someone who drinks both baijiu and beer. I feel uncomfortable every time I drink alcohol… Anyway, it’s important to drink in moderation – drinking a little is good for mood, but too much can be harmful to health. Be a good person and improve your character; once that’s done, your behavior related to alcohol will improve a lot, haha

I can’t handle even one bottle of beer! ! !
