The use of alcohol has become a part of people's lives, and it is already impossible to imagine holidays and fun without it. Everyone should know how much they can drink so as not to harm their health and not suffer from a hangover.
How to Calculate Your Hangover Alcohol Rate
Paying tribute to tradition, people drink various alcoholic drinks at the table and during their rest. But everyone wants to avoid a morning hangover, to preserve their health. With regular consumption of intoxicants, the risk of alcohol dependence increases. Anyone can find a relatively safe level of alcohol for themselves.
There is a special formula by which you can find out the dose of a one-time drink, when it is guaranteed that you will be able to avoid the hangover syndrome: 1. 5 ml of pure alcohol per 1 kg of body weight. Taking into account the fact that vodka contains 40% alcohol, in terms of this type of alcohol, you can drink 3. 75 ml per 1 kg of weight at a time. If the drink is stretched out in time for 4-5 hours, then the dose of alcohol can be increased by 25%.
It is imperative to take into account age and gender. The older a person is, the harder it is for the body to cope with the effects of alcohol exposure. The permissible rate for women will be half that for men. The presence of various additives, colors or flavors also aggravates alcohol syndrome, so the side effect of such drinks will be more severe than from pure vodka.
There are other conditions under which a hangover cannot be avoided, even if the drinking rate is respected:
- mixing different alcoholic beverages;
- reception of cocktails from strong alcohol and carbonated drinks;
- drinking after a night without sleep;
- smoking while drinking intoxicating;
- drinking alcohol on an empty stomach or with fatty foods;
- non-observance of a break of 20-25 minutes between toasts.
The best way to avoid a hangover is to drink in moderation.
How much alcohol can you drink per day without harm to the body
When alcoholic beverages are consumed, a large burden falls on the liver due to the toxicity of ethanol. But the most sensitive to alcohol is the human brain, in which irreversible destruction of cells begins with constant drinking of alcohol. The neural network is unable to recover until the next drink. If you do not know how much vodka you can drink and at what time interval, then you can cause irreparable damage to your health.
Alcohol damages other organs of the human body, but they handle the load a little better than the brain, and recover faster if the norm is observed and there is enough time between drinks.
The limit of the ability of a healthy person to process alcohol is 2. 4 ml of pure alcohol per 1 kg of mass per day, and in terms of vodka - 6 ml. After consuming such a rate, you should take an 8-day pause so that the body can recover and return to normal.
How much alcohol can you drink without the risk of sleeping
The emergence of alcohol dependence does not always depend on the volume of alcohol consumed. To a greater extent, the cause is hereditary predisposition and psychological factors. Even people who drink a lot when necessary can go without drinking for a long time. But regular drinking can over time become addictive and addictive.
There is a term "critical dose" - this is the maximum dose for a person that he can drink without risking dropping to the 2-3rd stage of alcoholism, when control over consciousness is lost and drunkenness begins with a severe hangover.
A person who suspects that he is developing alcohol dependence should roughly know at what stage he is. This is important in order to prevent the disease from progressing and at least to be stable at this level.
Such people should remember how much vodka they need to drink in order not to fall even lower, and, showing willpower, adhere to their norm while they are still able to control themselves. Increasing the volume of alcohol can lead to recklessness and heavy drinking.
People who consume in moderation and balance at the 1st and 2nd stages of alcoholism can drink 100-300 g of vodka 1-4 times a month. This will cause very little harm to the body and keep from further sliding into alcohol dependence, which can occur unnoticed by the drinker himself.
Those who already suffer from alcohol dependence should completely stop drinking alcohol. Any dose, regardless of species and variety, increases the likelihood of breakdown and adversely affects health.
The age of the drinker must be taken into account. Those under 20 are more likely to sleep. Middle-aged men take the consequences a little easier.
Doses of different types of alcohol
Any volume of ethyl alcohol is hazardous to health. You need to be careful even when consuming alcohol-based medicines and follow the rules for taking them. Do not ignore your gender (men are more resistant to the effects of ethanol) and forget about health problems and related diseases.
If there is no individual intolerance to certain types of alcohol, then first of all you should pay attention to the strength of the drink. With the same volume of booze, varieties of different ethyl content will have different effects on a person.
Drinks that contain dyes, flavors and various types of flavors are much more harmful than good cognac or natural wines. Taking into account the individual characteristics of the body, each person has his own alcohol rate.
There is no exact figure indicating how much alcohol each person can drink, but the approximate rate is as follows:
- vodka or cognac - 75 ml;
- wine - 400 ml;
- beer - 500 ml.
Mixing of different types of alcohol should not be allowed, in case of violation of these rules, the harmful effects of alcohol greatly increase. Women are advised to drink half the male dose. But even the minimum daily intake of intoxicants can lead to alcoholism if drinking occurs on a regular basis.
Who shouldn't drink alcohol
There are categories of people who are contraindicated to consume any amount of vodka per day:
- persons with the 2-3rd stage of alcohol dependence;
- epileptics;
- those who have suffered a concussion or head injury;
- excitable, aggressive, conflicted personalities who lose control of themselves after drinking.
People with various diseases should refrain from alcohol, and in exceptional cases, drink only with the permission of a doctor.
