FUN WITHOUT THE HANGOVER
HOW TO DECREASE THE RISK OF ALCOHOL POISONING:
-
Consume only moderate amounts of high quality alcoholic beverages. “Standard alcohol dose” is 10 g calculated in ethanol (12.67 ml). It is recommended to take no more than two “standard doses” a day.
-
Do not consume alcoholic beverage on an empty stomach. Food decreases the absorption rate, thus the alcohol’s negative effect.
-
Avoid Carbonated drinks after consuming alcohol.
-
Avoid mixing different alcoholic drinks.
-
Mixing alcohol with certain medications is contraindicated.
-
If you are going to drink alcohol, make sure you have Filtrum® handy, just in case.
