Can men drink strong tea to relieve hangover?

　　It is not appropriate to drink strong tea to relieve hangover

　　No party is complete without wine, and wine is always indispensable at social gatherings or dinner parties. “"The feeling is deep, a mouthful is dull, the feeling is shallow, give it a lick." After three rounds of drinking, there will always be someone who drinks "on top". Even if they don't admit to being drunk, they are not too far away from being drunk. When encountering this situation, some "wine-experienced" people will urge the waiter to serve a pot of strong tea to relieve the hangover.

　　“In fact, this approach is very inappropriate. ”Zhao Yongyi pointed out that although his head seemed less bloated after drinking a drink, his heart and kidneys were "very injured." She explained that originally, most of the alcohol should be converted into acetaldehyde in the liver and then into acetic acid. The acetic acid is then decomposed into carbon dioxide and water and excreted through the kidneys. However, if you drink strong tea after drinking alcohol, the theophylline in the strong tea can quickly exert a diuretic effect on the kidneys and promote the premature entry of acetaldehyde that has no time to be decomposed into the kidneys. Acetaldehyde is highly irritating to the kidneys and can cause damage to kidney function. In severe cases, it can be life-threatening. In addition, the alcohol in wine is very irritating to the cardiovascular system, and strong tea also has the effect of stimulating the heart. The combined use of the two increases the stimulation to the heart, and the consequences are even more disastrous for people with poor heart function.

　　“However, drinking some light tea after drinking alcohol also has a diuretic effect and can promote the excretion of alcohol. ”Zhao Yongyi said that weak tea will not cause damage to the heart and kidneys, so drinking a cup is not a big problem.

　　Drinks with high fructose content are the real hangover cures

　　Although many people know that being drunk is bad for the body, sometimes you may encounter a situation where you have to drink. At this time, how to relieve hangover in a way that is not harmful to the body but also effective? Zhao Yongyi said that current research believes that only fructose, a nutrient, has a certain effect on accelerating the elimination of alcohol from the blood in the body.

　　Therefore, if you are already drunk, the most convenient and simplest way is to drink some drinks rich in fructose. The first choice is honey water, because most of the honey contains fructose; secondly, you can drink freshly squeezed fruit juices such as citrus, pear, apple, watermelon, or have a cup of lemon tea. This kind of fresh juice helps to quickly excrete alcohol from the body. If possible, you can drink more; if you don’t have honey water or freshly squeezed juice, you can also drink a bowl of sugar water or some fruit juice drinks.

　　After drinking a fructose-rich drink and feeling gradually sober, those who have the conditions can take a hot bath to promote blood circulation and allow the alcohol to further evaporate. In this way, the hangover effect will not only be more obvious, but it will not harm the body.
