10 small habits to help you drink without damaging your liver

1. Drink in a pleasant atmosphere and chat and drink happily with friends and family. Happy wine can change your mood and bring energy to the next day.
2. Drink at your own pace. Don't urge others to drink or try to match their speed. Just drink at your own pace. Consider the liver's processing capacity, and don't force people to drink for the sake of courtesy.

3. Be sure to drink while eating, and don't just drink without food. Be sure to pair the drink with side dishes with high nutritional value, such as cheese, tofu, fish and other high-quality protein foods. Vegetables and seaweed are also recommended.
4. Don’t drink strong liquor directly. Don’t drink liquor with a high alcohol content directly. Dilute it before drinking.
5. Don’t smoke when drinking. The combination of cigarettes and alcohol can cause greater harm. The blood vessels that dilate due to alcohol will contract due to smoking, which will put a burden on the heart. In addition, the tar dissolved in alcohol will adsorb on the mucous membrane of the digestive organs. The principle of "don't smoke when drinking, and don't drink when smoking" should be followed.

6. Do not drink with medicine. Some strong medicines such as analgesics and alcohol will damage the gastric mucosa and cause gastric ulcers when taken together. Drinking alcohol and diabetes medication together can cause hypoglycemia. So, no matter what kind of medicine you take, don't take it with alcohol.
7. Don’t drink until late at night. It takes about 6 hours for alcohol to be completely broken down in the liver. Therefore, even if you drink a small amount, don’t drink after midnight, otherwise it will interfere with your work and life the next day.
8. Don’t drink alcohol every day. In order to protect liver function, you should develop the habit of not drinking alcohol for at least two days a week. If you drink it every day for a long time, there is a high risk of developing alcoholic fatty liver.

9. Do not drink more than twice a day. Drink beer during the day and white wine at night, as this will give your liver no time to rest.
10. Get your liver function checked regularly. People who like to drink often end up drinking too much. In order to enjoy fine wine with peace of mind, you must regularly undergo liver function tests, choose a drinking method that suits you, and manage yourself well.
