In our country from ancient times to the present day, alcohol has always held an indispensable position. In modern life, alcohol is closely related to our daily social interactions and lifestyle, but more importantly, it is related to health, which is often overlooked by many, especially by men who drink. The harm caused by drinking alcohol is well known. Today, I want to talk to everyone about the relationship between the things that many people do after drinking and their health. Some actions done after drinking can have a significant impact on health, so please take it seriously and don’t joke about your health. If you fall into the trap, it is recommended to change your habits early.
What should not be done immediately after drinking?
It is not advisable to smoke immediately after drinking. For many men, smoking and drinking go hand in hand, and lighting a cigarette after drinking has become a habit. However, after drinking, the blood circulation speeds up, and a person’s nerves become more excited. If you smoke at this time, many harmful substances from cigarettes will enter the bloodstream more quickly. With the fast blood circulation spreading these substances throughout the body, the damage to the body is multiplied.
It is also not advisable to take a shower immediately – neither a cold nor a hot one. Many people like to take a shower after drinking to get rid of the smell of alcohol and prepare for sleep. However, because at this time the blood circulation and metabolism are accelerated, immediately taking a shower will cause blood vessels to dilate, leading to rapid loss of water and other nutrients in the body. This can cause dizziness, and if not detected early, it can have very unfavorable effects.
After drinking, it is also not advisable to engage in physical activities immediately. Some people use alcohol to adjust the atmosphere, and some men may even believe that drinking before such activities can enhance their abilities. However, this idea is incorrect and should not be followed. After drinking, the blood circulation accelerates, the heart rate increases, and the burden on the heart intensifies. If physical activities are undertaken immediately at this point, the person will become more exhausted. In addition, this activity requires physical strength, and forcing it at this time may not only lack quality but also have negative consequences.
Some people try to get rid of alcohol by drinking strong tea, but this is not advisable. Drinking strong tea after alcohol not only fails to sober up but also has a significant impact on health. Strong tea contains harmful substances, and when consumed with a high amount of alcohol in the body, the heart becomes more excited, causing pressure on the blood vessels and increasing the burden, which not only harms the liver but also the body.
As the year-end approaches and the New Year is almost here, drinking alcohol may be inevitable for many people. However, the things that should not be done after drinking, I hope everyone remembers not to do. If you can’t avoid drinking, and feel uncomfortable after drinking, it is recommended to drink a glass of warm water to speed up the elimination of alcohol. If you have a headache after drinking, try drinking some honey water or sugar water, which may effectively alleviate discomfort.
The above-mentioned actions are things that should not be rushed into after drinking, and many people may have fallen into these traps. It is advisable to change these habits now. Regarding the attitude towards drinking, for the sake of health, it is better not to drink. If you must drink, it is advisable to drink less and choose low-alcohol beverages. When drinking, also consume more vegetables, drink plenty of plain water, which can significantly reduce the damage of alcohol to the body.
