There is an opinion that you can not drink vodka. During the feast, you eat and drink, what to do right away, in fact, is impossible, because the food is not properly digested. If you drink and vodka, then the damage to the body only intensifies. To all this, this way of drinking alcohol indicates that a person does not know how to drink properly. Let's think about why you can’t drink vodka and how it affects our health, except for the negative effects of alcohol.

Reasons why you should not drink vodka

Only foreigners and girls drink vodka - they do not know how to drink a glass at a time, because they can’t tolerate the pain of a burning throat, but this is very pleasant for men. No, drinking often and a lot is impossible, but when there is a holiday, everyone drinks it. Drinking vodka with anything other than juice or still water is strictly prohibited, and here's why:

1. Drinking vodka with another alcoholic drink with a lower turnover, you provoke the stomach to secrete vomit + immediately get drunk. If you drink on an empty stomach, get ready for worse consequences;
2. A lot of liquid, along with vodka, will only aggravate the process of its digestion, because alcohol will quickly “draw” into the bloodstream and will flow throughout the body. You will get drunk faster than usual and you will become very hot. In some cases, a person loses consciousness or falls asleep;
3. Due to zapivon, the negative effect of vodka on the body only improves and organs such as the liver and pancreas begin to “suffer” even more.

As we already said, if you can’t drink vodka and have a bite immediately, drink it with water or juice, preferably homemade.

How to drink vodka

You have heard a lot of tips on how to drink vodka and other alcohol correctly from your parents or friends. In fact, there is a clear recipe on how to drink vodka properly in order to relax and not worry that the evening will end earlier than necessary.

So, the procedure is as follows:

1. Before the feast you need a good meal. Nutritious cereals, mashed potatoes or other side dishes are recommended. Be sure to eat salad;
2. If you don’t have time to eat, eat a piece of butter. It will act on the body as a protector against harmful alcohol;
3. After each glass, have a bite and bite again. Do not drink a new glass until you have a bite on the old one, because you can worsen the condition;
4. Do not drink too often than after 10-15 between glasses and no more than 6-7 glasses per person. Better less drunk, but you’ll be healthier;
5. Before going to bed, swim and do not drink anything except water, so that in the morning your head does not hurt.

This is how you understood why vodka should not be washed down and what to do if things do not go any further without zapivon.

About why you can not drink vodka, you need to know many people. After all, vodka is a liquor that is on almost every holiday table.  Despite the huge variety of spirits produced by modern industry, vodka still occupies a leading position in demand and popularity. And it owes this not only to its 40 °, but also to the “purity” of the product.

How to drink vodka?

There are certain rules on how to drink hard liquor so that you don’t get lucky until the end of the evening, and the next day you don’t feel like a squeezed lemon. And when as a result of the drink, the head begins to feel dizzy, it makes you sick, it’s not pleasant enough.

Everyone drinks vodka differently. Some even taste it, and they drink it with pleasure. Others drink it through force, just a little bit or in small sips. At the same time, they can dilute alcohol with water or drink plenty of water with any liquid. Alcohol can be drunk to cheer you up or for any other reason.

If possible, it is necessary to "prepare" the body for a stormy feast. 2-3 hours before the start of the holiday, you should drink 50 g of vodka so that the stomach is prepared for the action of a rather aggressive substance - alcohol. In other words, to start protective processes in the human body.

Vodka should be drunk in one gulp. First you need to exhale, and then, when you inhale, knock over a glass. It is advisable not to drink alcohol, but something to bite. It is recommended to give preference to hot snacks. If you do not want to eat, you can chew at least a small piece of bread. So you quickly beat off the unpleasant taste of alcohol. However, if you can not help but drink, do not suffer. You can drink 2-3 sips of plain, non-carbonated mineral water or juice, but in no case should you drink another alcoholic drink, even if it is low alcohol. It is also undesirable to use carbonated drinks, sweet and mineral water.

Why not drink this drink?

