For starters, the bad news. Intoxication comes when alcohol is already in the blood, and we can’t get it out of there. Ethanol is processed by enzymes at a strictly defined rate, which we do not influence, so it is technically impossible to sober up quickly. But you can come to your senses and focus to call a taxi, get to bed, or at least refrain from stupid things.

Stop drinking alcohol

When overloaded with alcohol, adding more to yourself is the worst idea. We stop drinking and are not looking for something to drink to let go.

You have to drink a lot, a lot. The more we drink, the more we excrete, and we need to excrete in order to remove the decay products of alcohol, get rid of nausea and dehydration. Therefore, it is necessary to enter the "drinking and pissing" mode.

It is allowed to drink water (only not carbonated!), juice, compote, tea. But when drunk, it is difficult to force yourself to swallow just water or even juice, but sweet tea, as a rule, comes in easier. However, if you do not like tea, but are able to drink water, do as you please.

But your favorite strong coffee works worse. Caffeine constricts blood vessels, helps to become more active, but in the end it does not contribute to detoxification, that is, it does not eliminate intoxication. Even worse: temporary mobilization after coffee can give the false impression that everything is in order and you are normal, and this leads to the most surprising and not always pleasant discoveries.

Tea also has caffeine, but it's there, so you can cheer up a little, but you can't deceive your feelings anymore.

Take sorbents

When you just realized that you went over, take sorbents. They prevent the absorption of alcohol, and something from the drink will not enter the bloodstream. Sorbents do not have a retroactive effect, that is, you will not sober up, but at least you will not become drunker.

Have a snack

This is also a way to slow down the absorption of alcohol if you drank a glass and realized that it was superfluous.

When everything floats before your eyes and you feel sick, perhaps vomiting is a good solution. If some alcohol remains in the stomach, then it will not enter the bloodstream. In addition, the body will not be distracted by digestion when it is already busy processing ethanol. You won’t become more sober from this, but the oppressive feeling of nausea will recede, and this is already better than nothing.

Get moving

It is best to walk in the open air as fast as your condition allows. It helps to focus and recover a little.

Take a shower

Cold showers are a bad idea. It, of course, acts approximately like strong coffee, but the effect of sobering up from it is false. But you can earn vasospasm or even drunk under a cold shower. So the water must be warm. And, in fact, a shower is needed to wait out the most unpleasant minutes in it, because it’s easier that way.

Massage your hands, feet and ears

This simple steps, which help to concentrate on sensations, increase blood flow to the head (if we are talking about rubbing the ears), so that for some time it will be easier for you to focus.

All of these half-measures help to recover a little, but you can sober up only with time. It is clear that this time is preferable to spend in a dream. It’s better to even take a nap for 30 minutes on a chair to gain strength than to overcome yourself.

But never go to bed if you can barely contain your nausea. Either wait until it gets better, or induce vomiting, or make sure that there is a person next to you who can monitor how you sleep. Otherwise, you risk choking on vomit.

What not to do

Many sites give more tips how to sober up fast. The effect is based on one thing: while you try everything, some time will pass and you will feel better. But some of these methods are dangerous to health. So you don't need:

1. smoke. In the blood, and so a killer cocktail. Where else is nicotine?
2. Drink medicine. Do not combine any medication with alcohol intake. Firstly, if you come up with such a brilliant idea, you are no longer able to read the instructions. Secondly, drugs are excreted in the same way as alcohol: mainly by the liver and kidneys, which are already overloaded. Thirdly, it is unlikely that you will be able to correctly assess your condition if drugs with alcohol cause side effects.
3. Smell ammonia. Only if you don't want to be sick.
4. Go to the bath. The bath really brings to life, but it’s not worth climbing into a hot steam room drunk: there is a high risk of getting burned, overheating or earning a heart attack. So this is a way for very healthy and not very drunk.
5. Train. It's just not safe when you're drunk. You're more likely to get injured, not sober.

In short:

Ways to sober up for 30 minutes:

1. induce vomiting;
2. drink black coffee or strong tea;
3. foot massage and auricles;
4. rinse your mouth with soda, brush your teeth, chew mint or bay leaf;
5. wash up cold water or snow, take cold shower.

