Some people explain that drinking a lot of tea can increase urination, thus taking away some alcohol that has been absorbed or unabsorbed by the human body, which is good for reducing poisoning. It is also said that drinking tea can make people's brains excited and awake, so drinking tea after drinking can make people feel better confused by alcohol, thus achieving the effect of "sobering up".
However, scientific research shows that tea can not only relieve alcoholism, but may aggravate the symptoms of drunkenness. Alcohol is strongly irritating to the cardiovascular system, and strong tea also has the effect of exciting the heart.

If tea and wine are added together to stimulate the heart, it will do great harm to the heart, and it is even more difficult to predict what will happen to the heart of people with poor function.
The harm of drinking strong tea after drinking does not stop there. If you use strong tea to sober up after drinking, theophylline in tea will stimulate the kidney to accelerate diuresis. Due to the rapid excretion, acetaldehyde, which can not be completely oxidized and decomposed, will enter the kidney in advance and stimulate the kidney. The kidney is stimulated by tea and acetaldehyde, resulting in excessive urination and overload of the kidney.
Usually, it will damage the kidneys. At the same time, due to the decrease of water in the body, harmful substances remain in the kidneys, which may produce stones and cause double harm to the body.

"Compendium of Materia Medica" records Li Shizhen: Drinking tea after drinking hurts the kidney, the waist and legs are heavy, the bladder is cold and painful, and the phlegm is swollen.
Modern medical research also points out that tea can stimulate gastric acid secretion, making alcohol more likely to damage gastric mucosa; At the same time, theophylline in tea, like alcohol, will lead to a faster heartbeat and increase the burden on the heart.
Therefore, you must not drink strong tea after drinking. Tea can not only be eaten, but also can not be drunk as water.
Many people will educate their children not to drink all kinds of drinks as water. Whether it's coke, sprite or iced tea, just taste it.
But these adults may not realize that they are making the same mistakes when educating their children. The kind of tea they drink every day can't actually replace drinking water.

Many people start from work, the first task is to make a cup of strong tea. Drinking from morning till night can really be described as "tea never leaves the mouth". But as everyone knows, this is an unscientific way to drink tea.
Tea and water are essentially different and cannot be substituted for each other. Dr Berman Gail of St. Mary's School of Medicine, University of London, clearly pointed out in his book "Drinking water has many benefits": "Tea as a thirst quencher is a wrong view."
Water is irreplaceable by any other beverage, especially tea containing caffeine. If you only drink tea water without pure water, it is actually no different from drinking coke without pure water for children, and it will have certain side effects on the body.
In modern tea drinking, tea cups with a volume of about 20ml-30ml are often used. Many people will think that drinking tea in such a small cup will not quench their thirst. In fact, the function of a teacup is to taste tea, not to quench thirst. If the human body really feels thirsty, it should be supplemented with pure water immediately.

There are poems to prove it. In "Seven Bowls of Tea Poetry" written by Lu Tong in Tang Dynasty, the feeling of drinking tea is described in detail: one bowl moistens the throat, and the other two bowls are lonely. Three bowls of heartbroken, only five thousand volumes of words. Four bowls of sweat, life is not smooth, scattered to the pores. Five bowls of bones and muscles are clear, and six bowls are immortal. I can't eat seven bowls, but I feel the wind blowing under my arm.
The first bowl is a throat-moistening kiss, and then it is mostly physical or spiritual feelings. We also have a playful attitude towards sitting and drinking tea.
Today, we advocate healthy living. Friends get together and advocate wine tasting instead of binge drinking. In fact, this concept also applies to our tea tasting. Making tea in a small pot and drinking tea in a small cup is as pleasant as drinking.
Only the beneficial ingredients in tea can give full play to their functions. At the same time, there is no need to worry about causing side effects because of drinking tea in moderation. If you take a big drink, or don't leave your mouth, you may get twice the result with half the effort.
To sum up, drinking tea can't relieve alcohol, so don't drink tea immediately after drinking it, so as not to have adverse effects on your body. Generally speaking, we drink tea for health care, but only if we drink it properly. If you don't pay attention to drinking tea scientifically, it will also be bad for your health.
