How Can I Prevent Getting Drunk Before Drinking?

In daily life, especially in social situations, it is difficult to avoid drinking alcohol. Generally speaking, if the human body is sensitive to alcohol, even a small amount of alcohol can cause intoxication. To prevent getting drunk, it is recommended to eat some food before drinking. When there is food in the stomach, the absorption rate of alcohol will slow down, which can prevent alcohol from quickly entering the bloodstream and reduce the irritation of alcohol on the stomach.

1. Drinking a cup of yogurt 40 to 30 minutes before drinking alcohol can react with alcohol and protect the gastric mucosa, reducing the absorption of alcohol. Therefore, drinking yogurt before drinking alcohol is a good choice.

2. Do not drink on an empty stomach. When drinking on an empty stomach, the body absorbs alcohol the fastest, and a large amount of alcohol suddenly rushes into the blood vessels, which can cause intoxication quickly. Therefore, it is best to eat something before drinking to cushion the stomach.

3. Eating diuretic foods or drinking a cup of diluted salt water before drinking can help the body excrete alcohol as quickly as possible, reducing the risk of getting drunk quickly. When drinking on an empty stomach, the stomach quickly absorbs alcohol due to the absence of food, and the concentration of alcohol in the blood rises rapidly. The liver is responsible for filtering alcohol from the blood. A rapid increase in blood concentration in a short period of time can lead to alcohol damage to liver cells and liver injury.

It is recommended to eat some food before drinking, preferably starch-based foods. Do not drink too much alcohol and avoid mixing different types of alcohol. Mixed drinking not only causes intoxication faster but also aggravates physical discomfort such as dizziness after drinking. If you have to drink quickly, drinking hot water at the same time can help accelerate the excretion of alcohol.