Is it possible to drink vodka? Doing this is highly undesirable. After all, vodka is a strong alcoholic beverage, which is an aggressive substance in relation to the gastric mucosa. To a certain extent, the stomach even experiences shock when it enters the mucous membrane. The body responds to this through natural regulatory processes. At the same time, a liquid enters the stomach, which dilutes the alcohol and neutralizes its effect on the mucous membrane. If immediately after a strong alcoholic drink water or any other liquid enters the stomach, the body will not respond by neutralizing a potent agent. This is due to the fact that the human stomach will be deceived by the incoming fluid. Therefore, a person will become intoxicated faster, in some cases, alcohol poisoning of the body may even occur. There may be nausea, dizziness, and even vomiting. And the next day a person will feel very bad, he may have a severe headache, weakness, dizziness, nausea and other unpleasant symptoms of intoxication.

If you drink vodka with another alcoholic drink, this can lead to very fast intoxication. In no case should you interfere with alcohol, especially “lower” the degree. If you started the holiday with the use of vodka, in no case can you change it for wine, beer or any other alcoholic beverage. By such actions you will not only feel unwell, but also cause irreparable harm to your gastrointestinal tract.

Adhering to these simple rules, you can enjoy a pleasant evening and company.

Your constant companions will be a good mood and relaxedness. At the same time, your well-being will be excellent not only until the end of the evening, but also the next day.

Why in general the question arises: how to drink vodka correctly? This is because the correct use of vodka allows you to maintain clarity of thought and get rid of a headache in the morning caused by a heavy hangover from an excessive dose of alcohol, or a violation of the rules of use, which will be discussed later.

How to drink vodka

Russian people to drink vodka is not only useful, but also harmful. And in order to reduce the harmful effects on the body, it is necessary to learn how to properly use the bitter, so that a kind of ritual leaves only pleasant impressions from cheerful communication and a peculiar vodka taste, emphasized by traditional Russian snacks.

For a large number of admirers of strong drinks, the question of how to drink vodka correctly can cause a condescending grin, because they seriously believe that there is nothing complicated in this process - pour and drink, have plenty of snacks you like, and if there are none, a few sweets or cut apple slices. It is this misconception that leads to sad consequences when a plate with salad becomes a “soft pillow”.

If you approach the process of use correctly, then it can be divided into several stages, each of which has a certain meaning and is important in its own way:

• Stage 1 - preparation, when it is necessary to set the body to drink strong alcohol, following a few simple steps;
• Stage 2 - the actual process of drinking a drink, requiring some control and the implementation of certain measures;
• Stage 3 - exit from intoxication, when it is necessary to help the body cope with the inevitable process of alcohol intoxication.

At the preparation stage, and it cannot be excluded, even if the process of drinking alcohol was taken by surprise, it is necessary to eat some boiled potatoes with a small amount of butter or a sandwich, if possible, consisting of a slice of black bread with a thin slice of fresh lard, or spread on bread specially prepared from bacon appetizer.

Due to the porous structure, potatoes will begin to absorb the incoming alcohol and significantly soften its shock effect on the body, and lard will cover the walls of the stomach with a greasy film, preventing the absorption of alcohol, which will significantly stretch the process of intoxication.

Good results are obtained if 6-8 tablets of regular activated carbon sold in any pharmacy are taken before use. This amount is enough to control their actions throughout the feast.

When the body is prepared, you can start directly to use, given that the process can be somewhat delayed. It all depends on the quality of the vodka itself, the quantity of snacks and the state of the body.

Of great importance when consumed is given to pauses between regular glasses. After drinking the first portion and having a hearty snack, you can also send a second glass after it, switching to eating cold snacks. This is where it is necessary to make a longer pause, allowing the body to tune in to combat incoming alcohol. The next portion of vodka can be drunk in 20-25 minutes. During this time, the body will be able to cope with the incoming alcohol and neutralize the negative effects of alcohol.

How to snack vodka

After the next portion of vodka has gone into your mouth, you need to put a small amount of a pre-cooked snack on your tongue. In addition to the fact that these should be the right dishes, at the same time emphasizing the taste of vodka and neutralizing the negative effects of alcohol, the method of their use is of great importance.

Having placed vodka in the refrigerator, the first thing we start is preparing rich hearty dishes, most suitable as a first snack. Why is it better to start with the hot. Vodka arouses appetite, and for the body to feel full you need to pamper it hot. Rich cabbage soup or borsch, ear from several species of fish will perfectly prepare the body for the use of the next portion of the bitter. Following the "battle" comes boiled friable potatoes, flavored with a small amount of butter and sprinkled with dill on top.

