Maybe you have heard many statements about drinking. For example, some people say that it is cool to drink the mixture of wine and beverage. People are rather familiar with these statements, and they believe these statements very much. However, many experts have pointed out that most of the statements are false. People should never follow the statements blindly. There are three kinds of lies about drinking to be explained here so as to help people drink in a healthy way.

The first lie to be explained is that it is cool and healthy to mix wine with beverage. Nowadays, more and more people like to mix wine with beverage. The collocation is rather diverse, such as beer and cola. People think the density of wine can be decreased because of beverage. According to the experts, the carbonated beverage can let off carbon dioxide in the human stomach and force the alcohol to enter small intestines quickly. In addition, the absorption speed of alcohol by small intestines can be accelerated. Thus the hidden danger to the human body is greatly increased.

The second lie is that it is dangerous to use sausage and preserved ham as assorted dishes. It is not suitable to drink when people are hungry. People should eat some dishes when they are drinking. However, they should avoid the dishes like salted fish, sausage and preserved ham. These preserved foods contain abundant pigment and nitrosamine which can react with alcohol to hurt the liver and oral cavity and cause cancer. In order to decrease the harms of alcohol to the stomach and liver, people should drink milk or eat eggs before they drink. The high protein contained in these foods can react with alcohol to decrease the absorption amount of alcohol for the human body.

The third lie is that people can drink strong tea or coffee to dispel the effects of alcohol. Many people think that strong tea and coffee can effectively help people dispel the effects of alcohol. In fact, the contained in tea can improve the urination and accelerate the aldehyde to enter the kidney prematurely. Aldehyde can stimulate the kidney and endanger it. Caffeine, the main component of coffee, can stimulate the nervous centralis and muscles. Coffee can transform the brain from extreme restraint to extreme excitation and accelerate the blood circulation, which can increase the burden of the heart and blood vessels and cause high blood pressure.

Therefore, in order to keep healthy and reduce the harms, people should know quite well about drinking and drink in a healthy and reasonable way.
