Went to party last night, wake up in some strange place, having enormous headache and no memories about last night? Congratulations, you have a hangover! But what is it and how to avoid it? Continue reading and you’ll find out…
Alcoholism is a very common thing all over the world. People keep talking about it but yet it causes many deaths every year. Probably too many people don’t realize dangers about alcohol, so I’m trying to explain it once over. I’m a car mechanic from East Europe, building cars and bikes is my hobby, work and passion. But several years ago I was an alcoholic also. My dad died because of alcohol, yet I didn’t realize all the dangers about alcoholic drinks. I’m thinking, maybe many people struggling with alcoholism just don’t have enough motivation to get over it - in my case my wife helped me to get over. Now I know, that I’m not able to do other things in life when I’m drunk, and I find building cars million times more interesting than being drunk :)
So, in this article I point out some important facts about alcohol and avoiding hangover.
My grandma once said, “vodka is a drink for wise men”, now I understand what she meant. Alcohol is for people who know how much to drink and when to drink.
So let’s get to the point.
Important facts about alcohol:
* Hangover comes from alcohol toxines and body fluid loss.
* Biggest headaches come from red wine, because it contains more toxins than other alcoholic drinks.
* Alcohol drives sugar out of your body. Insufficient sugar makes body weak.
* Liver gets an extra job - it has to get rid of alcohol toxines. It can get rid of toxines from one shot of vodka within an hour.
Most liver diseases come from alcohol abuse.
* Kidneys get some extra work to do also. They have to drive bad fluids out of your body, when you’re drinking too much they can’t cope with it.
* Vitamin deficiency (mostly B1) also comes from alcohol overuse.
* Serious hangover can cause heart attack.
How to avoid hangover:
* Drink slowly.
* If you’re drinking whiskey, pour some water in it. You can add a slice of lemon to get better taste.
* Eat honey before drinking alcohol, so you keep your body’s sugar levels normal.
* Avoid fatty foods, these slow down liver functions.
* Do not drink coffee, it causes your body to dehydrate more.
* To avoid throwing up use ginger or smell peppermint oil.
* Eat proper meal before going to party. When your stomach is full, your body acquires alcohol more slowly.
* And the most important tip to avoid hangover - DO NOT DRINK ALCOHOL! :)
