Even a glass of champagne can hurt if you drink it with products from our "black list". We present the top list of products that are incompatible with alcohol. 

 

1. Medicines

Sometimes there are situations when on the eve of the holiday you get sick, and you are prescribed medications. In this case, the patient must comply with the regimen and categorically refuse any alcohol for their own good, because drugs and alcohol are incompatible things.

Alcohol in combination with antibiotics nullifies all treatment, completely neutralizing their effect. Plus, this killer cocktail hits hard on the liver and other organs. Alcohol with analgesics and antipyretics also causes severe liver damage. And mixing alcohol with drugs for the cardiovascular system, you can get severe dizziness and nausea. Alcohol enhances the effect of sedatives and sleeping pills, such mixing can simply stop the heart!

 

2. Energy

Any energy drinks, or rather caffeine and other tonic substances in their composition, should not be mixed with alcohol. Energy drinks excite the nervous system, and alcohol, on the contrary, has a depressing effect. This crazy mixture does not allow a person to understand how much has already been drunk, so a person drinks a lot more. All this is fraught with unpleasant consequences for the body: pressure rises, vasospasms, convulsions, stroke and heart attack, and impaired kidney function may occur.

 

3. Pickles and marinades

Pickles and marinades have always been considered an excellent snack for alcohol. But no, it's not like that at all. Vinegar is present in almost all homemade preparations, and in purchased ones there is a lot of vinegar, which slows down the process of ethanol breakdown. Plus, the combination of salt and alcohol doubly dehydrates the body and causes severe damage to the liver and kidneys.

 

4. Sweets

Cakes, pastries, sweets, sweet fruits and berries should not be combined with alcoholic beverages. When alcohol is mixed with simple sugar, the process of breaking down the first one is much slower and, accordingly, the toxic effect of alcohol on the body is extended over time. The liver receives a large load, often failing to cope, which leads to mild poisoning.  

 

5. Fatty food

There is an opinion that by eating a piece of butter before drinking alcohol, we will slow down the flow of ethyl into the blood. But as in the case of sweets, the effect of alcohol on the body is stretched and causes great harm. Therefore, if you do not want to avoid intoxication and poisoning of the body, you should not eat alcohol with fatty foods.

 

6. Alcohol and alcohol

Many people love alcoholic cocktails, in which several types of "hot" are mixed at once. But it's better not to do that! It is impossible to mix alcohol of different production technology: sparkling wines cannot be mixed with strong spirits; everything above 35 degrees is not combined with beer, young wine and liquors.

There is a golden rule for cocktail lovers: the strength of alcohol does not matter, the body is badly affected by the different biological activity of alcoholic beverages and the rate of entry into the blood.

 

Remember, everything is good in moderation! In general, follow the rule: after a glass (glass) of alcohol, drink a glass of water. To health!
