When men are in the workplace, it is inevitable to have a few drinks. To be able to outperform others at the drinking table, one must master the following health rules. Take a good look now, so that you won't end up lying down later!
The Stomach-Protecting Magic of Staple Food + Yogurt
Before drinking alcohol, eat something. This can provide some protection to the stomach and reduce irritation to the gastric wall. It also helps to dilute the alcohol and slow down its absorption. Yogurt is the best protective layer for the stomach. It is thick in texture and contains plant gum thickeners, which allows it to stay in the stomach for a longer time. Starch molecules can bind with alcohol, directly delaying its absorption. Fermented starch foods such as steamed buns, bread, and legumes work even better because alcohol can penetrate the helix of starch molecules, forming "inclusion compounds". Having a meal of steamed buns and yogurt before drinking is definitely more reliable than relying on hangover remedies.
Drinking Water in Advance Proposal
Before arriving at a dinner, drink about half a liter of water to activate the urinary system before drinking alcohol. This way, a portion of the alcohol can be directly excreted.
Rejecting the Proposal of "Downing in One Go"
After drinking alcohol, ethanol can enter the bloodstream within five minutes, and the concentration of ethanol in the blood can reach its peak between 30 and 120 minutes. If you drink alcohol quickly, the concentration of ethanol in the blood will rise quickly, and you will quickly become intoxicated. If you drink slowly, there is enough time for the body to metabolize ethanol, resulting in a lower production of ethanol and a lower risk of getting drunk.
