What to do if you have to drink? Learn 4 tips to reduce the harm of alcohol

There is no doubt that drinking is harmful to health, but some people inevitably need to drink in daily life. In this case, they need to learn how to reduce the harm caused by alcohol.

1. Avoid fasting

Before drinking, you should consume some staple foods or milk and other foods. These foods can help slow down the body's absorption of alcohol and reduce damage to the stomach.

2. Control your intake

According to my country's latest dietary guidelines, the daily alcohol intake of men and women should not exceed 15g. The following table can be used as a reference.

3. Don’t drink it with carbonated drinks, strong tea or coffee

Carbonated drinks will speed up the body's absorption of alcohol, making people drunk more quickly, while strong tea, coffee and other drinks will make people excited, causing them to drink more and more, eventually leading to excessive alcohol intake.

4. Drink slowly and in small sips

Many people like to drink alcohol in one gulp. However, this practice is not recommended. It is easy to take in too much alcohol in one gulp, which can easily make the body drunk and cause excessive irritation to the stomach.
