The principle of drinking, of course, is to drink in moderation, the less the better. However, if you drink too much and can't control it, and feel dizzy and have a stomachache, you should find ways to relieve it. 120 Health Network http://www.120.net/ introduces six methods to alleviate the discomfort after drinking.
1. Self-induced vomiting (using your hand to stimulate the throat and cause reflexive vomiting) is not a recommended method because this action has the risk of inducing pancreatitis.
However, it is indeed the most effective way to expel alcohol, similar to gastric lavage. To minimize the risk of inducing pancreatitis, it is suggested to perform this action early when the amount of food intake is small (eat less food, drink and vomit at the same time). It is not recommended to induce vomiting after a full meal and heavy drinking.
2. Avoid drinking on an empty stomach. Eat some solid food before drinking, especially steamed buns, mantou, pancakes, and other "water-absorbing" foods, which can delay the absorption of alcohol in the stomach. Of course, some people report that eating high-protein foods such as meat, eggs, and milk before drinking can also reduce the irritation of alcohol on the gastrointestinal tract. Fruits and vegetables are said to have a certain effect as well. Apparently, the key factor is not to drink on an empty stomach.
3. Slow down the pace of drinking and don't drink too quickly.
The liver needs time to metabolize alcohol or excrete it through the kidneys, lungs, and skin, so slow drinking (over a longer period) helps control the concentration of alcohol in the blood and reduces discomfort.
4. Talk loudly while drinking, breathe faster, and "breathe out" the alcohol.
Alcohol can be exhaled through lung respiration, hence the term "alcohol breath." When drinking, don't stay silent; instead, talk loudly and increase your breathing rate. In this sense, singing is one of the ways to alleviate drunkenness symptoms.
5. Sweating is also an important method to accelerate the excretion of alcohol.
Sweat contains alcohol, hence the term "alcohol all over the body." Drinking in a slightly warmer environment or exercising to sweat (such as in a bar or disco) can speed up alcohol excretion and reduce discomfort.
6. Drink more water and urinate frequently.
People who frequently go to the restroom while drinking often have a higher tolerance for alcohol because alcohol can be excreted through urine. Drinking water while drinking accelerates urination, increases alcohol excretion, and reduces discomfort.
Additionally, there are health supplements on the market that claim to help with hangovers, mainly by protecting the liver and reducing damage to stem cells caused by alcohol. 120 Health Network http://www.120.net/ states that health supplements do not alleviate the feeling of discomfort. Even if someone feels a bit of relief, it is likely due to psychological effects.
