The ideal speed is the speed of drinking that does not exceed the processing capacity of the liver. The rate of alcohol decomposition by the liver is about 10 ml per hour. The amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the wine can be calculated by the degree indicated on the label of the wine bottle.
1: Drink at the ideal speed
The ideal speed is the speed of drinking that does not exceed the processing capacity of the liver. The rate of alcohol decomposition by the liver is about 10 ml per hour. The amount of pure alcohol (ethanol) contained in the wine can be calculated by the degree indicated on the label of the wine bottle. For example, 250 ml of wine with 16% alcohol content is used × 0.16=40ml, then the amount of alcohol is 40ml.
If a person takes 4 hours to finish drinking, the average amount of alcohol consumed per hour is 10 milliliters, just in line with the processing speed of the liver. Drinking at this rate can minimize the burden of alcohol on the liver.
2: Drink water to restore water balance
Alcohol can change the water balance inside and outside the body cells. Usually, 2/3 of the water in the body is in the cell, but after the increase of alcohol, the water in the cell will move to the blood vessels, so although the water in the whole body remains the same, it will also feel thirsty because the water in the cell decreases.
Whatever the reason, it is right to take in enough water. Since ancient times, "sober water" has been one of the ways to alleviate the discomfort after drinking. Mix three small pinch of salt in a full glass of water and drink it at once, which will stimulate the stomach and make the food easy to spit out.
3: Drinking sports drinks and fruit juice is also effective
When I wake up the next morning after drinking too much, my throat often feels thirsty. At this time, there is alcohol and harmful substance acetaldehyde in my body. I should try to expel it as soon as possible.
Drinks containing inorganic salt and sugar can not only provide water, but also eliminate alcohol in the body. Sports drinks and fruit juice have good effects. Especially sports drinks, whose composition is close to human body fluid, are easy to be absorbed by human body, and are not only effective for hangovers, but also can prevent too much drunkenness if drunk together.
In addition, the use of tea containing tea polyphenols and vitamin C, or the honey lemonade made from lemon and honey, is also very effective for hangovers.
It should be noted that no matter which kind of drink is too cold, the effective ingredients are not easy to be absorbed, so you should drink it at room temperature or warm.
4: Eat persimmons to help decompose alcohol
Persimmon is a fruit rich in fructose and vitamin C. It has been used as an effective food to prevent and eliminate hangovers in ancient times. The astringent ingredients contained in sweet persimmons can decompose alcohol; The potassium contained has diuretic effect.
Persimmon leaves also contain vitamin C equivalent to tens of times that of citrus. Its fresh and tender buds can be eaten by frying, or dried to make persimmon leaf tea.
