Effective methods to alleviate alcohol:
1. Honey water: Honey water contains abundant glucose and fructose, which can promote the breakdown of alcohol in the body and alleviate symptoms such as headache and fatigue. Its diuretic effect also helps accelerate the elimination of alcohol.
2. Milk or yogurt: These high-protein beverages can form a protective layer in the stomach, delaying alcohol absorption while accelerating the filtration of alcohol through the glomerulus, thus speeding up alcohol elimination. The lactic acid in yogurt can also undergo esterification with alcohol, further promoting alcohol metabolism.
3. Fruit juice: Such as watermelon juice, grape juice, and orange juice, these fruit juices not only contain large amounts of water, which aids in diuresis and alcohol elimination, but also contain fructose that can interact with ethanol to accelerate alcohol breakdown.
4. Vegetable juice: Such as tomato juice and celery juice, these vegetable juices are rich in dietary fiber and vitamins, which help protect the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, enhance gastrointestinal motility, and accelerate alcohol breakdown and elimination.
If severe discomfort occurs after drinking alcohol, timely medical treatment should be sought.