Ways to sober up for a long time (or if alcohol is still entering the blood):

1. enema and gastric lavage;
2. smell ammonia(not to drink!);
3. take ascorbic acid (2.5 g per 70 kg of body weight);
4. after 10-15 minutes, take at least 10 ml of a 5% solution of thiamine (vitamin B1);
5. go out into the fresh air;
6. steam bath or sauna (if there are no heart problems);
7. diuretics (veroshpiron, plentiful drink, green tea, watermelon, etc.);
8. short, but intense physical activity with an increase in heart rate twice.

What does "sober up" mean. How to achieve sober behavior and how to quickly remove alcohol from the body

It happens that in the midst of protracted holidays, circumstances at the most unexpected moment require a sudden and rapid transition from a state of intoxication to a state that requires meaningful action.

The author of this article is aware of the episode when one of the participants drunk company got knife wound, and it took fast delivery to the nearest institution capable of providing surgical care. At the same time, there was not a single sober person among those able to drive. It was impossible to call for help, and the only way out was to choose the least drunk person and try to a short time improve his mental perception and motor skills to a level that allows a person to drive a car and not get into an accident.

One important point. If you want alcohol that has already entered the body earlier to somehow be excreted or destroyed in a matter of minutes, then we have to disappoint you: without the use of special efferent (forcibly removing foreign substances) methods available only in specialized toxicological departments and centers, this problem is unsolvable in principle. but there are methods that will allow you to achieve sober behavior from a person for a short time.

Therefore, the advice will be different: depending on how long you need to come to a sober state, and also and mainly on whether the drunk alcohol still enters the bloodstream (scientifically, the resorption phase) or is already excreted and destroyed (elimination phase). ). That is, the question is: how to quickly remove alcohol from the bloodstream.

How to understand it?

• by changes in feelings and behavior;
• you can focus on the fact that the maximum concentration of alcohol in the blood will be about an hour and a half after drinking. But some drinks are absorbed faster and, accordingly, excreted faster: these are carbonated drinks and champagne; drinks with a temperature higher than body temperature; drinks that you drink in small portions and keep in your mouth for a long time (alcohol is absorbed through the mouth too);
• the onset of the phase of the withdrawal of alcohol from the blood is evidenced by the appearance of a fumes odor instead of the smell of alcohol, as well as the beginning of running around for small needs.

How to sober up short term

If you need to sober up for 20 - 25 minutes, and the amount of alcohol in the blood is already decreasing (see above), then you can try to limit yourself to drugs that increase the tone of the nervous system. This will help folk way such as washing with cold water or snow, as well as cold showers or bathing in cold water, massaging the feet and ears, toileting the mouth (gargling with sparkling water, brushing teeth, chewing mint or bay leaf). For ingestion, black coffee or very strong tea is good.

The best result will be obtained on a man 30 - 38 years old, who regularly drinks, but is not an alcoholic, who used weak or quickly absorbed drinks.

Since fluid intake increases the absorption of previously taken alcohol in the stomach, it is advisable to empty the stomach by inducing vomiting before drinking coffee or tea.

However, it is better not to put a person behind the wheel of a car who has sobered up with the help of coffee. Researchers from Temple University in Philadelphia (USA) argue that drinking in combination with coffee increases the risk of getting into trouble. A drunk person realizes that he is drunk and may be inadequate. However, having cheered up with the help of coffee, it seems to a person that he can handle much more than he actually does: in fact, he is still drunk. He still has the same altered state of consciousness and movement disorders, as usual with drunks, but at the same time he feels more cheerful and begins to behave more boldly, not calculating his strength correctly. American researchers experimented on mice and made sure that they have the same thing: mice that have received coffee and alcohol take extra risks in a maze with traps, while just drunk mice behave more calmly, and sober mice behave after coffee. anxious but careful.

How to sober up for a long time (more than half an hour)

If it is necessary to maintain the state of sobering up for more than half an hour, and also in the event of a critical situation when alcohol is still entering the bloodstream (see above), one cannot do without measures that reduce resorption, as well as measures to accelerate the removal of alcohol from the blood. So, how to quickly remove alcohol from the blood?

Ideally, you need purgation in the form of at least three times high enema, with a total of at least 2 liters of water at room temperature, then repeated gastric lavages - in portions of at least 700 ml of water, in total at least 5 - 8 liters of water.

