Some fruits containing organic acids, such as lemons, oranges, and tangerines, are effective and safe for relieving hangovers.

The end of the year is a time for many parties, so it's hard to avoid drinking alcohol. Below are some quick and effective ways to sober up, according to...Military.

1. Honey

The Royal Society of Chemistry in the UK believes that the fructose in honey helps the body break down the body into harmless byproducts and reduces headaches, especially those caused by drinking wine.

2. Lemonade

Lemon juice contains organic acids that combine with ethanol in alcohol to form esters, effectively helping to alleviate the effects of alcohol. Some other fruits, such as tangerines and oranges, also contain organic acids that are effective in relieving the effects of alcohol.

3. Bananas

When you drink too much alcohol, your cells become dehydrated, your blood potassium levels drop, your body weakens, and your blood pressure rises. In this case, you should eat 1-3 bananas to increase potassium, lower blood sugar, and reduce blood alcohol levels.

4. Grapes

Both purple and green grapes contain tartaric acid. When combined with ethanol in alcohol, tartaric acid forms esters that induce vomiting and help alleviate hangovers. Eating grapes before drinking alcohol can help you avoid getting drunk.

5. Tomato juice

After drinking alcohol, the body loses a certain amount of blood sugar, causing fatigue and dizziness because blood sugar is the energy source that sustains brain activity. To prevent this, drink a glass of tomato juice to replenish fructose. The lycopene pigment in tomatoes also has effective anti-inflammatory properties.

Things to keep in mind when sobering up.

You should absolutely not use yogurt to cure a hangover because the ingredients in yogurt irritate the stomach, leading to diarrhea. Instead of yogurt, you can use fresh milk to cure a hangover. Drinking fresh milk about 30 minutes before drinking alcohol will form a protective layer on the stomach lining.

Furthermore, strong tea is not suitable for relieving the effects of alcohol. The combination of tea and alcohol puts pressure on the heart, potentially causing arrhythmias or even heart failure. Strong tea also hinders the metabolism of alcohol and harms the kidneys.
