Every year, 1.8 million people worldwide die from drinking alcohol. In addition to alcohol driving, a large proportion of the causes are related to carelessness after drinking. So know what things are not suitable to do after drinking. Let's take a look at what men can't do after drinking!
Don't go to bed immediately after drinking
Alcohol is digested by the liver and immediately sleeps. The metabolism of the human body is slow, which is harmful to the liver and can easily lead to alcoholic liver disease. It is recommended to wash your face with cold water after drinking, and then sit and rest for a while. If you drink too much, don't let it fall asleep naturally. If you have severe alcoholism, it is likely that you won't wake up for a while. In this case, your family should accompany you, wake up the drunk every two hours, and feed some boiled water until you completely sober up.
Don't take sober pills after drinking
Antialcoholic drugs can temporarily relieve people of symptoms of drunkenness, but in fact, they can prolong the duration of drunkenness. It is recommended to drink plenty of water. In addition, you can also drink sports drinks to supplement electrolytes.
Don't sleep on the electric blanket after drinking
When drinking too much, the body temperature regulation function is impaired, and the loss of heat increases, which can easily make people feel cold all over. At this time, you should keep warm, but don't sleep on an electric blanket, especially for people with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as hypertension and coronary heart disease. After drinking, blood vessels expand, heart rate and metabolism accelerate, blood pressure increases, and it is easy to induce diseases such as myocardial infarction and angina. If you feel cold, you can use a duvet or hot water bag to keep warm, and drink more hot water, but the temperature should not be too high to avoid burns.
Don't drink too much coffee, strong tea, or soda after drinking
Don't drink a lot of coffee after drinking to avoid worsening water shortage; Also, don't drink strong tea, which excites the heart too much and is bad for the kidneys. Do not drink soda, otherwise it will accelerate the body's absorption of alcohol, which is harmful to the liver, and can also induce acute gastritis.
Don't take antipyretics after drinking
Alcohol can react chemically with most drugs and produce toxic substances. In particular, antipyretic drugs should not be taken, as the hydroxyphenylacetamide in them produces toxic substances that can cause liver inflammation and even permanent damage. If necessary, it is recommended to take ibuprofen 1 hour in advance the next morning. In addition, it is best not to take cephalosporins, hypoglycemic drugs, antihypertensive drugs, etc.
Don't take a bath immediately after drinking
Cold and hot water are not suitable. Taking a hot bath or sauna can easily cause hot gas to accumulate in the body and not emit, exacerbating drunkenness, leading to malignant vomiting and even fainting. Taking a cold bath, not only does it not sober up, but it also makes the liver unable to replenish the glucose consumed in the blood. In addition, cold water stimulation and vasoconstriction may lead to vascular rupture and colds.
Don't exercise after drinking
Alcohol has a diuretic effect, causing more water loss in the body after getting drunk, making it prone to dehydration. Exercise at this time can increase the risk of dehydration. Swimming after drinking is more dangerous, which can suddenly accelerate the body's heat dissipation, causing dizziness, hypoglycemic syncope, and leg cramps.
There are many things that cannot be done after drinking, and there are also many foods to relieve alcohol. What should I do if I feel uncomfortable after drinking? Try using the following fruits and vegetables to relieve alcohol. Honey: Honey contains a special ingredient that can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol and alleviate headache symptoms, especially those caused by red wine.
Have a cup of anti alcoholic tea after drinking, right?
Many people like to drink strong tea after drinking, and they believe that a cup of strong tea after drinking has the effect of relieving alcohol and benefiting health. Actually, this is a misunderstanding. According to the theory of yin and yang in traditional Chinese medicine, alcohol has a pungent taste, enters the lungs, governs the skin, and the lungs and large intestine are external and internal. Drinking alcohol should have the characteristics of promoting yang and dispersing, making the yang qi rise, strengthening the lung qi, and promoting the circulation of qi and blood. Tea has a bitter taste, belongs to yin, and is mainly used for lowering blood pressure. Drinking tea after drinking will drive the alcohol in the kidneys. The kidney governs water, and the water is wet, resulting in cold stagnation. Cold stagnation can lead to frequent urination, impotence, testicular pain, and dry stool.
Modern medicine confirms this through biochemical changes in tea drinkers after drinking alcohol. After drinking alcohol, alcohol in alcohol enters the bloodstream through the gastrointestinal tract, and is converted into acetaldehyde in the liver, which is then converted to acetic acid, which is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water and discharged. When drinking tea, theophylline in tea can quickly exert diuretic effects on the kidneys, thereby promoting the premature entry of undecomposed acetaldehyde into the kidneys. Acetaldehyde is a harmful substance that is highly irritating to the kidneys. "The kidney does not have this detoxification function, so it can affect renal function. People who often drink strong tea after drinking alcohol are prone to kidney disease.". Moreover, the alcohol in alcohol has a strong cardiovascular stimulation and has the effect of stimulating the heart, so drinking tea after drinking is even more harmful for heart disease patients.
