1, Six Principles of Healthy Drinking
1. Wine should not be drunk with coffee.
Alcohol is harmful to the body, and caffeine has the functions of excitement, refreshing and strengthening the stomach. If it's excessive,
It may also lead to poisoning. If alcohol and coffee are drunk together, it will add fuel to the fire, which will aggravate the damage to the brain, stimulate blood vessel dilation, speed up blood circulation and increase the cardiovascular burden, causing many times more harm than drinking alone, and even endanger life.
2. Don't drink after catching a cold.
Drinking with a cold will aggravate the illness. Because cold patients, especially severe patients, are mostly accompanied by fever symptoms, they usually take antipyretics at this time, usually paracetamol. Once you drink white wine and spirits, its metabolites will cause serious damage to the liver until it is completely necrotic.
Patients with liver disease should give up drinking.
Patients with acute hepatitis, fatty liver, cirrhosis, liver disease and diabetes are absolutely forbidden to drink alcohol, including beer. In the recovery period of hepatitis and chronic persistent hepatitis, beer can be properly drunk when the liver function is basically normal, because beer can promote the secretion of digestive juice and stimulate appetite. At the same time, beer also contains a variety of amino acids and B vitamins, but generally it should not exceed half a liter a day.
4. It is not advisable to drink tea after drinking
Drinking tea after drinking is not a good habit. Because 80% of alcohol after drinking is gradually decomposed into water and carbon dioxide by the liver, it plays a role in hangover. This decomposition usually takes 2-4 hours. If you drink tea immediately after drinking, acetaldehyde in the wine will be excreted through the kidney quickly, which will damage the kidney and reduce its function. At the same time, drinking too much tea and drinking too much water will also increase the burden on the heart and kidneys, which is even worse for patients with coronary heart disease with hypertension and angina pectoris. Therefore, it is best to eat some fruits such as pears and watermelons after drinking.
It is not advisable to take medicine after drinking.
Alcohol contains different degrees of alcohol, and there are hundreds of drugs taken after drinking, which will increase side effects. If you take drugs such as furazolidone and glibenclamide after drinking, you will have arrhythmia, hypertension and other reactions; Another example is taking sedatives, sleeping pills, antiepileptic drugs, antiallergic drugs, antihypertensive drugs and so on. After drinking, on the one hand, it can increase the inhibitory effect on the brain, on the other hand, it makes the power of drugs increase sharply, exceeding the normal tolerance of human body, which is dangerous. In particular, people who are old and weak or suffer from heart, liver and kidney diseases should avoid taking drugs after drinking.
6. Don't watch TV after drinking.
Drinking will make your eyes bloodshot. If you drink too much, the harmful ingredients in the wine will cause serious damage to your eyes, which can shrink the optic nerve and even lead to blindness. Watching TV will reduce vision, while drinking will damage the optic nerve. Doing both at the same time is tantamount to adding fuel to the fire, which is extremely harmful to vision. Therefore, don't watch TV after drinking, especially for the elderly.
2. The misunderstanding of drinking
First, wine and drinks are very fashionable.
Nowadays, drinking with drinks has become a drinking fashion. Red wine with sprite, whisky with iced tea, beer with coke, there are countless "mix and match" combinations. Because the wine mixed in the drink has a low concentration, it feels like drinking a drink, so many people have a special liking for it.
However, experts warn that carbonated drinks, which are usually used to mix wine, release carbon dioxide gas in the stomach, which will force alcohol to enter the small intestine quickly, and the small intestine absorbs alcohol much faster than the stomach, thus increasing the harm, and drinking alcohol is not good for health.
In addition, drinking with drinks, on the surface, dilutes the wine, but the result is easy for people to drink more and more. Because drinkers feel like having a drink at first, they drink hard, and once they feel the effect of alcohol, they have already drunk too much.
Second, white wine hurts people, while red wine nourishes people.
Many people think that drinking white wine is harmful to health, while drinking wine is beneficial to health. It doesn't matter if you drink too much. In fact, whether it is red wine or white wine, the key is to control the amount of good drink.
Experts point out that men drink less than 140 grams per week, while women drink less than 70 grams. If it exceeds this number, there is a risk of alcoholic liver disease. 140 grams of alcohol is equivalent to 3-4 ounces of 50-degree liquor, that is to say, adult men should not drink more than 3-4 ounces of 50-degree liquor every week, while red wine should be controlled at one or two ounces every day.
Third, it is not easy to get drunk if you blush when drinking.
"People who blush when drinking are not easy to get drunk", which is often used as a reason to persuade people to drink at banquets. But actually, drunkenness has little to do with face.
