Men often touch this place to sober up and prevent drunkenness

As we all know, alcohol is harmful to the liver. Experts tell us that if you want to sober up, you can easily do so by massaging an acupoint. Isn’t it quite fresh? I recommend you to take a good look at it. Maybe it can be used to sober up during the Spring Festival.

It is almost a common knowledge that drinking alcohol harms the liver. Although the liver here refers to the liver in modern medicine, from the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, drinking alcohol will also affect the liver's function of regulating qi and blood in traditional Chinese medicine. This is because alcohol can promote the flow of Yang Qi, and the liver is responsible for the regulation of Qi and the promotion of Yang Qi. The liver is yin in nature but uses yang, which makes it prone to hyperactivity of yang and deficiency of yin. In addition, the ascending and dispersing effects of alcohol make the yang more hyperactive and the yin more damaged. Therefore, drinking alcohol will damage the liver.

To sober up, you can massage the Guanchong acupoint.

Guanchong is the starting point of the Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian of the Hand. The Triple Burner Meridian is the airway and waterway. It has the functions of promoting qi and diuresis, refreshing the mind and opening the orifices, so it can sober up and prevent drunkenness. When performing the operation, pinch the Guanchong acupoint with your fingernails or toothpicks for 10 seconds each time, relax for 2 seconds and then repeat the pinching and pressing, and pinch and press 5 times with each finger on each side. When pinching and pressing, apply even force so that the acupoint can feel slightly sore. It should be noted that this method is only suitable for self-operation when you feel unwell after drinking but are still sober. If you are already drunk and dizzy, it will be difficult to point the button accurately, and it will not be effective.

In addition, this method cannot help you avoid drunk driving inspections, so don't use this method to deal with drunk driving inspections. Remember: Don’t drink and drive!
