Myths and reality: It really helps against hangovers

class=”sc-29f61514-0 icZBHN”>

The world’s largest techno party in the Zurich lake basin is a mega event and will take place this Saturday. The morning after the Street Parade: Your skull feels like you’re doing a handstand. It is, of course, misleading to think that a night of drinking leaves no trace. But with a few little tips, at least the worst evil can be mitigated: hangovers. Such tricks can be found in abundance on referral sites on the Internet. But which ones are good and which ones belong to the realm of myths and legends?

Let’s start with one of the most common hangover tips: A beer in the morning will banish the hangover. Young people especially love it. It must be the placebo. It’s a legend. A hangover is a sign of poisoning, so taking more poison will not help.

This is also popular advice before diving into the nightlife. And that’s true. Pure olive oil may not taste very good, but it actually helps the hangover move more in the realm of a house cat and not an adult tiger.

This is because fat limits the body’s ability to absorb alcohol into the blood. By the way, a similar effect is achieved if you eat fatty foods.

This common assumption is wrong. Or at least not yet scientifically proven. A hangover is mostly caused by the amount, not the drink.

Unfortunately this is not true either. Alcohol is broken down in the liver, and it just takes time. Jogging or cycling doesn’t help either. But what’s definitely good is the fresh air. So get out of bed and be in touch with nature.

“Having good soil” is what people call a full stomach before drinking. The idea behind this: If you ate a lot, you could drink more and get less drunk. And even that is true. The more we eat, the longer it takes for the alcohol to take effect. Meanwhile, high-fat and high-carb foods such as pizza or pasta are best suited for “bödele”.

This is logically true – vitamins always help. Alcohol destroys the important ones, which causes the body to fatigue. Vitamin supplements can support the liver. It’s best to take them before you start drinking. That’s a pretty worthless tip if you spontaneously end up in an alley. Fortunately, the Street Parade can be planned quite well.

Vitamins B and C help detoxify the liver. If you don’t want to take any supplements, you can also take vitamins naturally. For example, vitamin B is mainly found in animal products such as meat, milk or cheese. Vitamin C is mainly found in fruits and vegetables.

Not true. Alcohol breaks down in the liver, and even the longest and hottest shower can’t help. By the way, for the same reason you can not drink alcohol by sweating in the sauna. Only five percent of the alcohol is excreted through the skin in sweat, the rest is broken down quite normally.

Best tip ever and of course absolutely true. It makes sense to drink enough water at any time of the celebration, before, after, or while drinking. Alcohol draws water from the body. A glass of water after each drink would be best. This avoids the risk of the body becoming dehydrated.

But even those who follow all these tips and tricks will feel like a night of drinking the next morning. And even if the hangover is already there, there are tricks on how to fight it, at least a little. Here, too, one thing applies above all else: drink plenty of water!