After washing the gastrointestinal tract, you should:

How else can you quickly remove alcohol from the blood

Accelerates the excretion of alcohol, which has already managed to get into the blood, at home:

• increased oxygen consumption (fresh air);
• steam bath or sauna (only if you are sure that you do not have high blood pressure and pulse, and also if you definitely do not have heart problems!);
• diuretics. A diuretic effect can be obtained by drinking a large amount of liquid (preferably mineral water), non-alcoholic beer. Also diuretic effect oatmeal broth, watermelon, zucchini, garden strawberries and strawberries, dandelion, green tea, veroshpiron (spironolactone) will be provided. To avoid complications, do not take furosemide with alcohol.

How to get rid of the smell of fume

Fume is an unpleasant odor from the mouth, which is formed by incompletely oxidized products of alcohol processing. To get rid of it, it is not enough to “seize” the fumes smell with something even more strongly smelling. Only the elimination of the cause of the smell will help, that is, the removal of toxic products of the breakdown of alcohol from the body.

The most effective detox measures are cleansing gastrointestinal tract and taking diuretics. How to get rid of fumes using other means, read in a separate, detailed article. And also see the scheme that will allow you not to waste time on nonsense, but to focus on effective actions:

If the smell of fumes does not go away for a long time or if it appears without drinking alcohol, it is recommended to consult a doctor to identify and eliminate the causes of this unpleasant phenomenon.

How men and women sober up. Is there a difference?

The nature of intoxication in terms of psychomotor consequences is also manifests differently in men and women. So, in women, motor disorders precede psycho-emotional ones, and in men, as a rule, the opposite is true.

Therefore, for example, a man should be chosen for a forced trip by car or control of a complex device, even if he objectively drank more, and a woman for negotiations.

ammonia warning

Very often on the Internet and in the press for sobering up, it is recommended to take a very weak solution of ammonia by mouth: a few drops of ammonia in a glass of water. We cannot recommend this recipe. Theoretical basis there is no such recommendation at the current level of representation. Practical experience, which would speak about the effectiveness or inefficiency of the method, doctors do not have either.

Can you trust online blood alcohol calculators?

There are blood alcohol calculators on the Internet. They are often used in cases where they "took on the chest" - and soon you need to drive or go to an important meeting. And the person wants to know if he will have time to cheer up and come to his senses. right moment time.

If you enter the same data into different online calculators, it turns out that they show different results. Which result is closer to the truth in this case? Our expert, toxicologist Stanislav Radchenko explains that different calculators can use different toxicokinetic (or other) models - that is, take as a basis different rates of alcohol absorption into the blood, processing and excretion from the body. Therefore, they give different results.

It is difficult to say which of the calculators is more accurate, because they all show an average result. Real result in each case depends on a very large number of parameters: age, sex, weight, blood type, chronic diseases, current state health (even ordinary fatigue or mood swings can affect), medications taken that day, food, other drinks, whether the drinking took place indoors or outdoors, how high-quality the alcoholic drink was, and so on. Therefore, if you really want to use an online calculator, then it’s better to count on the one that, as a result, shows more for a long time: it will be more reliable than if you rely on less time and be deceived in your expectations.

If you need to get behind the wheel, and you recently drank alcohol - do not take risks and do not rely on calculators. Use a breathalyzer. It is really reliable and it is with them that the police will check you in case of anything.

Please note that in this article we rely only on scientific data. Beware of advice on other sites, if you are not sure that they are given by a scientist, a specialist. You should not trust your body to charlatans, because only science gives verifiable and reliable results. On the Internet, anyone can write anything on any topic, but we remain the only site in our niche that does not save energy on searching and checking information, and orders articles from real experts.

Alcohol enters the blood from the stomach and intestines

The maximum concentration of alcohol in the blood by oral intake reached in an average of 1.5 hours. When taken orally (through the mouth), as in most cases, approximately 20% of the incoming alcohol is absorbed into the blood from the stomach, 80% from the intestines. Drinks with a strength of up to 30%, champagne, cocktails are absorbed faster; the resorption rate also increases in the case of all kinds of causes that increase the permeability of the gastrointestinal barrier, i.e., for example, in the presence of gastritis, peptic ulcer, GERD, enterocolitis, with elevated temperature body.

