During the New Year parties, it is inevitable to use alcoholic beverages, so what should you do to reduce fatigue from drunkenness? Please refer to the tips below!
1. Before the party
Eat fatty foods
Foods high in fat will create a layer on the stomach and intestinal lining, this layer slows down the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, helping you stay sober longer and giving the liver more time to metabolize alcohol. Therefore, before the party, you should eat fatty foods such as cheese, butter,… which will help reduce the harmful effects of alcohol on the body.
Eat toast
The amount of carbon in bread will absorb some of the alcohol, helping you stay sober longer.
Drink milk
Milk will help limit the conversion of acetaldehyde, reduce the absorption of alcohol into the bloodstream, slow down the process of alcohol absorption in the body, protect and reduce the irritation of alcohol to the stomach.

Take vitamins and antioxidants
Supplementing with multivitamins containing antioxidants before drinking alcohol or beer is also one of the effective ways to prevent drunkenness.
Eat rice
Before the party, eating a bowl of rice helps prevent the contact of alcohol with the lining of the stomach and intestines, thereby helping you stay sober longer.
Eat yogurt
In yogurt, there is a large amount of vegetable gum, so yogurt stays in the stomach longer, helping to reduce alcohol concentration and effectively protect the stomach.
2. When at a party
During the party, there are several ways for you to avoid getting drunk quickly and to make the intoxication milder. You should refer to some of the following methods:
Drink slowly
To give your liver time to metabolize the alcohol, you should drink very slowly, enjoying the taste of the beverage while reducing the harmful effects of beer and liquor on your body.
Alternate alcoholic drinks with water and eat food
Most cases of intoxication occur due to the body being dehydrated. Drinking water or fruit juice helps dilute the alcohol concentration in the blood while prolonging the time before the alcohol hits the body all at once.
Choose drinks with low alcohol content
If you are not used to drinking beer or liquor, choose beverages with lower alcohol content like fruit wine, wine, etc. The higher the alcohol content, the easier it is to get drunk, and the intoxication is also more uncomfortable.
Do not mix many types of beer, liquor, and carbonated drinks
Some people have the habit of mixing liquor and carbonated drinks to drink, which is harmful because when mixed, the bubbles in carbonated drinks accelerate the absorption of alcohol into the blood, making you get drunk faster.
Do not smoke while at the drinking table
Cigarettes are also a factor that accelerates the absorption of alcohol into the body; moreover, smoking causes many dangerous diseases, with lung cancer being one of them.
Avoid mixed cocktails with caffeine
Mixed cocktails are very tasty but cause your body to lose more water, while also increasing feelings of nausea and dizziness, making your intoxication more severe and uncomfortable.
3. Some tips to help you avoid fatigue after drinking

Sleep

Drink plenty of water
Replenish the lost fluids by drinking plain water or fruit juice, coconut water,… every time you wake up, as dehydration is one of the main causes of intoxication.
After waking up, you should replenish energy with liquid food for easier absorption by the body.

If you vomit after drinking, it means your body has lost both fluids and a certain amount of minerals and vitamins. Supplementing with minerals and vitamins will help prevent weakness and fatigue.
You can also eat fruits rich in potassium and vitamin C such as oranges, melons, pears, watermelons, avocados, apricots, grapefruits,… to replenish the lost potassium while helping the body recover faster.
