7 rules for a feast: how to reduce the negative impact of strong alcohol
1. Don't rush. The strongest drink must be taken slowly - experts advise drinking no more than 50 grams of cognac, vodka, or one glass of wine within one hour.
2. Before any feast or party, you should eat well - high-calorie food will significantly reduce the absorption rate and minimize the consequences of its intake.
3. After each drink, you should drink a glass of purified non-carbonated water.
4. It is better to add ice to the strongest drink - so it will become less concentrated, its degree will decrease.
5. While drinking alcohol, one should not smoke, since the acetaldehyde contained in tobacco smoke aggravates the poisoning of the body with ethanol, that is, the hangover syndrome.
6. Do not use alcohol as an antidepressant - its effect only increases the state of depression.
7. There is an opinion that a strong drink has a warming effect, but this is far from being the case. Once in the body, alcohol provokes the release of heat, thereby causing fever, but at the same time, the core temperature of the body decreases. It is worth remembering that alcoholic beverages cool, so their use in the cold season for warming is not advisable.
