As the saying goes, "No party is complete without alcohol." While relaxing in a KTV, people always remember to socialize over drinks or have some chilled beverages.
After finishing a song, having a cold drink to soothe your throat can be a real "pleasure," but it might also suddenly render you speechless. This is because after singing several songs in a row, overusing your voice causes the blood vessels in your throat to expand. At this moment, drinking something cold causes a sudden cold stimulus to the throat. It's like throwing a red-hot iron block into water; the blood vessels constrict abruptly, hindering blood flow and worsening the swelling of the throat's mucous membrane, which can lead to losing your voice.
Today's KTVs offer a full range of services, with various kinds of delicious food besides drinks. Many people often have a big meal before they start singing. In fact, just as you shouldn't exercise right after a meal, you shouldn't eat too much before singing. Snacks like puffed foods, salt-and-pepper flavored items, and spicy dishes can all harm your throat and digestive system. Therefore, people who love to sing at KTVs must resist the temptation of cold drinks. It's best to have some warm tea, like chrysanthemum or green tea, or mineral water without ice after singing. Additionally, try to eat less spicy food; light staple foods and soups should be the best choice. Besides that, you should also eat more fruits and vegetables.
