Every year, more than one million people die worldwide from alcohol consumption and related accidents. Therefore, it is necessary to know the taboos after drinking alcohol to avoid unfortunate events.

1. Don't go to bed immediately

Alcohol is mainly processed by the liver, and going to sleep immediately will cause the organs to gradually enter a resting state. This is especially bad for the liver. After drinking alcohol, you should use cold water to wash your face, then sit down and rest. In case of drinking too much, you should not sleep because it is easy to get alcohol poisoning leading to coma. To avoid this situation, give the drunk person water every one to two hours until he sobers up.

2. Do not use hangover medicine

Alcohol detoxification drugs can temporarily relieve the body of intoxication, but in fact prolong the period of intoxication. After drinking alcohol, in addition to drinking plenty of water, you should use drinks for people who are active to replenish electrolytes.

3. Do not lie on the electric mat

Drinking too much alcohol causes the body to lose its ability to regulate temperature. At this time, you should pay attention to keeping your body warm, but absolutely do not lie on the electric mat, especially those with cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, coronary artery disease. If you feel cold, you can use a blanket or a heating bag, and you should drink plenty of water. When using, avoid using too high a temperature that can lead to burns.

4. After drinking alcohol, you should not drink coffee, strong tea or carbonated drinks.

After drinking alcohol, you should not drink too much coffee, which can lead to severe dehydration; you should also not drink strong tea, which can cause your heart to beat too fast; you should not drink carbonated water, which will speed up the absorption of alcohol, which is not good for the liver and can easily cause acute stomach ulcers.

5. Do not use fever-reducing medicine

Alcohol in wine will react chemically with the ingredients in the medicine to create substances that are harmful to the body. In particular, fever-reducing medicine containing Paracetamol will produce toxic substances, leading to hepatitis, even causing permanent damage. If you need to take medicine, you should wait until the second day to take it. In addition, you should not use drugs such as antibiotics, hypoglycemic drugs, and antihypertensive drugs.

6. Don't take a bath immediately.

No matter if it is hot or cold water. Hot water or sauna can easily lead to heat concentration in the body, causing a prolonged state of drunkenness, even causing nausea or fainting. Cold water, not only can not sober up, but also causes the liver to lack glucose in the blood, combined with cold water stimulation causes blood vessels to contract and cause cold.

7. Avoid strenuous exercise

After drinking alcohol, dehydration is easy to occur. At this time, vigorous exercise will make dehydration worse. Especially do not go swimming, as it can cause dizziness, fainting, and cramps.
