Alcohol-metabolizing enzymes generally cannot be increased, as they are usually determined by genetic factors. For individuals with low levels of these enzymes, consuming fresh vegetables and fruits in daily life may help, along with certain foods known to alleviate alcohol effects, such as grapes. Before drinking alcohol, it is advisable to have some porridge or food to protect the gastric mucosa.
