6 Tips to Prevent you Becoming Drunk
How to out think any drinker
A drinking culture exists in many countries, even those with strict prohibition in place.
A drinking culture, by definition, means customs and practices involved with consuming alcohol. Whether we talk about the French, who drink to savour the flavour; the Phillipines, where an opened bottle must be finished; Australia where binge drinking is glorified; or Spain, where workers enjoy a beer with a brandy chaser for brunch, drinking is socially acceptable.
Despite this acceptance, the consumption of alcohol can have negative effects on a person. Common effects include impaired judgement, distorted vision, memory loss and decreased coordination. As a non- drinker, you can take advantage of these short term effects on your drinking companions. But how do you drink with them, without getting drunk?
6 tips to prevent you becoming drunk
- Eat a quantity of fatty foods before drinking alcohol. Whether you eat bread and butter or ice cream, fatty foods will inhibit inebriation.
- Pay the barman to control the drinks: large quantities for the target; smaller quantities for yourself, but the same volume of mixer
- Lift the glass to your lips but only sip the drink
- Proactively refill the target’s glass once it becomes half full
- Mix a teaspoon of active dry yeast ( containing the ADH enzyme) with plain yogurt and swallow. Ideally, one teaspoon per 350ml of drink before you start.
- Take 300mg of Dihydromyricetin ( hovenia dulcis extract) and neutralise the effects of alcohol intoxication.
H.E.A.T. tip: Hold a glass of sparkling water, with ice and lemon, by your side. This suggests a self- confident drinker but you will always be sober.
