Can Kuding tea help to sober you up?

In China, whenever good friends or distinguished guests come, people will drink tea. From ancient times to the present, Chinese people have kept the habit of drinking tea after drinking alcohol, because most Chinese people believe that drinking tea can make the human brain excited and sober, and can achieve the effect of sobering up. So, can drinking tea really sober up? What kind of tea can sober up? Can Kuding tea sober up? Many people have doubts about this. Next, let's take a look.

In fact, tea has no effect on sobering up. According to ancient research, drinking tea after drinking alcohol is extremely harmful to the body. Li Shizhen said: "Drinking tea after drinking alcohol will damage the kidneys, make the waist and legs feel heavy, and the bladder feel cold and painful, and also cause phlegm and edema, diabetes and twin pains." Wei Yizun also said: "If you are thirsty after drinking alcohol, you should not drink water or sip too much tea. Tea is cold in nature and is introduced into the kidneys along with the wine. It is the water that stops toxins. Now the waist and legs feel heavy, and the bladder feels cold and painful, which are caused by edema and diabetes." According to the ancients' health-preserving methods, it is advisable to sober up with fruit after drinking alcohol, or to boil sugarcane and white radish soup to sober up.

Modern science has also confirmed that tea has no effect on sobering up. Gastroenterologists point out that using tea to sober up is a misunderstanding. Drinking tea after being drunk not only fails to sober up, but is harmful to the body. According to experts, the cationic alkali in tea will stimulate the kidneys and accelerate the diuretic effect. Due to the excessive drainage, acetaldehyde that has not had time to be completely oxidized and decomposed will be introduced into the kidneys prematurely, stimulating the kidneys. The kidneys are doubly stimulated by tea and acetaldehyde, causing excessive urination and overloading the kidneys. If this happens frequently, it will damage your kidneys. At the same time, due to the reduction of water in the body, harmful substances are residually deposited in the kidneys, which may cause stones and cause double damage to the body.

Based on the above, we know that tea does not have the effect of sobering up. Of course, the statement that drinking Kuding tea has the effect of sobering up is naturally not true. So everyone should pay attention from now on, don't drink tea after drinking alcohol. Drinking tea after drinking alcohol is not good for the body. If you want to sober up, you can eat some fruits or other foods.
