Effective ways to sober up that many people ignore

Some ways to sober up that many people still apply are taking medicine, lemon juice, and inducing vomiting. You should apply the following measures to quickly sober up without harming your health.

Associate Professor, Doctor Bui Quang Huy, Head of the Department of Psychiatry (103 Military Hospital, Hanoi) said that when alcohol enters the body, it is absorbed from the mouth to the anal mucosa, but mainly in the duodenum (90%).

First, they enter the bloodstream, affect the brain, causing inhibition in the cerebral cortex, leading to loss of control of behavior, speech, and more seriously, respiratory inhibition. Too high a blood alcohol concentration will cause coma. These cases are very difficult to treat, even with mechanical ventilation and intubation.

Therefore, the best way is not to drink alcohol. In fact, the consumption of these alcoholic beverages in our country is too high, especially during Tet.

Many people are also interested in how to sober up after drinking and try many methods such as taking medicine. But experts say that is not the best way.

After many years of studying the mechanism of alcohol's effects on the body, Dr. Huy said that when alcohol enters the blood, it takes 2 hours to decompose. After this period of time, the alcohol concentration in the blood is reduced by half.

They are excreted by complete metabolism in the liver, respiratory system or urine (10% intact through urine). Therefore, just leave it overnight, the alcohol will be completely metabolized without doing anything.

In case you want to quickly eliminate alcohol from the body, the best way is to eliminate it through urine.

“The simplest way to sober up is to drink plain water. If you find it difficult, you can mix it with 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,” said Associate Professor Huy.

According to doctors, hangover teas actually work by stimulating the drinker to go to the bathroom. In addition, vomiting is also a way to help eliminate alcohol quickly.

However, when alcohol has been absorbed into the body, vomiting pushes all the food out. If we continue to drink, we will be tired and easily damage the stomach.
