Every year, 1.8 million people in the world die from drinking. In addition to drunk driving, a large part of the reason is related to carelessness after drinking. So you should know what is not suitable to do after drinking.
Don't sleep immediately after drinking
Alcohol is digested by the liver and goes to sleep immediately. The metabolism of the human body is slow, which is bad for the liver and easy to get alcoholic liver. It is recommended to wash your face with cold water after drinking, and then sit for a rest. If you drink too much, don't let it fall asleep naturally. If you have severe alcoholism, you may not wake up at all. In this case, your family should accompany you, wake up the drunk every two hours, and feed a little boiled water until you completely sober up.
Don't take sober medicine after drinking
Anti-alcoholic drugs can temporarily help people get rid of the symptoms of drunkenness, but in fact, they will prolong the duration of drunkenness. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. In addition, you can also drink sports drinks and supplement electrolytes.
Don't sleep on the electric blanket after drinking
When drinking too much, the body temperature regulation function is dysfunctional, and the loss of heat is increased, which is easy to make people cold all over. At this time, you should keep warm, but don't sleep on the electric blanket, especially for people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. After drinking, blood vessels dilate, heart rate and metabolism will accelerate, blood pressure will rise, and it is easy to induce diseases such as myocardial infarction and angina pectoris. If you feel cold, you can use a duvet or hot water bag to keep warm and drink more hot water, but the temperature should not be too high to avoid scalding.
Don't drink a lot of coffee, strong tea and soda after drinking
Don't drink a lot of coffee after drinking to avoid water shortage; Don't drink strong tea, which makes the heart too excited and is bad for the kidney. Don't drink soda, otherwise it will accelerate the absorption of alcohol by the human body, be harmful to the liver, and induce acute gastritis.
Don't take antipyretics after drinking
Alcohol will react with most drugs and produce toxic substances. In particular, antipyretic drugs should not be taken, otherwise hydroxyphenylacetamide in them will produce toxic substances, which will cause liver inflammation and even permanent damage. If you need to take ibuprofen, it is recommended to take ibuprofen one hour in advance the next morning. In addition, cephalosporin antibiotics, hypoglycemic drugs and antihypertensive drugs should also be avoided.
Don't take a bath immediately after drinking
Neither cold nor hot water is suitable. Taking a hot bath or sauna can easily cause the hot gas to gather in the body and not emit, aggravate the drunkenness, and lead to malignant vomiting and even fainting. Taking a cold bath, not only can't sober up, but also can make the liver too late to replenish the glucose consumed in the blood. In addition, cold water stimulation and blood vessel contraction may lead to blood vessel rupture and cold.
Don't exercise after drinking
Alcohol has a diuretic effect. After being drunk, the body loses more water and is prone to dehydration. At this time, exercise will aggravate the risk of dehydration. Swimming after drinking is more dangerous, which will cause the body to heat up suddenly, causing dizziness, hypoglycemic syncope, leg cramps, etc.
There are many things that can't be done after drinking, and there are also many foods to drink. What should I do if I feel bad after drinking? The following fruits and vegetables can be used to relieve alcohol. Honey: Honey contains a special ingredient, which can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol and relieve headache symptoms, especially those caused by red wine.
Have a cup of anti-alcoholic tea after drinking, right?
Many people like to drink strong tea after drinking. They think that a cup of strong tea after drinking has the effect of relieving alcohol and benefiting health. In fact, this is a misunderstanding. According to the theory of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine, alcohol tastes pungent, enters the lung, the lung dominates the skin, and the lung and the large intestine are external and internal. Drinking alcohol should take the nature of rising yang and dispersing, so as to increase yang, strengthen lung qi, and promote the circulation of qi and blood. Tea tastes bitter, belongs to yin, and is mainly used for lowering. Drinking tea after drinking will drive alcohol to the kidney. The kidney controls water, and the water is wet, so cold stagnation is formed. Cold stagnation leads to frequent urination, impotence, testicular pain, dry stool and other diseases.
