What Women Should Pay Attention to When Drinking Alcohol
1. Do not take a bath after drinking alcohol
After drinking alcohol, the glucose stored in the body will be consumed by physical activity during bathing, causing a decrease in blood sugar levels and a rapid drop in body temperature. Alcohol inhibits the normal activity of the liver, hindering the recovery of glucose storage in the body, which can be life-threatening and may lead to death.
2. Do not drink alcohol on an empty stomach
Drinking alcohol while eating slows down the absorption of alcohol in the stomach due to the interference of gastric acid, making it less likely to get drunk.
One of the characteristics of alcoholic beverages is that they are absorbed very quickly in the digestive organs. About 20% of the alcohol enters the bloodstream through the stomach, while 80% is absorbed by the small intestine, and then carried to various parts of the body. If there is food in the stomach, the speed at which alcohol is transferred to the small intestine will be slowed down. However, if the stomach is empty and there is nothing covering the gastric mucosa, alcohol will flow smoothly through the stomach and directly to the small intestine. The absorption rate is accelerated, and soon the alcohol concentration in the blood rises sharply.
3. Do not drink excessively
Drink alcohol slowly, pause from time to time, and avoid drinking carbonated beverages such as cola and soda, as they can speed up the absorption of alcohol by the body.
4. The best hangover remedy is not tea
It is not Sprite or cola either, but fruit juice, especially orange juice and apple juice, which can effectively alleviate the symptoms of a hangover. This is because they contain fructose, which helps to burn alcohol more efficiently.
5. Do not mix different types of alcohol
Mixing different types of alcohol with different ingredients and concentrations can cause discomfort after drinking, and may even lead to headaches and easy drunkenness.
Women can drink alcohol for health purposes according to their own taste. However, it is important to remember not to drink excessively, avoid drinking on an empty stomach, not to use tea as a hangover remedy, and not to take a bath after drinking alcohol.
