In daily life, some people have the habit of drinking a cup of coffee after alcohol, thinking that "wine and coffee" can sober them up. In fact, it is not advisable to drink coffee after consuming alcohol. Nutrition experts say that after drinking, alcohol is quickly absorbed by the digestive system, then enters the circulatory system, and subsequently affects the gastrointestinal tract, heart, liver, kidneys, brain, and endocrine system. The brain is the most directly and severely affected. If you drink coffee immediately after alcohol, it can cause the brain to shift from extreme inhibition to extreme excitement, accelerate blood circulation, increase the burden on the cardiovascular system, and the damage to the body can even exceed that of drinking itself.
Within 30-60 minutes after drinking liquor, or 1-3 hours after drinking wine, the free alcohol content in the human body will reach its peak. During this period, do not drink coffee. Nutrition experts explain that the best way to relieve a hangover headache is to drink honey water, because honey contains fructose, which can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol and increase glucose levels in the blood. In addition, tomato juice is also rich in fructose, and eating tomatoes after drinking can also have a sobering effect.