Modern medicine has confirmed this through the biochemical changes of tea drinkers after drinking. After drinking, the alcohol in the wine enters the blood through the gastrointestinal tract, converts into acetaldehyde in the liver, and then converts into acetic acid, which is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water and discharged. When drinking tea, theophylline in tea can rapidly exert diuretic effect on the kidney, thus promoting the undecomposed acetaldehyde to enter the kidney prematurely. Acetaldehyde is a kind of harmful substance with great irritation to the kidney. The kidney does not have this detoxification function, so it will affect the kidney function. People who often drink strong tea after drinking are prone to kidney disease. Not only that, the alcohol in the wine is very stimulating to the cardiovascular system and has the effect of stimulating the heart, so drinking tea after drinking is more harmful for patients with heart disease.
Some misunderstandings about drinking
Mistake 1 Baijiu hurts people, red wine nourishes people
Many people think that drinking Baijiu is harmful to health, and drinking wine is beneficial to health. It doesn't matter if you drink more. In fact, whether it is red wine or Baijiu, the key is to control the drinking amount.
Experts pointed out that the amount of alcohol consumed per week is less than 140 grams for men and less than 70 grams for women. Beyond this number, there is a risk of alcoholic liver disease. 140 grams of alcohol is equivalent to 3-4 taels of 50 degree Baijiu, that is to say, adult men should not drink more than 3-4 taels of 50 degree Baijiu every week, while red wine should be controlled at one or two taels every day.
Mistake 2: strong tea and coffee can sober up
Some people believe that drinking strong tea or coffee after drinking has a "sobering" effect. In fact, this is a misunderstanding.
Drinking strong tea after drinking, caffeine in tea, etc. can quickly play a diuretic role, promote acetaldehyde (which has a large stimulating effect on the kidney) that has not been decomposed into acetic acid to enter the kidney prematurely, causing kidney damage. The main ingredient of coffee is caffeine, which can stimulate the central nervous system and muscles. Drinking coffee after drinking will turn the brain from extreme depression to extreme excitement, stimulate vasodilation, speed up blood circulation, and greatly increase the burden of cardiovascular system. The damage to the human body will be many times greater than that of drinking alone, and even induce hypertension.
Mistake 3: It's not easy to get drunk when drinking
"People who drink and blush are not easy to get drunk", which is often used as a reason to persuade people to drink at banquets. But in fact, drunkenness has nothing to do with facial expression.
Some people think that it is good to drink wine and blush like Guan Gong. They think that it represents good blood circulation and can quickly decompose alcohol, so it is not easy to get drunk. However, experts pointed out that the amount of alcohol has little to do with the color of the face, which varies from person to person. In fact, the reason why many people think that people who drink blush are not easy to get drunk is that people who drink blush generally don't persuade them to drink, so they drink less. In addition, they get sleepy after drinking, and they are refreshed after sleeping for 15-30 minutes, while those who drink white-faced often don't know their bottom line and drink too much in high excitement.
Mistake 4: Preserved meat sausage is used for wine and vegetables
Don't drink on an empty stomach when having a dinner. If you can't eat something to cushion your stomach first, you'd better drink while eating. At the same time, it should be noted that salted fish, sausages and bacon should not be used for drinking, because such smoked foods contain a large amount of pigments and nitrosamines, which react with alcohol, not only damage the liver, but also damage the oral and esophageal mucosa, and even induce cancer.
In order to minimize the harm of alcohol to the stomach and liver and reduce the occurrence of fatty liver, it is best to eat something before drinking, such as a glass of milk, or eat some eggs and meat, because these high-protein foods can combine with alcohol in the stomach, react and reduce the absorption of alcohol.
Mistake zone 5: feeling deep and feeling stuffy
Some people like to drink fast wine, and they are always persuaded to "take a deep breath of depression and a shallow lick of emotion" and "take a walk".
In fact, the speed of drinking should be slow rather than fast. If you drink fast, the concentration of alcohol in the blood will rise quickly, and soon you will be intoxicated. If you drink slowly, you will have enough time to decompose the alcohol in your body, and the amount of alcohol will be less, and it is not easy to get drunk.
