Drinking alcohol to entertain guests, year-end parties, meeting friends… is a common occurrence. Many people often get drunk at the end of the year, but still can’t avoid it. Therefore, the need for hangover remedies is always practical.
Avoid these dangerous ways to relieve hangover:
Frequently using hangover pills
Many people find hangover pills to be effective in quickly sobering up, so they often use them after each guest visit. According to information on the VNepress page, Dr. Doan Du Manh, a member of the Vietnamese Vascular Disease Association, said that many people use hangover pills as an effective measure after drinking a lot. However, the substances in hangover pills do not have the effect of repairing or protecting organs damaged by alcohol, nor do they eliminate the effects of alcohol on the central nervous system to completely reduce drunkenness.
The habit of frequently using hangover pills also increases the risk of high liver enzymes and side effects such as gastritis. In reality, there is no medication that can help reduce drunkenness.
Drinking carbonated drinks, energy drinks to sober up
Many people often combine alcoholic drinks with carbonated drinks, energy drinks to become more sober. This is a dangerous method. Carbonated drinks with high CO2 content accelerate alcohol absorption, affecting life. Energy drinks with high caffeine content make people feel alert, but it is the reason why the amount of alcohol consumed cannot be determined, so the more drinks consumed, the more serious the resulting alcohol poisoning.
Throat poking after getting drunk
This is a familiar act for many people because they think that poking the throat will make the body more alert. However, if the throat is poked without caution, sharp fingers or long nails combined with excessive force can cause damage to this area, even causing pain. This habit can cause esophageal injury and increase the risk of esophagitis and esophageal ulcers. Throat poking can also cause digestive disorders.
Taking a steam bath after getting drunk
Many people believe that taking a bath, steaming, vigorous exercise, and sports to sweat can relieve alcohol and reduce blood alcohol content. However, when alcohol is ingested, the veins will dilate. Suddenly encountering hot air will cause the blood vessels to dilate even more, leading to dizziness, sudden increase in heart rate, and even death from stroke.
Therefore, the best way is to reduce or avoid drinking alcohol. But if you are already drunk, you can apply the following methods to better relieve hangover:
Take gastric protecting medicine before drinking: Some types of food and gastric protecting medicine can help reduce the risk of hangover. These can create a protective layer in the stomach that prevents direct acid attacks on the stomach lining and slows down the absorption of alcohol into the blood.
Drink electrolyte solution Oresol
After diluting the electrolyte solution with the correct concentration, it can support the balance of electrolytes in the body, making you feel less tired.
Drink more purified water
Purified water helps to excrete alcohol faster and reduce the alcohol concentration in the body. However, you should drink water slowly to avoid drinking too much at once.
Drink tangerine peel water
Tangerine peel can also help relieve hangover by boiling it with hot water, then drinking it like tea. Ginger can be added to enhance the effect.
Drink fruit juice
Pure fruit juice with natural sugars such as grapefruit, orange, pineapple can help relieve hangover and reduce fatigue. However, you should not drink lemon juice because of its strong acidity, instead add a little sugar or honey. After drinking alcohol, many people experience low blood sugar levels, which can be dangerous. Therefore, adding some sugar or honey can help them stay awake and prevent hypoglycemia.
Drink pennywort water
Relieve hangover with pennywort by using 100g of fresh pennywort, two lemons, and 1g of salt. Rinse the fresh pennywort, crush it, extract the juice, and mix it with lemon juice and salt. Drink 150-300ml each time.
Before drinking alcohol, it is advisable to eat food to avoid getting drunk more easily.