... or through the oral cavity

Resorption can also occur through the oral mucosa. The amount of alcohol absorbed through the oral mucosa depends on several conditions, which can be read about in other articles on this site:

• gas bubbles in liquid;
• if a person holds a drink in his mouth for a long time;
• small dose intake
• the temperature of the drink is above body temperature.

Usually, up to 10% of the total volume of alcohol enters the blood through the oral cavity. This is important to understand, first of all, because with the same amounts of alcohol entering the body, it leads to faster and stronger intoxication, but at the same time, intoxication passes faster.

What determines the strength of intoxication

In turn, not only the speed of intoxication, but also its strength depends on the rate of resorption. For example, achieving the same blood alcohol concentrations in different times will give very different pictures of intoxication. In the same way, with equal current values ​​of alcohol concentration in the elimination phase, intoxication will be significantly less than in the resorption phase.

How does drunkenness pass?

In the elimination phase, the processes of excretion and destruction predominate over the processes of alcohol entering the body. In people who do not drink regularly, almost 90% of alcohol is oxidized with the participation of the enzymes alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase, and approximately 10% is excreted unchanged from the body through emergency excretory organs - in our situation, these are the lungs (with breathing) and the kidneys (with urine). 1 - 2% of the incoming alcohol is decomposed by the enzyme catalase, which is present in the muscles and epithelial membranes of some organs.

If a person consumes alcohol at least once a week or experiences daily physical activity, then the role of catalase in the breakdown of alcohol increases significantly - in middle-aged domestic drunkards, as well as in athletes, catalase can destroy up to 12% of alcohol, turning out to be a significant factor in the so-called tolerance to alcohol. alcohol. Such an indicator as the ratio of the concentration of alcohol in the urine to its concentration in the blood differs significantly in the phases of resorption (0.68) and elimination (1.26). Some time after reaching the maximum concentration in the blood, this indicator is close to unity.

Sometimes, at the most inopportune moment, circumstances require a transition from a state of intoxication to a clear consciousness, the ability to act meaningfully. Next, I will tell you what you need to do to quickly sober up after vodka, beer or other alcoholic drinks. We will use only improvised means that are available at home and in nature.

Theory. Sobering up is the minimization of the effect of alcohol on the brain to a state where a person adequately perceives reality and can solve tasks for some time (maximum 40-45 minutes), for example, drive a car in emergency. Further, the drunk needs rest and sleep, attempts to bring him to his senses again will not give a result.

Only special efferent (quickly removing alcohol from the body) drugs that are used only in specialized drug treatment clinics allow you to sober up in a couple of minutes. All other methods begin to act after 15-20 minutes and do not remove the fume (smell from the mouth).

In a critical situation, the company must choose the right person who is able to sober up faster than others. Not necessarily it will be the one who drank the least. In drunken men, psycho-emotional disorders first appear (slurred speech, mood swings), and only then motor skills (movements) fail, in women - on the contrary. This means that a man is better suited to manage a complex device, a woman is better suited for negotiations. If it is noticed that in a drunken state a person does not feel pain, it is better to choose someone else to sober up, even if he drank more.

Fast sobering technology

To get the effect, I advise you to perform all the steps in the specified sequence.

1. Induce vomiting. This is necessary so that the remnants of alcohol in the stomach are not absorbed into the blood. In extreme cases, you can chew a few tablets of activated charcoal and drink them with a glass of clean cold water no gas but Activated carbon does not work as effectively as vomiting.

Next, you need to sniff ammonia or another volatile liquid 1-2 times with a sharp bad smell. If the drunk is unconscious, it is with ammonia that they begin to bring him to his senses and only then cleanse the stomach.

2. Wash with cold water. Brief cooling activates protective functions body, stimulates blood flow and invigorates. The main thing here is not to overdo it. Bathing in ice water and rubbing with snow is fraught with hypothermia, because a drunk person does not feel cold.

If there are no chronic diseases, it is better to take cold and hot shower. First, rinse yourself with water at a pleasant temperature, then make the water hot and pour over the whole body for 20-30 seconds, without staying in one place for a long time, then let cold water in, stand for 60 seconds, then quickly hot shower and finally cold again.

