After a feast or drinking alcohol, many are tormented by the question of how to get rid of fumes and signs of a hangover. The problem is especially urgent for those who need to go to work. What people do not come up with - they chew garlic, mint chewing gum, bay leaves, get drunk with beer, cucumber pickle. However, not all methods are effective, because the persistent smell of wine vapors after drinking alcohol lasts a long time. We will give advice on how to get rid of fumes quickly at home, we will tell you about proven methods.
First, we will tell you what methods will definitely not help get rid of fumes:
- Start chewing menthol / mint chewing gum a minute before talking to the boss or before the traffic police post. The trick is not recommended and is useless, since menthol does not mask, but enhances the smell of alcohol vapors. Surrounding people will be able to fully "enjoy" persistent fumes, mixed with notes of mint, fruit, and other aromatic additives.
- Use refreshments, sprays before a conversation, a serious meeting. Also useless, the effect lasts only 2-3 minutes. After that, alcoholic amber from the mouth will again prevent the interlocutors from focusing on business.
- Chew garlic cloves, parsley sprigs, bay leaves, black pepper and coffee beans in the hope of long-lasting results. Do not be fooled, these funds mask the fumes for only a short time.
Now we will share proven ways to get rid of fumes quickly at home:
- If you need to mask the effects of drinking for only 3-4 minutes, mint leaves, parsley, coffee grains, fried seeds, lemon balm, cinnamon, bay leaves, nutmeg will help. But this "secret folk weapon" is unlikely to save you from being checked while driving, rather it will help with a short conversation. And the smell of garlic, lavrushka is specific, no better than alcohol vapors.
- Rosehip decoction, drunk in the amount of 2-3 cups, helps many get rid of fumes. And any other liquid (strong and green tea, unsweetened coffee, mineral water without gas) removes toxins well due to the diuretic effect.
- Coniferous needles are good at masking the smell from the mouth after drinking. They must be chewed thoroughly, then spit out.
- A solution of lemon and vinegar masks smelly aromas. The recipe is simple - squeeze juice from half a lemon into a cup, add 2 drops of 9% vinegar, use it to rinse the mouth.
- It may seem strange, but a hearty breakfast or lunch after drinking helps to eliminate the fumes. It is advisable to eat a plate of meat soup, porridge, scrambled eggs or any other dish of your choice, drink a couple of cups of coffee without sugar, green tea or fruit juice. Then you should brush your teeth with mint paste.
- Some are helped by special medications - Antipolitsay, Limontar, R-IKS 1, Zorex. Of course, you can't get behind the wheel after taking them, but you can negotiate. The traffic police inspectors are familiar with the specific smell of Antipolitsa, it does not remove alcohol, so it will not work to deceive the traffic cop and the breathalyzer.
- Another good way to get rid of fumes quickly is to prepare a saline solution. A tablespoon of salt is dissolved in 200 ml of warm boiling water, the liquid is used for rinsing. Brushing your teeth before the procedure will increase the effectiveness of the method.
Remember! The fume after beer lasts the longest; it will not be possible to get rid of it earlier than in 3 hours. Sorbents (activated carbon, Enterosgel, Smecta) and opokhmel (cucumber pickle, tomato juice, mineral water) do not eliminate alcoholic odors, they simply relieve painful symptoms. The best way is to shower, drink more water, and get a good night's sleep after drinking.
