The best way to avoid hangovers and other unpleasant conditions associated with alcohol consumption is not to drink alcohol at all. But festive feasts or cheerful friendly gatherings rarely do without libations of one degree or another. Alternatively, you can choose for yourself a drink that "disappears" from the body faster than all others.
The effect of alcohol on the body
For some, in order to get drunk, it is enough to drink half a glass of beer, and after drinking a bottle of vodka, someone is able to maintain a firm gait, clarity of mind and a quick reaction. This is due to the fact that the nature and degree of the toxic effect of alcohol on the human body depends on the characteristics of this organism. Many factors affect the elimination time of alcohol: a person's weight, age, gender, the degree of stomach filling with food, the use of tonic drinks (tea, coffee), previously taken medications, the person's mental state, and, of course, the type and amount of alcohol consumed. If you have a thin physique, hungry, upset - alcohol will affect you instantly, and it will take longer to be excreted than a person who is full, happy with life and weighs more than you. If you take analgesics or antidepressants, you will get drunk even faster.
Therefore, to calculate the amount of time it takes to "weather" alcohol from the body, it is possible only approximately, relying on the data of studies carried out by experts:
100 g of brandy will be removed from the body in 5 hours;
100 g of vodka - for 4, 5 hours;
100 g of champagne - 1.5 hours;
100 g of fortified wine (16-20% alcohol) - 4 hours;
200 g of dry wine - 3 hours;
500 g of beer - 2 hours.
The proposed data are calculated for a man weighing 70-80 kg. If your weight is from 60 to 75 kg, then the amount of alcohol consumed must be multiplied by the developed coefficient - 0.77. The result obtained is the time taken to remove one or another type of alcohol from your body. If your body weight is from 45 to 60 kg, then when calculating you need to use a coefficient of 0.53.
Be sure to take into account the fact that each organism is very individual.
Alcohol is removed from the female body more slowly than from the male due to the fact that the stomach of women naturally contains fewer enzymes that break down alcohol, and therefore alcohol in a less altered form than that of men enters the bloodstream.
How to shorten the duration of alcohol's action
Since it is impossible to calculate the exact time of alcohol withdrawal from the body, and the very effect of alcohol can be unpredictable, every person who drinks alcohol needs to know how to reduce the time of their effect on the body.
About half an hour before drinking alcohol, drink 4 tablets of activated charcoal and during the feast, drink 2 more tablets every hour. Charcoal perfectly absorbs alcohol, preventing it from being fully absorbed into the bloodstream.
If you had to drink alcohol, but you can't get drunk, you need to take 1 tablet of lemontar or biotredin. These are drugs that reduce the toxic effect of alcohol.
Plentiful warm drinks, grapefruit and orange juices help to quickly sober up.
