Alcohol use has become part of people’s lives and it is now impossible to imagine rest and fun without it. Everyone needs to know how much they can drink so as not to harm their health and not suffer from a hangover.
How to calculate your dependent alcohol level
Giving tribute to tradition, people drink various alcoholic beverages at the table and during their rest. But everyone wants to avoid a hangover in the morning, to maintain their health. With regular consumption of alcoholic beverages, the risk of alcohol dependence increases. Anyone can find a relatively safe level of alcohol for themselves.
There is a special formula with which you can find out the dose of a drink once, when it is guaranteed that you will be able to avoid hangover syndrome: 1. 5 ml of pure alcohol per 1 kg of body weight. Given the fact that vodka contains 40% alcohol, in terms of this type of alcohol, you can drink 3. 75 ml per 1 kg body weight at the same time. If the drink is stretched in time for 4-5 hours, then the dose of alcohol can be increased by 25%.
It is imperative that age and gender be taken into account. The older a person is, the harder it is for the body to cope with the effects of alcohol exposure. The rate allowed for women will be half that for men. The presence of various additives, colors or flavors also exacerbates alcohol syndrome, so the side effect of such drinks will be more severe than from pure vodka.
There are other conditions in which a hangover cannot be avoided, even if the drinking norm is observed:
- mixing different alcoholic beverages;
- waiting for cocktails from strong alcohol and carbonated drinks;
- drinking after a sleepless night;
- smoking while intoxicated;
- drinking alcohol on an empty stomach or with fatty foods;
- non-compliance with a 20-25 minute break between toasts.
The best way to avoid a hangover is to drink in moderation.
How much alcohol can you drink per day without harming the body
When alcoholic beverages are consumed, a heavy burden falls on the liver due to the toxicity of ethanol. But the human brain is more sensitive to alcohol, in which the irreversible destruction of cells begins with the constant drinking of alcohol. The neural network is not able to recover until the next drink. If you do not know how much vodka you can drink and at what time interval, then you can irreparably damage your health.
Alcohol damages other organs of the human body, but they handle the load a little better than the brain and heal faster if the norm is followed and there is plenty of time between drinks.
The limit of a healthy person's ability to process alcohol is 2. 4 ml of pure alcohol per 1 kg of mass per day, and in terms of vodka - 6 ml. Once you have consumed such a rate, you should take an 8-day break in order for the body to heal and return to normal.
How much alcohol can you drink without the risk of sleep
The occurrence of alcohol dependence does not always depend on the volume of alcohol consumed. To a greater extent, the cause is hereditary predispositions and psychological factors. Even people who drink a lot when necessary can stay without drinking for a long time. But regular drinking over time can become addictive and addictive.
There is a term "critical dose" - this is the maximum dose for a person that he can drink without risking falling into the 2-3rd stage of alcoholism, when control over consciousness is lost and intoxication begins with a severe hangover.
A person who suspects that he is developing alcohol dependence should know approximately at what stage he is. This is important in order to prevent the disease from progressing and at least being stable at this level.
Such people need to remember how much vodka they need to drink so that they do not fall even lower and, showing willpower, stick to their norm while they are still able to control themselves. Increasing the volume of alcohol can lead to carelessness and excessive drinking.
People who consume in moderation and balance in stages 1 and 2 of alcoholism can drink 100-300 g of vodka 1-4 times a month. This will cause very little harm to the body and will not slide further towards alcohol dependence, which can occur unnoticed by the drinker himself.
Those who already suffer from alcohol dependence should completely stop drinking alcohol. Any dose, regardless of the species and species, increases the likelihood of recurrence and adversely affects health.
The age of the drinker should be taken into account. Those under 20 are more likely to sleep. Middle-aged men take the consequences a little easier.
Doses of different types of alcohol
Any volume of ethyl alcohol is dangerous to health. You should also be careful when consuming alcohol-based medicines and follow the rules for taking them. Do not ignore your gender (men are more resistant to the effects of ethanol) and forget about health problems and related diseases.
If there is no individual intolerance to certain types of alcohol, then first of all you should pay attention to the strength of the drink. With the same volume of alcoholic beverages, varieties with different ethyl content will have different effects on a person.
Drinks that contain different colors, flavors and types of aromas are much more harmful than good cognac or natural wines. Considering the individual characteristics of the body, each person has his own level of alcohol.
There is no exact figure that shows how much alcohol each person can drink, but the approximate rate is as follows:
- vodka or cognac - 75 ml;
- wine - 400 ml;
- beer - 500 ml.
Mixing different types of alcohol should not be allowed, in case of violation of these rules, the harmful effects of alcohol increase greatly. Women are advised to drink half the male dose. But even the minimum daily intake of alcoholic beverages can lead to alcoholism if drinking occurs regularly.
Who should not drink alcohol
There are categories of people who are contraindicated to consume any amount of vodka per day:
- persons with stage 2-3 alcohol dependence;
- epileptics;
- those who have suffered concussion or head injury;
- excited, aggressive, conflicting personalities who lose control of themselves after drinking.
People with various diseases should abstain from alcohol, and in exceptional cases, drink only with the permission of a doctor.
