There are two types of people who drink alcohol. One type drinks for work purposes, such as entertaining clients, without having an addiction to alcohol. However, over time, they may develop fatty liver or alcoholic liver disease. The other type of person is a heavy drinker who enjoys the intoxicating effects of alcohol. This group is at high risk of developing alcoholic liver cirrhosis, which can be fatal.
Remedies: Completely quit drinking. When faced with work-related social events, try to avoid drinking if possible, and if you do drink, drink in moderation. It is also important to not drink on an empty stomach. Before, during, and after drinking, there are different approaches to minimize the harmful effects of alcohol: before drinking, eat fruits or drink fresh fruit juice to replenish vitamin C in the body, which can effectively reduce the damage caused by alcohol toxins; during drinking, have a cup of yogurt to dilute the concentration of alcohol and toxic substances.
Yogurt contains fermented proteins that are easily absorbed by the body, and the slight sweetness of yogurt not only enhances the taste but also has a hepatoprotective effect. After drinking, take liver-protective and hangover-relieving medications or foods immediately.