Well-salted herring comes to the aid of potatoes, especially spiced salting, aged in the barrel for at least 3 months. Potato starch absorbs alcohol like a sponge and prevents fast intoxication, and spicy herring prepares the body for the reception of the next portion of vodka. And here the most important thing is to maintain a balance of the amount of food and the capabilities of the body.

  You should never overeat.  That's why a snack is called a snack, not a meal, which should always remain a slight feeling of hunger. An overloaded body ceases to process food, while stopping the process of alcohol oxidation. And I don’t feel like drinking or eating, and the drunk alcohol in its original form is filtered into the blood, leading to rapid intoxication and a severe hangover.

After hot, you can switch to cold snacks. Sauerkraut and apples, pickled mushrooms and cucumbers are perfect. For snacks - only salty foods and no pickles. Marinades upset the balance of perception of drinks and snacks and interfere with the neutralization of alcohol entering the body. Therefore, pouring another portion into a shot glass, we add a portion of cabbage or a pickle on a fork, and after one drink of the contents, freeze for 2-3 seconds.

After that we quickly send the snack to our mouth and enjoy an amazing aftertaste when the bitterness of alcohol gradually changes in the taste of the snack. Now you can talk, hold a pause, during which the body will have time to prepare for further intake of vodka.

Waking up the next day, do not touch alcohol, no matter how weak it is. Neither beer nor wine, and especially strong drinks, are contraindicated in this case. Hot broth, brine, light vegetable dishes or cereals, an egg in a bag or a fried egg. Do not use drinks containing caffeine, thereby eliminating the increased load on the vessels and heart.

Drink or snack vodka

Sometimes during a feast, especially when everyone is full after the next glass, vodka is simply washed down with water, juice or other drinks. Every drinker should know that drinking vodka is generally harmful, and drinking alcoholic or carbonated drinks is doubly harmful.

The poison that enters the body, and vodka is certainly poison, the body tries to wash it with plenty of water, bringing the alcohol concentration to a safe level. The body mistakenly accepts the incoming water as the end of the flushing process and stops fighting alcohol, which leads to severe intoxication and problems with the intestinal tract.

Do not drink alcohol with carbonated drinks.  The gas contained in them greatly enhances the absorption of alcohol and promotes rapid intoxication. Penetrating carbon dioxide through cell membranes leads to severe poisoning, which can be very difficult to neutralize.

It is dangerous to drink and low-alcohol drinks, especially beer. Fermentation products, and most low-alcohol drinks belong to them, not only increase the effect of alcohol on the body, but also form compounds that lead to severe poisoning. Minimum than drinking alcohol with mild alcohol is a severe hangover.

Requiring the intake of a good snack in the body and it will not work to replace it with any drinks.

Vodka Supply Temperature

No one will argue that drinking warm vodka is not a pleasant pleasure. The drink just does not go into the throat and tries to return back as soon as possible. Vodka is different from or because it lacks aromatic additives, the smell of which is enjoyed by warming the glass with the warmth of their hands.

Vodka must be cooled before consumption without freezing. Frozen vodka causes only unpleasant sensations from a strong cold when consumed, and receptors “numb from frost” will not be able to convey the specific taste of the drink. At a very low temperature, the “little white” loses its taste, smell and becomes so thick that it becomes problematic to drink it in one sip.

The optimum temperature for consumption is 8-10 ° C. In this state, vodka retains its organoleptic properties, allows you to feel the taste and aftertaste, which in some varieties can even affect gourmets with experience.

Wineglass or glass

Utensils are of great importance when consumed. Glasses for brandy or whiskey for vodka are not suitable in principle. It’s rare who agrees to drink vodka from a large glass in small sips. It’s like lowering your nose into a barrel of alcohol and taking a deep breath. There are special vodka glasses for drinking vodka.

Faceted glasses with a thin leg are best suited for this purpose. They appeared by chance. It is this form and volume that will fully reveal the taste when drinking the contents in one big sip. Pouring from such a glass, vodka seems to be divided into several portions of different volume. And when the first is sent in a large stream to the esophagus, a small residual portion is distributed on the surface of the tongue, allowing you to feel a peculiar aftertaste and irritating the neuroepithelial cells that send a signal to prepare the body for a snack to relieve irritation.