A contrast shower is sobering

3. Drink a mug of strong brewed tea or coffee. These drinks stimulate the nervous system and are a natural diuretic that removes alcohol from the blood faster. If a person has heart problems, tea is recommended. After 15 minutes, repeat the procedure. Between coffee (tea) you need to try to drink as much as possible more water or juice.

Attention! The body of a drunk person is dehydrated, so the use of pharmaceutical diuretics is contraindicated and can be harmful to health.

4. Get out into the fresh air. Ventilation of the lungs along with increased oxygen intake brings the body to life faster. Healthy people recommended short-term (5-10 minutes) intense physical activity with sweating and double heart rate. For example, you can shake the press or go for a run.

5. Tighten your mind. Quick sobering up largely depends on the activity of brain processes, which can be stimulated by meaningful conversation, solving arithmetic problems, solving crossword puzzles, reading poems to memory. At first glance, this seems strange, but mental activity helps.

Extreme way...

After doing desired task a person should refrain from further drinking and sleep for at least 5-6 hours. Remember that sobering up is not the removal of alcohol from the body, although it largely depends on it.

8. Good for removing syndromes alcohol intoxication following products, drunk or eaten at a time: whipped a raw egg, lemon, any other citrus fruits, parsley, garlic, Mint tea, honey, ginger. Drinking 2-3 glasses of cold water, mineral water without gas will complement the effect.
9. Glycerin gives a good result when sobering up. We mix the agent with saline in a ratio of 1: 2, take 20-30 mg 2 times a day. You can replace glycerin with succinic acid.
10. Proven recipe from narcologists: stir in 1.3 liters hot water 1 glass of honey, pour 1.5 liters of milk. There also add 20 powdered tablets ascorbic acid. The drink is made in a three-liter jar. You need to drink 2 glasses at once, the rest - if necessary during the day.

Remember - strong tea, coffee, green tea v in large numbers, massage of the nose, feet and palms will not help to remove the decay products of alcohol.

Tips for those who do not want to quickly get drunk during a feast:

• don't mix degrees alcoholic beverages, drink only vodka or wine during the party;
• do not drink mixed cocktails of vodka, beer and champagne, carbonated drinks, tonic;
• do not drink long slow sips, holding liquid in your mouth - this increases intoxication;
• pour chilled drinks into glasses, avoid heated mulled wine, wine at room temperature;
• eat more and more often sandwiches, cheese, meat, fish;
• sleep and rest before the holiday.

There are many methods that can help you sober up. For example, take a cold shower, drink sweet green tea, mineral water or citrus juice. Another option is to induce vomiting. Next, we will analyze in detail all the methods for any occasion of life. However, the best way out of a drunken state is a sound healthy sleep.

Alcohol leaves the body on its own in a day. Exact time correlated with the strength of drinks consumed and the amount of alcohol taken. If you drank hard, without denying yourself anything, then for sobriety you will need at least 9 hours of sleep.

For sobering up after taking light wines in small doses, 5 hours are enough.

This is a natural physiological process.

Features for men and women

Once in the body, alcohol is absorbed into the bloodstream and with its current is carried to all organs and tissues, providing both positive and negative effects. Only 20% alcohol in circulatory system comes from the stomach, the rest is absorbed through the intestines.

This is where the immune cells, so alcohol has the maximum effect on defensive forces person. The brain, its ethanol-sensitive neurons, is the first to encounter the toxic effects of alcohol.

Men and women perceive alcohol differently. The former first catch the psycho-emotional wave and only then cease to control motor skills. In women, everything happens exactly the opposite.

That is, where male body loses control of emotions without ceasing to be the master motor activity, a woman - loses the ability to move normally, while maintaining the idea of ​​\u200b\u200bwhat is good and what is bad.

That is why our desires and possibilities so often do not coincide. Nevertheless, business negotiations will be better carried out by a woman who has drunk a glass of wine, and a man who will cope with driving a car. And sober up therefore faster men: putting thoughts in order turns out to be much easier than restoring fine motor skills.

Light intoxication

If a person is not very drunk, there are several methods to bring him to his senses. The problem can be solved in 60 minutes with improvised means at home. You need to take a hard towel, dip it in ice water, wring out and quickly rub their ears. This stimulates blood flow and will help the body get rid of alcohol at an accelerated rate.

