How to drink two liters of vodka and not get drunk, nobody knows. But to enjoy the drink at the festive table and not to harm the body can. We all on major holidays will raise a glass of champagne or a glass of vodka for health and happiness. Pleasant warmth will spread throughout the body. But what happens next depends only on us.
Regular and unreasonable consumption of alcohol in the long term, as you know, can lead to a serious illness - alcoholism. However, many are more interested in the immediate perspective: how not to get drunk at the table and find freshness the next morning after a meal? To solve this problem, it is useful to know the following.
It is widely believed that it is fat food that helps to resist intoxication, even if you drink two liters of vodka! It seems that there is even a scientific explanation: alcohol dissolves in fat and its absorption from the digestive system should be slowed down. Alas, comparing different diets in combination with alcohol, doctors did not find the ability of fat to prevent absorption of alcohol. Therefore, do not lean on fatty foods. From intoxication, she does not protect, but can create problems with digestion. In general, an abundant snack slows the onset of intoxication, but again creates problems with digestion: excess fatty, sweet and alcohol can damage the pancreas. So in everything, a measure is needed, no matter how good quality vodka and other alcoholic beverages are.
Gourmets came up with a lot of rules regarding the consistency of consumption of alcoholic beverages during a feast and, in their view, the optimal combination of drinks and dishes. Folk wisdom has acted easier, calling rersh many such combinations. Doctors do not particularly believe that vodka and wine form an unfavorable ruff, but the ability of carbonated beverages to increase the absorption of alcohol from the digestive system is known. This applies to both champagne and non-alcoholic carbonated drinks. The habit of not only mixing, but also washing down with vodka soda also increases intoxication. It is enhanced by the combination of vodka and beer.
Alcohol activates the throwing of acidic stomach contents into the esophagus, causing this sickness in people predisposed to heartburn. Can increase the impact of alcohol on the body of vinaigrette and other snacks with vinegar, because alcohol alcoholic beverages must be converted into our body in acetic acid.
Poor state of health the next morning after a plentiful libation is due in part to dehydration of the body, because alcoholic drinks contribute to the loss of water in the urine. So in the morning you have to drink a lot of fluids. Folk wisdom recommends turning to a cucumber or cabbage pickle, and not in vain. The salt contained in them contributes to the retention of water in the body and thereby improve the well-being. Some doctors nevertheless advise instead of a pickle to use alkaline mineral waters of type "Borjomi". The fact is that the internal environment of the body after alcohol is acidified, the brine further aggravates this acidification. Alkaline mineral water, on the contrary, not only supplies the body with salt, but also helps to eliminate excess acids.
Etiquette and traditions recommend drinking at the end of a coffee break. Coffee stimulates the brain, resists the alcohol, refreshes and helps after drinking vodka (in small amounts) not to get drunk. However, coffee, having a diuretic effect, like alcohol contributes to dehydration of the body. And, consequently, can increase the unfavorable state of health the next day.
Careful about alcohol, you do not need to go to extremes. Till now, some books frighten us with alcohol, contained in cakes, biscuits, cakes, kefir and even bread. There is alcohol in the cherries and some other berries and fruits. But these are the microscopic amounts with which our body cope without habituation. The consumption of these products will not lead to the development of alcoholism. Moreover, extremely small amounts of alcohol are formed in the human body. Synthesize its intestinal bacteria and the cells of our body. This is the memory of the organism about the distant ancestors of animals and plants that were able to receive energy only through alcohol fermentation. Of course, drinking two liters of vodka is not impossible to get drunk. But a little high-quality alcohol with a "proper" snack will not hurt anyone, and the mood will raise and the feast will make a truly festive.
