Can drinking lemon water help sober you up?

People's lives nowadays are becoming more and more irregular, and many white-collar workers nowadays have to drink for social events, so they often get drunk. Being drunk is very uncomfortable. Some people will make a fool of themselves when they are drunk. Some people will experience headaches, nausea and other adverse symptoms the next day after being drunk. Some people say that lemon water can help to sober up. Is this true? Is there any scientific basis for this? Today, let’s take a look at whether drinking lemon water can help you sober up.

When drinking - drink slowly and drink more juice and water to promote urination

1. When drinking, remember not to drink ice water, lemonade or other stimulating beverages. Otherwise, the milk you drank before would be in vain; don't drink it with carbonated drinks such as cola, as the ingredients in these drinks will speed up the body's absorption of alcohol.

2. Drink white wine. Don't drink it all at once, divide it into several sips. When drinking beer, you should wait until the foam falls off before drinking. Otherwise, you may feel abdominal distension and discomfort at the very least, or even "live broadcast" at the worst.

3. Drink a cup of yogurt, acid + alcohol = water. Take the opportunity to drink more boiled water and fruit juice, especially watermelon juice, water chestnut juice, and honey water. Eat some fruits with high water content such as watermelon to help diuresis, quickly excrete excess alcohol from the body, and reduce absorption.

4. Eat more green leafy vegetables. You can also eat some soy products, the lecithin in which can protect the liver.

5. It’s better to go slow than to go fast. Ethanol can enter the blood within five minutes after drinking, and the blood ethanol concentration can reach its peak in 30-120 minutes. If you drink quickly, the ethanol concentration in your blood will rise quickly, and you will soon become drunk. If you drink it slowly, your body will have enough time to break down the ethanol, so the amount of ethanol produced will be less, making it less likely to get drunk.

After the above introduction, we should now know that lemon water cannot relieve drunkenness, but lemon water has many benefits to our body and can beautify the skin. If you can't help but drink too much, you can eat some fruit or drink some juice afterwards, because the acidic components in fruit and juice can neutralize alcohol. Drinking is harmful to the body, so everyone must try to drink less.
