There are various ways to alleviate the effects of alcohol. Patients can drink some honey water or glucose before drinking, which helps promote gastrointestinal motility and accelerate alcohol metabolism, while also diluting the concentration of alcohol in the stomach and reducing damage to the gastric mucosa. Additionally, after drinking, one can consume large amounts of warm water to speed up alcohol metabolism in the body and reduce its adverse effects.
