Never drink carbonated beverages when drinking alcohol
Many people like to drink carbonated beverages, such as Coke or Sprite, when they drink alcohol, thinking that this "dilutes" the alcohol and reduces its "potency." This is not actually the case. From the perspective of the digestive system, the carbon dioxide gas released by carbonated beverages in the stomach forces alcohol to enter the small intestine quickly. The small intestine absorbs alcohol much faster than the stomach, thus increasing the harm. Moreover, under the action of carbonation, alcohol can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain, causing damage. Therefore, drinking carbonated beverages while drinking alcohol can actually speed up intoxication. Experts also point out that because these beverages contain a large amount of sugar and energy, mixing them with alcohol无形中 increases the intake of sugar and calories. Long-term consumption can affect health, leading to obesity and other chronic diseases. If the alcohol feels too "harsh," you can add some ice cubes. After drinking, you can have some light tea or diluted fruit vinegar, but it's best not to drink strong tea.
Another method is to drink two doses of glucose oral solution after drinking. Because the human body primarily relies on glucose to break down alcohol, glucose oral solution can speed up the breakdown of alcohol in the body and prevent alcohol poisoning. You can also eat some easily digestible starchy foods, such as steamed buns. Steamed buns can be converted into glucose, which is beneficial for blood supply and increasing physical energy. Due to its fermentation process, it also neutralizes stomach acid, and you will feel better after eating it. Additionally, you can drink a glass of milk or yogurt before drinking to protect the gastric mucosa from alcohol irritation.