Some people think it's a good thing to be as red as Guan Gong after drinking. They think this means that the blood circulation is good and alcohol can be decomposed quickly, so it is not easy to get drunk. However, experts pointed out that the amount of drinking has little to do with face, and it varies from person to person. In fact, many people think that people who blush after drinking are not easy to get drunk because people who blush generally don't give up drinking, so they drink less. In addition, they will feel sleepy after drinking, and they will be full of energy after sleeping for 15-30 minutes, while people with white faces often don't know their bottom line and drink too much in high excitement.
Fourth, bacon sausage as an appetizer.
Never drink on an empty stomach when eating. If you can't eat something to pad your stomach first, you'd better drink while eating vegetables. At the same time, it should be noted that salted fish, sausages, bacon, etc. are not suitable for drinking, because this kind of smoked food contains a lot of pigments and nitrosamines, which react with alcohol, not only damaging the liver, but also damaging the oral and esophageal mucosa, and even inducing cancer.
In order to minimize the harm of alcohol to the stomach and liver and reduce the occurrence of fatty liver, it is best to eat something before drinking, such as drinking a glass of milk, or eating some eggs and meat, because these high-protein foods can react with alcohol in the stomach and reduce the absorption of alcohol.
Fifth, the feelings are deep and boring.
Some people like to drink fast wine and always advise everyone to "feel deep and stuffy, lick their feelings lightly" and "walk away" In fact, the speed of drinking should be slow rather than fast. If you drink fast, the concentration of ethanol in your blood will rise rapidly and you will get drunk soon. If you drink slowly, your body will have enough time warp ethanol, and the amount of ethanol will be less, so it is not easy to get drunk.
Sixth, alcohol and tobacco are not separated.
Some people think that "a cigarette and a glass of wine are as happy as a fairy." Especially when you are in a good mood, pass a cigarette beside you. At this time, even some people who are not used to smoking will say "I am very happy today" and take it and light it. But in fact, smoking while drinking is harmful to the liver and lungs. Because nicotine in cigarettes will weaken the effect of alcohol on the human body, which is equivalent to being "anesthetized" and will greatly increase the amount of drinking unconsciously.
Seven, a high degree of wine is enough.
In daily life, some people always think that low-alcohol wine is a mixture of alcohol and pure water, which is boring to drink, while high-alcohol wine is mostly brewed from grain, which is more exciting when drunk.
In fact, the higher the alcohol content, the higher the alcohol content. Because more than 90% alcohol enters the body and is metabolized by the liver, a large amount of alcohol increases the detoxification burden of the liver. The higher the alcohol degree, the greater the intake and the more serious the damage to the liver. In addition, when alcohol is decomposed by the liver, various enzymes and vitamins are needed. The higher the alcohol content of wine, the more enzymes and vitamins the human body consumes.
Eight, sudden abstinence is easy to hurt.
Many people are advised by doctors to give up drinking because of health problems, but a large number of people have never successfully given up drinking, and even continued their wine career on the grounds that "sudden abstinence will harm their health", so they should drink less if they want to be healthy.
Experts pointed out that some people think that "sudden withdrawal actually hurts the body" actually refers to a withdrawal symptom. People who have become dependent on alcohol may have withdrawal symptoms, such as shaking hands, palpitations, seizures and vomiting, if they suddenly stop drinking. But at this time, you should give up drinking, instead of thinking about drinking a little wine to relieve symptoms. In view of this withdrawal symptom, there are suitable drugs in clinic that can effectively control withdrawal symptoms.
Nine, drunk, pick your throat, vomiting
In daily entertainment, the "secret" adopted by many people is to "pick your throat" in the bathroom after drinking too much, feel better after vomiting, and even continue to drink. But experts pointed out that this is a "dangerous action."
Picking your throat to induce vomiting must be carried out when you are awake or with the help of medical staff, because drunken people are unconscious, and it is easy to inhale vomit and cause suffocation or even life-threatening. Secondly, severe vomiting will lead to an increase in intra-abdominal pressure, which is not only easy to cause gastric bleeding, but also reflux duodenal contents, causing acute pancreatitis and other emergencies.
Strong tea and coffee can sober up.
Some people think that drinking strong tea or coffee after drinking can "sober up", but this is actually a misunderstanding. After drinking strong tea, caffeine in tea can quickly play a diuretic role, prompting acetaldehyde (a substance that has a great stimulating effect on the kidney) that has not yet been decomposed into acetic acid to enter the kidney prematurely and damage the kidney. The main component of coffee is caffeine, which can stimulate the central nervous system and muscles. Drinking coffee after drinking will turn the brain from extreme depression to extreme excitement, stimulate vasodilation, accelerate blood circulation, greatly increase the burden on the cardiovascular system, and cause several times as much harm to the human body as drinking alone, and even induce hypertension.
