Drink on an empty stomach
Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach makes the stomach more susceptible to irritation and makes you get drunk faster. When the stomach is empty, the alcohol goes straight down, stimulating acid secretion and causing digestive discomfort. Therefore, you should have a snack before drinking to reduce the feeling of fullness and limit damage to the stomach lining.
Combined with seafood
Many people like to drink beer with seafood, but this is a habit that easily increases uric acid. Seafood contains a lot of purines, and beer promotes purine metabolism, causing uric acid to increase, which in the long run can easily lead to gout or affect kidney function. Even healthy people who regularly eat this way are at risk of increasing uric acid in the blood. Therefore, this combination should be limited, especially for people with gout.
Drinking too quickly
Drinking alcohol too quickly causes blood alcohol levels to increase suddenly, causing the liver to overwork to break down, thereby easily damaging liver cells. This also makes you get drunk faster. Therefore, no matter what type of alcohol you drink, you should not drink it in a hurry.
Drinking alcohol too cold
Cold beer is very refreshing in the hot season, but beer that is too cold causes discomfort to the digestive system. The ideal temperature of the beer is 10-12 degrees Celsius because at this time the carbon dioxide dissolves well, creating the most standard flavor. When beer is too cold, protein is easily broken down, reducing nutritional value and can irritate the stomach lining.