Volume of a glass for vodka

Optimal glasses are considered to hold about 50 ml of the drink. This volume is not accidental. The conical shape of the vodka glass allows you to pour, without reaching 5-7 mm to the edge, about 30-35 g of vodka, which is easy to drink in one sip, which any average organism can handle relatively easily. There are glasses with a volume of 60 and 70 ml, but the most popular are 50 grams. It is not recommended to pour vodka into glasses of less than 30 ml. They are intended for other drinks, and drinking vodka in small portions is simply dangerous.

For the experiment, you should try to drink 5 thimbles. Already on the fourth, severe intoxication is guaranteed, despite such a small volume.

Regardless of which glasses are used, or which appetizer is served, the most basic rule for the proper use of this traditional Russian drink is a sense of proportion so that the body does not overwork and the soul is said to sing.

Not a single feast passes without alcohol-containing drinks, since they firmly entered our lives. It is worth noting that many do not understand their mistakes when drinking strong drinks. Namely, a wrong snack can lead to health problems and severe hangover syndromes.

Many people think that strong drinks should be drunk. Some people generally believe that vodka should be used in conjunction with another alcoholic drink, then, in their opinion, you will remain sober for a long time.

From the point of view of medicine, such a judgment is considered erroneous and not safe. Let's try to understand the controversial question: why can’t you drink alcohol? To do this, you need to understand what processes occur in the human body when drinking alcohol.

Why can’t you drink alcohol? Physiology

• To answer the question: why you can not drink any alcohol, you need to understand the physiological processes of the body. Absolutely any alcohol-containing product, and no matter how many degrees it is and what quality it is, is perceived by our body as poison.
• When it enters the gastrointestinal tract, our body turns on the “rinse” mode, that is, the release of water. If at the same time drink alcohol with juice, water, then the body will consider that washing has already passed and it is not worthwhile to allocate additional water.

When drinking an alcohol-containing drink with carbonated water or mineral water, intoxication occurs much faster. This is due to the fact that the bubbles of carbon dioxide contained in the drink accelerate the metabolic processes inside the gastrointestinal tract and alcohol is more rapidly absorbed through the walls of the stomach into the blood. Also, carbon dioxide bubbles provoke the development of gastritis and stomach ulcers, and in combination with vodka can accelerate these processes.

There is an opinion that when drinking vodka in conjunction with alcoholic beverages of a reduced degree - a person is easier to endure intoxication. In itself, mixing high and low degrees is not recommended and almost everyone knows about this “rule”. This "method" can lead to rapid intoxication, a severe hangover, severe health problems.

Summarize

From the foregoing, we can conclude: drinking strong alcoholic beverages is not worth it, as this can lead to health problems, severe hangover syndromes, serious food poisoning, severe intoxication, and further problems with the digestive system (gastritis, ulcers).

When a person drinks alcohol with any liquid, he enhances the absorption of alcohol into the blood. If you have a snack on strong alcoholic beverages, and it is better to eat fatty, hot dishes, then such food will act as a neutralizer. In this case, the effect of alcohol weakens and stretches over time.

Accordingly, the use of strong drinks together with a snack can be considered the right option. Since the body is less susceptible to all kinds of poisoning and severe consequences after a stormy evening.

But since the strength of the drink is significant (40 degrees!), People who go “take it on their chest” face the question: how to bite vodka so that it does not painfully pain in the morning (literally)? We'll see, what folk wisdom recommends.

Despite the Russian man’s love for a hearty meal, some prefer to eat less when they drink vodka, and immediately after a pile they send a sip of water or another drink into their mouths. Such comrades motivate their behavior simply: vodka is poison for the body, and if it is also loaded with food, it will be difficult for it.

Doctors on the question of "washing" respond differently. What is customary to drink “hot”? The list is as follows:

• soda;
• water;
• juices.

Soda  used to "dilute" a degree. In fact, the effect will be the opposite: gas bubbles will quickly disperse the components of vodka throughout the body. Total:

• fast intoxication  a small amount;
• bowel problems  (a reaction such as bloating is possible);
• lack of appetite  (which will worsen the situation, because the absorption of vodka, which is not restrained by anything, occurs at a high speed).

