It is inevitable to drink a few glasses during the Chinese New Year. Doing these things can reduce the harm of alcohol to the body

In daily life, we always recommend that everyone drink less or not drink at all, because the latest research shows that there is no minimum limit to the harm of alcohol. However, during the New Year and other festivals, it is inevitable to have a few drinks when families reunite and friends get together. Today I will teach you a few tricks to help you minimize the harm of alcohol to your body when drinking.

1. Eat something before drinking

Never drink on an empty stomach. Drinking on an empty stomach is very irritating to the stomach and intestines, and will also put a heavy burden on the liver. It is recommended to eat foods rich in starch and high protein before drinking, so as to avoid alcohol damaging the stomach. Please note that you must not eat bacon, salted fish, etc.

2. Try to choose low-alcohol wine

We know that the higher the alcohol content, the higher the stimulation, and naturally the greater the damage. In the same amount, strong alcohol causes more damage to organs such as the liver than low alcohol, and is more likely to make people drunk.

3. Drink slowly, don’t drink too much

When drinking, many friends like to drink heavily to show their passion, and even blow the bottle. However, they don't know that drinking heavily is very harmful to the body and can easily lead to drunkenness, alcohol poisoning and even sudden death. So you must avoid drinking heavily. It is recommended to drink slowly, eat and chat while drinking, which can also increase the emotional connection between relatives and friends.

4. Drink plenty of water during drinking

The harm to the body is not only the amount of alcohol consumed but also the alcohol content. As long as the alcohol content is low enough, the harm will be relatively small. Therefore, we recommend drinking more water between drinking. This can dilute the alcohol we drink, reduce irritation to the stomach and intestines, and also promote urination, reducing the burden on the liver.

5. Drink a glass of juice or light tea if you drink too much.

If you drink too much, it is recommended to drink some juice or light tea to relieve the effect. There is still no research showing that drinking juice or light tea can reduce the harm of alcohol to the body, but it can temporarily relieve the uncomfortable feeling of being drunk.

It is recommended that you keep these methods in mind and think about them when you drink, perhaps they can help you.

Finally, I would like to remind everyone not to drink alcohol while taking medicine or driving. There is no minimum dose of alcohol that can cause harm to the body. Don’t drink if you can avoid it, and drink as little as possible.
