Simple ways to stop a hangover instantly
Many people think that hangover pills are a lifesaver after every drinking session, however, abusing these pills will be harmful to your health.
Hangover medicine does not cure alcohol as we think.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Quang Huy, there are many types of hangover cures on the market, but they usually combine 2 in 1 according to two mechanisms. First, the drug closes the pylorus (a sphincter connecting the stomach to the first part of the small intestine) before drinking alcohol. Accordingly, the alcohol will stay in the stomach, not go down to the small intestine and make the drinker feel not drunk.
After a certain period of time, the stomach's pylorus needs to open, and the alcohol will rush down, causing a greater impact. The amount of alcohol in the blood is so high that most people who take hangover pills cannot get up the next morning.
Second, hangover pills help metabolize alcohol. In this regard, experts emphasize that in reality, there is no drug that helps metabolize alcohol faster as many people mistakenly believe.
The hangover cures sold on the market, the main ingredients are vitamin B group, vitamin PP, B1, B2, B6. They can help metabolize but that is a later story, not immediately when drinking alcohol.
When you take medicine, it will stay in the stomach with the alcohol, making it difficult to absorb. Even if it is absorbed, it only helps the metabolism to be more favorable, not faster. Therefore, relying on hangover remedies and vitamins is a mistake.
As for vitamin B1, Associate Professor Huy warned that B1 should only be injected into the muscle, not to sober up a drunk person, but only to make the patient feel pain and remember, so that they do not drink alcohol again. Another thing to note is that if B1 is injected intravenously, it will cause shock and death.

Hook throat to quickly cut hangover
Associate Professor Huy recommends that men should limit alcohol consumption. If they drink, they should eat beforehand (especially protein and fat).
If you have drunk too much, the simplest way to sober up is to induce vomiting and drink water. If you find it difficult, you can mix tea or sugar water to make it easier to drink. The purpose of this is to go to the bathroom a lot to eliminate all the alcohol.
In the West, doctors often give patients tap water to sober up. Just leave it overnight and the alcohol will be completely metabolized without doing anything.
According to Associate Professor Huy, when alcohol enters the blood, the decomposition time is 2 hours, every 2 hours, the alcohol concentration in the blood is reduced by half. They are eliminated by metabolism in the liver, respiratory system or urine (10% intact through urine).
Sober up with fruit and vegetable juices
Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Quang Huy also gives some ways to sober up with fruit juices as follows:
Wash the celery leaves, crush them, squeeze out the juice, add a little sugar and drink slowly. This juice not only cures hangovers but also effectively reduces headaches.
Use 100-200g of dong leaves (leaves used to wrap banh chung), crush them, take the juice and mix with sugar to drink.
5g tea buds, 16g chopped fresh kumquat (can be replaced with dried kumquat) steep in boiling water to drink.
Drink tapioca starch with lemon juice, you will be awake after a while.
Crush white radish, add a little sugar, drink many times.
Eat dishes made from mung beans, can pound the whole shell and cook with sugar.
Take a fresh lemon, squeeze the juice and drink it, or slice it thinly and suck on it slowly.
