The following methods may help alleviate symptoms of alcohol intoxication:
1. Rehydrate: Alcohol has a diuretic effect and can easily lead to dehydration. Drinking enough water can help replenish body fluids and relieve symptoms such as headache and nausea.
2. Consume high-protein foods: Protein can help the liver break down alcohol more effectively. Eggs, legumes, and nuts are good choices.
3. Take B-complex vitamins: Alcohol depletes the body's stores of B vitamins, especially vitamin B1, which may lead to fatigue and neurological issues. Consuming foods rich in B vitamins, such as whole grains, lean meats, and leafy green vegetables, can aid in recovery.
4. Antidotal medications: For example, naloxone is suitable for patients experiencing coma or impaired consciousness due to alcohol poisoning and can help relieve respiratory depression and promote awakening.
5. Get adequate rest: Sleep is an important time for the body to recover, so ensuring sufficient rest is essential.
However, medication for alcohol intoxication should be used under a doctor's supervision; self-medication is not recommended. Additionally, the best way to prevent intoxication is to drink in moderation or avoid alcohol consumption altogether.
