What to Consider When Drinking Alcohol
When consuming alcohol, it is important to avoid drinking too quickly as it can cause discomfort and hinder the body's absorption of alcohol. It is recommended to drink slowly. Additionally, mixed alcoholic beverages have complex ingredients, so it is advised to drink in moderation to avoid discomfort from hangovers.