At the same time, a few slices of any citrus additionally will invigorate a person due to the antioxidant effect of vitamin C.

You should add to this a contrast shower and a cup of strong coffee, which constricts blood vessels and tones the body, a run in the fresh air with a diaphoretic withdrawal of alcohol residues.

How to sober up for a long time and not for long?

Situations in our life are different. There are cases that require quick sobering for a short time is one option. In other cases, sobriety is needed for a long time.

Fast and short sobering

Such methods bring a person to life in five minutes, but there are a number of related points that are worth paying attention to.

If a person drank more than two hours ago and alcohol has already begun to be excreted from the body naturally, it is worth focusing efforts on restoring the tone of the central nervous system. You can rub your face with snow, ice from the refrigerator. Smell ammonia. Massage the tips of the ears or feet. It will also help to rinse your mouth with soda or tooth elixir, you can brush your teeth or just chew mint, laurel. Strong coffee or tea works well with preliminary artificial emptying of the contents of the stomach (vomiting).

It must be understood that this method of sobering up gives only a short-term effect. After the goal is reached, necessary actions fulfilled, the person should be given a good night's sleep.

Sobriety for a long time

In this case, the basis is mineral water or citrus juice, which must be drunk constantly to stimulate the excretion of alcohol through the urinary system. You can help get rid of the remnants of alcohol by artificial vomiting, but all this is not useful for the body and gives heavy load on the heart and blood vessels.

At home it is better to take hot bath(shower) and sweat well.

Additionally, you need to include foods rich in vitamin C in the diet and do some intensive exercise- additional sweating. But the most preferable and most physiological of all is sleep. A couple of hours and you will feel much better.

Waking up, you should drink a glass of milk or kefir to restore the electrolyte balance of potassium, calcium, magnesium.

Sobering up in the street

A drunk person sobers up several times faster in the air. Especially if it's winter air. A few deep breaths will relieve brain hypoxia. In addition, it is recommended to swallow a few slices of lemon with salt to get rid of the fumes.

Fresh raspberries, asparagus, parsley, garlic will help in sobering up - everything that is at hand. If there is, then you can swallow a tablet of Alka-Seltzer or its equivalent and apply ice to the back of the head. And of course, move intensively: in this way, oxygen will reach organs and tissues faster, since the vessels will expand, and alcohol will be removed from the body faster.

To get behind the wheel

This whole system measures. First of all, you need to give an enema, and not once, but two or three times. Get under a cold shower and eat a watermelon (summer version) or drink sweet green tea - an antioxidant (winter version). 30 minutes to breathe fresh air. And after all this, if possible, you should call a taxi. Only in extreme cases, associated with a risk to life, you can drive.

But this is always very dangerous, because only after a day the body is completely freed from alcohol, until this moment - ethanol acts and the consequences are not predictable.

A variant is possible when, with a quick sobering up, an intoxication syndrome sets in, and then the driver himself will need ambulance.

Sober up the next day right

Sometimes the next morning after a feast, you need to have a fresh head. To avoid a hangover in this case, there are a number of rules that should not be neglected:

• At home, after the event, you need to clean the stomach and intestines: artificial vomiting and enema.
• Take an adsorbent at night (by the way, during a feast it should also be taken every hour). In the morning, repeat the intake of the sorbent.
• You can not drink on an empty stomach, and after each glass you need to have a good snack.
• Breakfast is recommended exclusively sweet green tea with lemon, without any hint of solid food.
• During the day you need to drink and go to the toilet. As much and as often as possible.

Compliance with these rules will help to avoid a hangover, remove the smell of fumes and even make it possible to drive.

True, everything will depend on the quantity and quality of alcohol consumed. But in any case, it is effective, effective measures hangover.

The most accessible and popular methods

After festive feast we most often face the problem of sobering up at home, which is why there is so much choice folk recipes and sobering cocktails from improvised means.

Sobering up without consequences after visiting a dosed sauna has been tested by time and people physical activity, glasses of non-alcoholic beer. You can sleep all night in a cool room, take an injection of vitamin B1, which in the body is transformed into cocarboxylase - a source of energy for the heart and blood vessels, drink raw yolk.

