Vodka is a must-have for any meal. It is indecent to completely abandon its use. But you can take some measures that will not allow you to get drunk even with a large amount of alcohol consumed.
What can be done before and during the feast
You should use only a high-quality product without chemical additives. It's good if it only consists of water and alcohol.
Do not drink on an empty stomach. Before leaving the house, you need to eat a little or drink mint tea, coffee with lemon.
An hour before the expected gatherings, you can eat a couple of boiled potatoes. Help to increase the body's resistance against the effects of alcohol and two raw eggs drunk. A similar effect is given by two tablespoons of vegetable oil.
During the feast, you should drink one thing. If the choice was made in favor of vodka, nothing else needs to be consumed except for it. Moreover, you need to drink vodka in one gulp, and not filter. Take a snack immediately afterward to neutralize the alcohol. Salty or sour food is best for this (sauerkraut, pickled tomatoes or cucumbers, herring with boiled potatoes). In the absence of such, you can have a snack with Olivier salad.
At the feast, the first three glasses are considered mandatory. They are indicative of a friendly attitude. The next one or two times can be skipped to give the body the opportunity to gain strength for further gatherings.
For about an hour, salads and various cold snacks are served at the feast. Next, hot dishes are used. In order not to get drunk, it is imperative to eat them, even if you no longer want to.
In the process of gatherings, you can take several tablets of activated carbon, based on body weight. It neutralizes alcohol, preventing drunkenness.
Participation in intellectual conversations contributes to maintaining clarity. This, of course, does not guarantee absolute sobriety, but there will not be a deep state of intoxication either.
At the end of the meal, tea and cake are usually served. It is not recommended to skip them. Thus, there is a demonstration in front of the owners of a completely sober state and the fact that their hospitality is appreciated.
Recommendations after the feast
Leave a bottle of beer in the fridge overnight. At about 5 o'clock in the morning, you should get up, drink it and lie down again. This is a very effective way to save yourself from morning hangover syndrome.
If the beer still doesn't work, you can drink a glass of salt water or brine. To relieve a hangover, you should not drink a glass of vodka, as some advise. This method is suitable only for alcohol addicted people.
