Essential for drinking alcohol

I. Before drinking alcohol 　　1. Before drinking, one should eat only until 70% full, and avoid drinking large amounts of water. (This is to keep the stomach in good condition for drinking.) 2. Half an hour before drinking alcohol, have a bottle of milk, preferably plain milk or milk with sugar, as this can help prevent alcoholic gastritis and dehydration. Drinking milk with sugar or honey can both promote the breakdown of ethanol and protect the stomach lining. Since dehydration causes salt loss, it is advisable to drink some mild salt water or rehydration salts in moderation. (The easiest way, haha.) 3. Do not drink alcohol on an empty stomach, as alcohol is absorbed more quickly in that state, making it easier to get drunk ； The best preventive measure is to consume fatty foods such as fatty meat and hooves, or drink milk before drinking alcohol; the indigestible nature of the fats in these foods helps to protect the stomach and prevent alcohol from penetrating the stomach lining. This is the main trick to drinking without getting drunk. This allows the absorption time of ethanol in the body to be prolonged. II. Alcohol 　　1. When drinking alcohol, it is best to avoid consuming stimulating beverages such as ice water or lemonade, otherwise the milk consumed earlier will have been for nothing ； 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. 　　2. When drinking baijiu, it should not be consumed all at once; it needs to be drunk in several sips. When drinking beer, one must wait until the foam has subsided before drinking; otherwise, it may cause mild abdominal discomfort at the very least, or even more serious consequences. 　　3. Drink yogurt between drinks – it goes without saying that acid + alcohol = water. 4. Since alcohol causes significant damage to the liver, it’s advisable to eat more leafy vegetables while drinking; 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. 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. 　　6. Combine food with drinks. When drinking alcohol, what to eat to minimize getting drunk? Eating pig liver is the best. 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. 　　III. After drinking alcohol 　　1. It is a misconception to think that vinegar or tea can help relieve the effects of alcohol; neither of them can do so. 　　2. It is best not to drink strong tea after getting drunk, but light tea can be consumed. Tea polyphenols in tea have a certain liver-protecting effect, but the theophylline in strong tea can cause blood vessels to constrict and blood pressure to rise, thereby exacerbating headaches. If someone drinks too much against their will, they can eat some fruit or drink some juice afterward, 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 some easily digestible foods, such as a bowl of noodles, which is very good. 　　3. 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 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. 　　4. 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. 　　5. If vomiting persists after drinking alcohol, immediately drink a bottle of mineral water to prevent vomiting blood due to an empty stomach. 　　6. Do not eat immediately after vomiting, especially foods such as barbecued items. 　　7. Before going to bed, remember to place a container by the bed, so that in case you wake up feeling nauseous while sleeping, you won’t vomit before reaching the bathroom. 　　8. The next day, if you feel stomach acid, take Weishuping; wait until the acid symptoms subside before drinking water. 　　9. It can cause stomach pain; other stomach medications can be taken as appropriate, but painkillers should not be used, as their effectiveness for relieving stomach pain is minimal. 　　10. For breakfast, hot drinks such as soy milk and milk can be chosen. For those who still need to go to work, energy-enhancing drinks such as Pulse or Red Bull can be chosen to ensure work is not delayed.