But sobriety cocktails are considered the most effective. This is an ambulance based on yolk and spices such as chili sauce, anchovies, malt vinegar. This combination allows you to protect the stomach, enveloping its walls with an egg, while saturating the body with phytoncides, trace elements, vitamins, giving the cocktail a piquant taste. Tabasco does the same.

Recipes

I must say that sobering cocktails can be both non-alcoholic and alcoholic:

• Auster: yolk, a spoonful of hot sauce and two - lemon juice. Juice, sauce are alternately added to the glass, and an intact yolk is placed on top. Drink in one sip. If you add a spoonful of cognac here, you get an alcoholic Auster.
• Lemon cocktail: yolk, two tablespoons of lemon liqueur and cognac. The yolk is also on top, swallow immediately.
• Rider: yolk, rum and citrus liquor, 20 ml each. After the ingredients are laid out in layers (the egg is on top), the glass is topped up with champagne, which speeds up the transport of ethanol into the blood.
• Express cocktail: a third of a glass of carbonated mineral water and a glass of dry red wine. Drink in one gulp, acts instantly.

When using sobering cocktails, three rules apply:

• Knowing of limits.
• Do not mix ingredients.
• How lighter color the contents of the glass, the easier the head in the morning.

The action of cocktails, rather, is a placebo, with severe intoxication, only a doctor will put you on your feet.

How to drink without getting drunk?

This real problem. But it is also solved if several conditions are met:

• Fill your stomach with food before drinking alcohol.
• Try not to interfere with drinks, but if there is no other way out, then adhere to the principle of increasing the degree, starting with low alcohol, gradually moving to the strongest.
• After each drunk glass or glass, you need to have a snack. If you do not part and maintain a half-hour break between drinking alcohol, using adsorbents every hour, you will not have to sober up urgently. It has long been customary that the Georgian feast with strong chacha is almost always long and sober. Georgians are masters of toasts. Until the wish is uttered, no one will drink. The toast is said for at least half an hour. That's the whole secret.
• You can not drink through a straw or hold alcohol in the oral cavity, this will lead to the total absorption of ethanol into the blood in the first minutes and the rapid damage to brain neurons with symptoms of intoxication.

Some cause artificial vomiting, but this is an extreme case, fraught with dangerous consequences.

In general, all tips for sobering up are related to time. While a person is trying in turn all the ways to put himself in order, time itself plays into his hands: alcohol is excreted from the body, and the drinker feels relieved. But some methods can be hazardous to health, so it is better to know what not to do under any circumstances than to eliminate the consequences of unreasonable behavior later.

• smoke. Nicotine will further weaken the body, in the blood of which there are already a lot of toxins.
• Take medication. None of these are usually combined with alcohol, as they compete with the liver and cause side effects that can be very difficult to manage.
• Smell ammonia (or do it in a toilet stall, as reflex vomiting is possible).
• Drunk go to the bath. Of course, a sauna or a Russian bath can bring the dead to life, but at what cost: tachycardia, pressure drops, stress on the kidneys, liver, lungs, skin (they remove toxins). Not everyone can withstand such a test. As a result, everything is possible, up to stroke, AMI, lethal outcome. Going to the bath is justified only the next morning after drinking alcohol or with very little intoxication, not for long.
• Load the body physically: training is excluded, chopping wood is dangerous, an injury due to a motor disorder can be much more serious than intoxication itself.

Prevention

This is not quite the correct wording. You need to be careful in your actions to sober up, if it is suddenly urgently needed. It should be remembered that the liver, heart and kidneys are under tremendous stress, so a cold shower or a cup of strong coffee can cause sharp drops Blood pressure, vascular spasm with an outcome in a stroke or heart attack.

Fume preparations are always multicomponent and often cause strong allergic reactions up to anaphylaxis or an asthma attack.

• Do not stir drinks.
• Do not drink alcohol with soda, free champagne from bubbles.
• Drink quality drinks and in small quantities.

For women, the dose is exactly half that.

Only the excess of such a dosage leads to a morning hangover and fume from the mouth.

And one more thing: it’s impossible to sober up normally before the physiological time for the withdrawal of alcohol from the body, under no circumstances, but creating the appearance is a real task. Of course, if the amount of alcohol consumed is not prohibitive.