Sweet soda is unlikely to occur to anyone to dilute vodka, since it also affects the pancreas.

But lovers of mineral water after or along with “bitter” should be warned against such an activity.

Why drinking alcohol is bad water? It would seem that this should have a positive effect on the state of the body: ethanol, ingested, is excreted without delay.

In fact, our body reacts in a peculiar way: having accepted a portion of clean water after vodka, he “decides”: everything, the feast is over, the water has gone - that means you can relax and not concentrate on removing toxins. The result is intoxication.

Concerning juices, then they do not interfere with harmful substances absorbed into the blood. They act approximately like water. True, some juices still slightly weaken the toxic effect. These are drinks:

• orange;
• tomato
• cranberry.

So that juices and vodka “in tandem” do not irritate the stomach too much, drink them like this: orange juice and “bitter” - in proportions 3 to 1, tomato and cranberry - 2 to 1.

But nevertheless, ideally, you should make it a rule to eat something tasty right after a glass, so that the holiday does not stop ahead of schedule due to the fact that insidious vodka instantly penetrated the brain and all other places.

What can not be eaten?

We touch on the tradition first. What do we see on the table next to the misted bottle? These are plates with marinades, fatty pieces of meat (it can be sausage, smoked meats, carbonate), small cherry tomatoes. These are the most frequent snack options, especially when you want to cook something in haste.

Meanwhile this snack leads to unpleasant consequences. Fatty foods trigger pancreatic juice production. It is necessary for food to be digested. At the same time, when we drink a glass of vodka, there is a spasm of the hole through which this juice enters the duodenum.

Bottom line: the juice is secreted, but spasmodic muscles do not allow it to get to the right place.

Juice begins to work where it is. The pancreas digests itself, inflamed.

Doctors do not like long holidays, for example, such as the New Year: at this time many patients come to them just with pancreatic diseases.

And from the moment you take alcohol and snacks to the appearance of frightening symptoms 3-4 days can pass, and a person does not associate drinking with an attack. This makes diagnosis and treatment difficult.

They also act approximately marinades. They contain an additional danger: vinegar. The movement of stones in the gallbladder, which had previously lay peacefully for decades and would have lain there until the death hour, could have begun if it had not been for the reckless drink and the wrong snack. There is an activation of the movement of stones in the kidneys.

Fresh tomatoes cause fermentation in the intestines, bloating.

Chocolate hardly anyone bites vodka - except if there is nothing at hand - but if you had to do this, carefully watch for yourself the next few days after drinking alcohol: are there any pains in the epigrastria. Chocolate combined with vodka exacerbates existing chronic diseases.

To prevent such situations, let's see what kind of food will positively affect the state of the gastrointestinal tract, if you decide to take the "bitter".

What is the best snack?

When planning a feast, let's pay more attention to the dishes that we intend to offer guests as a complement to the “main” - the treasured bottle. First of all, it is - hotter.

First meal

If you can cook, try to find the time and cook the first course for the holiday. Fit:

• borscht;
• hodgepodge;
• simple soup "curly".

Borscht  from fresh or sauerkraut - tasty and healthy food. It contains vegetables (cabbage and beets), which, when stewed and boiled, relieve the condition and prevent its occurrence. The same can be attributed to to the soup.

Solyanka  good if you choose its non-greasy option. 2-3 types of meat, a little rice or pearl barley, an abundance of greens - and this is a wonderful soup ready, which is suitable for a regular dinner and for a snack for the holiday.

When there is no time for full cooking, cook curly soup. It is done like this:

• smoked sausage cut into small pieces;
• 2-3 potatoes;
• 1 carrot;
• 1 onion;
• 1 egg

Boil water, throw sausage there (you need a little bit - remember, your dish it should turn out non-greasy!), vegetables.

When the vegetables are ready, slowly pour in the egg, stirring the soup. Salt, add greens.

A good pair for a glass of vodka will be a plate fish soup. And if you started a real ear, it is better to use it separately: add vodka to your ear, therefore, it will not work as a snack.

Hot

What can be made of hot, but not liquid? The list of dishes is extensive:

• braised chicken;
• "Pilaf" with chicken breast (real pilaf does not fit, this is a fatty dish);
• stewed and fried fish.

Almost everyone loves kebabs. The option is not the most successful, but acceptable. The main thing - don't eat them too much.

