Doctors spoke about mistakes regarding alcohol consumption.

Doctors from a popular health TV show debunked several myths about drinking alcoholic beverages. In particular, experts urged not to believe that some snacks can reduce a person's level of intoxication. In fact, it is determined by the concentration of alcohol in the blood, which in turn depends on the amount of alcohol consumed. Doctors also called the theory that the rule “do not mix different drinks” helps to avoid a hangover untrue. Whether or not there will be a hangover depends solely on the number of glasses, shots, and glasses drunk is also a myth. In fact, alcohol disrupts the quality of sleep, in particular its first phase. In addition, strong drinks have a diuretic effect, which causes a person who has drunk them to have to get up to go to the toilet,” explained medical workers. Another mistake is the idea that methyl alcohol, which is a strong poison, can be distinguished from ethyl alcohol. When drinking alcohol, it is practically impossible to distinguish ethyl alcohol from methyl alcohol, experts said. Neither smell, nor color, nor the ability to burn – none of this suggests the properties of the product.

In addition, doctors advised not to listen to the statement that in conditions of regular drinking, the “trained” liver gets used to processing alcohol and copes with such a load without consequences.
