Attention: before trying a new method, think about whether your health allows you. Of course, it allows drinking, but here the hot bathroom in combination with coffee does not suit everyone, like sauerkraut with kefir.
From a variety of methods, we selected those that are not related to the cleaning of the stomach (enema, water with manganese, etc.). So, we begin our review of the people’s, and not only, wisdom!
Before the feast
1. A few hours before the feast, drink activated charcoal plus an aspirin tablet. The number of activated carbon tablets is 1 per 10 kg of your weight. This method has been tested personally on itself in the student years. With me, it works fine. And my classmate, who enrolled in the Medical University, advised him. And doctors, as you know, do not advise bad.
2. Drink 50 to 100 grams of vodka or cognac. Thus, many believe, the body somehow gets a “vaccination” of alcohol and already on the feast it will be easier for you to drink.
3. Before a feast drink an orange fresh.
4. A glass of milk. It slows the absorption of alcohol.
5. Drink medicines that help the liver. But only those to which you have no contraindications!
During the feast
1. Do not mix drinks. If you already drink wine with cognac, it is better to start with wine. Plus do not forget that cognac and vodka, although both are quite high in degree, but still they should line up in a certain queue. First we drink vodka, and then cognac.
2. In the intervals between toasts do not forget to drink more liquid, better than plain water!
3. In addition to the liquid, we do not forget about food. But here opinions diverge. Someone advises before sitting down at the table, to eat a small piece of butter and at the table there is more meat. Thus, the body forms a barrier and the alcohol is absorbed more slowly. Someone advises not to eat a lot of fat at the table, but rather prefer a simpler meal: potatoes, light salads, pickles, herring, poultry, fruit, sweet.
4. Try not to drink carbonated drinks at the table. They quickly carry alcohol through the body in consequence of which intoxication occurs much faster.
After the feast
But there are more than enough recipes, though, they are no longer as effective as early measures.
1. Is coffee a friend or an enemy? Here, oddly enough, opinions diverge. Someone advises to drink hot strong coffee without sugar with lemon and cognac, someone categorically does not advise drinking coffee. In any case, here you have to decide for yourself whether this drink helps you.
2. Lots of fluid before going to bed and in the morning. In general, after taking a large dose of alcohol, a lot of fluid and nutrients are removed from the body. Therefore, the main rule is the replenishment of the water-salt balance. That’s why it is often advised to drink a lot of simple boiled water, water with lemon, orange juice, mineral water, brine, effervescent tablets with vitamin C, etc.
3. Painkillers. Any pills that help you get rid of a headache. In my case, it’s just citramone – a combination of caffeine and vitamin C.
4. To drink a hot chicken or other meat boiled broth.
5. Some advise to drink some cognac or light beer. So to speak, to get drunk. Frankly, I’m not a supporter of this method and it does not always help. So it is better to use it in very severe cases.
6. Contrast shower and walk in the fresh air.
7. Mint tea. There is a soothing plus useful.
8. Honey. British experts from The Royal Society of Chemistry have authoritatively stated that honey is a great help in getting rid of a hangover, since fructose, which is contained in honey, turns the harmful effects of alcohol into acetic acid, which is then safely excreted from the body. So a snack with a strong sweet tea (mint or chamomile too, will do) eat a piece of bread with honey.
9. Various medications that can be found in any pharmacy. Starting from Alcozelzer, ending with Magnesia! Aspirin, Citramon, Amber Acid, Ascorbic Acid, Absorbents, Glycine, Activated Carbon, Mint alcohol, Smecta and much more. Do not forget about contraindications!
10. And most importantly, this is the presence of a strong shoulder, on which you can rely, a close person who will readily give you a glass of cold water and an aspirin tablet, will cook you a hot broth and pull you out for a walk with a dog or just for that matter.
These are not all recipes, there are a lot of them, and some simply amaze with their sophistication. So if you become really interested, you can click on the links below and find something else interesting.
And, most importantly, drink only quality drinks, eat well, do it all in good company and in a good mood!
I hope that among these recipes you have found something new for yourself and it will be useful to you. Although, of course, it is better to know your measure and to observe it.
