Things to note before drinking:

1. Before drinking, eat only until you are 70% full and do not drink a lot of water.

2. Drink a bottle of milk half an hour before drinking, preferably pure milk or milk with sugar, to prevent alcoholic gastritis and dehydration. Milk with added sugar or honey can not only promote the decomposition of ethanol, but also protect the gastric mucosa. Since dehydration will cause salt loss, you can drink some light salt water or rehydration salt in moderation.

3. Don’t drink on an empty stomach. Because alcohol is absorbed quickly on an empty stomach, people can get drunk easily; the best way to prevent it is to eat oily foods, such as fatty meat, pork knuckles, etc., or drink milk before drinking, using the indigestible nature of the fat in food to protect the stomach and prevent alcohol from penetrating the stomach wall. This is the main trick to not getting drunk when drinking, because it prolongs the time that ethanol is absorbed in the body.

4. Half an hour before drinking, drink a glass of montmorillonite powder. It can stick to the gastric mucosa and lock the alcohol, thus preventing it from being absorbed by the body.