As a side dish for hot dishes, choose   potatoes  in any form (boiled, stewed, baked). Fine fresh boiled potatoes with herbs - dill and parsley. Even without meat, in this case, it is quite possible to do! The potato absorbs substances secreted by drinking alcohol, and the body does not overload.

Good ricehard grades are not bad pasta. If "the soul asks" of vegetables  - you can put them out or steam. Remember - the less fat and oil, the easier it will be for a long-suffering liver to cope with the consequences of the holiday.

Cold snack

Of cold snacks is best perceived jelly. It contains a lot of gelatin, useful for drinking alcohol and generally beneficial for the body.

Bake (or buy) pies - pies with fish filling. Serve to the table pancakes with caviar. It is available even to those who are at odds with the kitchen. Bake small-sized pancakes based on milk and flour, and then put in each portion of caviar, wrap and place in a column.

Whip up snacks

The mood "figure out for three" arose spontaneously? There is no way to cook and bake? Your option is homemade or store-bought, as well as sandwiches. Let's start with them.

Sandwiches

The most hearty of fast foods is considered a plate with sandwiches. It is better to buy bread black, rye or whole grain. White bread is just an extra load on the gastrointestinal tract, because it has the most carbohydrates.

On bread cut into small slices, put:

• thin slices of fat;
• red caviar;
• mugs of pickles;
• small pieces of smoked sausage.

Sandwiches themselves also let them be small. The point is not to save and not to ensure that guests do not empty the refrigerator. It is important to have a snack often, but in modest portions, so that the gastrointestinal tract has time to cope with both the vodka entering it and the food.

Salted vegetables

When you set the table, make sure that each guest can easily reach the plates with chopped vegetables.

Why they must be saltyrather than pickled?

Salt promotes the absorption of harmful substances, which are then excreted with water, and there is vinegar in the marinades, which adversely affects the liver.

Can choose:

• tomatoes
• cucumbers
• carrot;
• cabbage (pickled).

Vodka and salted mushrooms from their cellar "interact" very well. They quickly saturate, you can’t eat a lot of them.

Take a large special plate - a scallop dish, consisting of several compartments, and in each beautifully lay a certain type of vegetables and mushrooms. Beautiful, fast, convenient!

A fish

Salted red fish is a delicacy that is always present at every holiday. With a slice of such a fish, you can immediately bite homemade alcohol or put this crowbar on bread to make a more satisfying dish.

Usually we buy trout or salmon - They are considered the most delicious and rich in nutrients. Walking in the store along the fish rows, pay attention to the color of the products: the fish should not be bright red, but pink. This is a sign of quality salting and proper storage.

How to avoid a hangover?

An appetizer, as we already understood, affects the condition of the drinker both directly in the process of drinking and the next day.

In order not to throw 1.5-2 days out of life, not to suffer from headaches and not to suffer remorse at the words of those around you, “Well, you are yesterday! ...”, let's learn the rules for drinking:

1. Before proceeding to libations, folk wisdom recommends boiling potatoes and eat some tubers with pickles.
2. To the potato add vegetable or butter  - a small portion. So the body will prepare for a plentiful intake of alcohol. Alcohol is absorbed slowly, and therefore adaptation to it will be easier.
3. The same purpose will serve portion of rice.
4. You can still pre-eat   a couple of slices of brown bread with bacon. Small amounts of lard help facilitate the processing of alcohol components.

Good advice  - swallow 5-6 tablets of activated carbon. Coal absorbs harmful substances.

As a result, you will finish the feast with dignity, and the next morning begin to perform your duties (if it is a working morning) or go for a walk with the children (if the day off), as if nothing had happened.

What are some ways to deal with a hangover or methods to prevent it? What helps you? Write your personal observations.

In addition, we are waiting for your additions on the "right" dishes, which should accompany the "bitter" drink. Do you have a recipe that allows you to always remain “in a sober mind and solid memory”? Share, it will certainly come in handy for many.

Drinking, of course, is harmful. But sometimes (in moderation!) It is also useful! This is confirmed even by doctors. You just need to pick up a good snack and stop in time. Let your feasts always be joyful and bring only a good mood.

And also look at how to properly and tasty drink vodka so as not to get drunk and not get sick:
