Drink slowly
On average, it takes your body about an hour to “digest” 30ml of alcohol. Therefore, the faster you drink, the less able your body is to resist the “attack” of alcohol.
Combine eating while drinking
No matter how happy you are, you should eat and drink at the same time. You should drink slowly to give your body time to metabolize the alcohol you have consumed to avoid the residual alcohol from drinking too quickly from entering your blood, easily causing poisoning.
The most suitable foods before each “drinking party” are milk and pig liver. Pig liver is not only rich in nutrients but also enhances the body’s resistance to alcohol.
In addition, people who regularly drink alcohol will have a vitamin B deficiency, and pork liver is the richest source of vitamin B supplements.
You can also eat foods like white radish, white cabbage, celery, dishes made from green beans, dishes high in oil and fat, fruits like oranges, lemons, tangerines, strawberries... while drinking alcohol.
These foods will help neutralize, reduce the amount of alcohol absorbed or break down the alcohol in wine, helping you to still be able to clink glasses without getting too drunk.
Absolutely no mixing
Mixing carbonated soft drinks and alcoholic drinks will make you drunk quickly. Because the reaction of creating bubbles will make the alcohol enter the blood faster. In addition, you should also avoid mixing alcoholic drinks together.

Vomit if possible
If you feel sick while drinking, go to the bathroom and throw up. Avoid holding it in or taking anti-nausea medication, as this will only hold back the toxins that your body is trying to eliminate.
After vomiting, you can replenish water, electrolytes and energy with a glass of fruit juice or lemonade. In addition, you can have a bowl of thin porridge. Porridge is easy to digest, making you not feel heavy in the stomach.
Try to exercise after drinking.
While drinking, talk a lot or laugh, this will help to evaporate the alcohol.
When you finish drinking, if you don't join in singing with everyone to sober up but go home, try not to lie down, walk around comfortably to sober up.
