Can sugar help sober you up?

Nowadays, no matter what kind of meal you eat, you can’t avoid drinking. This may be a manifestation of etiquette in China, but it often causes many people to get drunk. It may be because they were forced to drink, or they may just love drinking and can’t stop. Therefore, quitting drinking is a very necessary method. Some people say that sugar can be used to sober up. Is this view correct?

No, the principle of hangover sobering up is to destroy the alcohol. However, you can consume some food to alleviate the harm of alcohol to your body. But don't use sugar to sober up, as sugar can be converted into acid. Alcohol is harmful to the stomach, and adding sugar will make it even worse. However, it is better to drink some milk, juice, soy milk and other high-protein beverages, because alcohol can damage the gastric mucosa. The gastric mucosa is protein, and milk is also protein. Drinking these can reduce the damage of alcohol to the stomach.

A few things to note when drinking

1. Before drinking, you can only eat until you are 70% full and do not drink a lot of water. (This is to leave room for drinking)

2. Drink a bottle of milk half an hour before drinking, preferably pure milk or milk with sugar. (It is said that drinking milk before drinking alcohol will form a thin film in the stomach, which can protect the stomach) 3. When drinking alcohol, you should avoid drinking ice water, lemonade and other stimulating beverages. (Otherwise the milk you drank before would be wasted)

4. When drinking white wine, do not drink it all at once, but drink it in several sips. When drinking beer, you must wait until the beer foam settles before drinking it, otherwise, you may suffer from abdominal bloating and discomfort at the least, or even severe constipation.

5. You cannot drink vinegar or tea to sober up after drinking. These are all misunderstandings. Neither vinegar nor tea can sober up.

6. If you vomit continuously after drinking, you should immediately find a bottle of mineral water to drink to avoid vomiting blood due to empty stomach.

7. After vomiting, do not eat immediately, especially barbecued food.

In fact, drinking alcohol is very harmful to people, especially drinking on an empty stomach, so everyone must pay attention! When you go out for social events and drink, you must be careful not to drink too much. If you have to, then that's understandable. But everyone should try to drink less. Drinking a little every day is a guarantee of health, but drinking too much is a taboo for your health.
