Beer

Beer is the easiest and fastest drink in terms of excretion from the body, primarily because of its low alcohol content. However, it should be borne in mind that the maximum concentration of ethanol in the blood is reached within an hour after drinking the drink. Thus, after drinking 0,5 beer, in about an hour there will be a maximum ppm value in the blood, so do not rely on “now it’s like an hour after a glass of beer and I’ll drive”. No, you shouldn't do that!

Wine

A common question is “is it possible to have a glass of wine in a cafe and drive home instead of a taxi?”. The answer is no! A glass of wine will give within an hour and a half more than the permissible ppm in the blood (> 0.4 depending on the organism).

Vodka or cognac

Strong drinks such as cognac, vodka or tincture will “not allow” you to drive, even the next morning after drinking in the evening. Since 5-8 shots of the drink will increase the ppm dose to a level that will disappear for almost a day, respectively, your body will not be completely cleansed overnight.

What affects the withdrawal of alcohol

  • Liver function... If a person's liver is completely healthy and functioning normally, then the elimination of alcohol from the body will take place much faster than in a person who has liver disease.
  • Body type... Strong intoxication will come to a person weighing 110 kg and growing 190 cm much later than to a person weighing 70 kg and growing 170 kg.
  • Correct use. If you drink strong alcohol with a period of one shot of about 10 minutes, while having a good snack on fatty foods or citrus fruits, severe intoxication will not come soon, and the consequences will be greatly facilitated.

How to relieve the effects of alcohol intoxication

  • Be more in fresh (cool) air. Oddly enough, most of the alcohol is excreted through the lungs;
  • Drink plenty of water - this will help remove alcohol from the body;
  • Eat fruits with vitamin C (such as lemon tea);
  • Take a contrast shower, this will not reduce the amount of alcohol in the blood, but will help alleviate the consequences;
  • In order to reduce the amount of toxins in the body, you can drink activated charcoal or entrosgel.

Questions and answers:

When can I get behind the wheel after drinking? It depends on the amount of alcohol drunk and its strength. Often at least a day must pass.

How to accelerate the elimination of alcohol from the body? The only way to speed up this process is to drink plenty of water and be active, but consider the increased stress on the heart and kidneys.

How to quickly remove alcohol from the body at home? Most of the methods only bring a person into a relatively cheerful state, but do not remove alcohol (for example, coffee). You can use succinic acid tablets.
