Hold Your Liquor
October 29, 2008
If you are an avid partygoer or just someone who enjoys the regular tipple after a hard day’s work and think stopping off at the local pub holds the best pleasures, you may have heard comments on bar-companions who are unable to hold their liquor. Just so you don’t get to be at the butt-end of this common but rather negative sounding comment at anytime, we’re going to update you on what it means to drink without getting drunk – or in other words, how to hold your liquor!
The advantages of learning to hold your liquor are manifold: you don’t puke at a party and make a laughing stock of yourself; you cleanly avoid the DUI charge your buddies get hauled over and you get to appear suave and sexy to the ladies who may want a lift home. You also do without the rather annoying hang-over migraine and black coffee remedy those getting high would be required to take up once the hangover sets in good and proper, so listen up, guys!
If you don’t wish to join the motley gang of alcohol-impaired drivers or list your name on the losers’ date-list, which all women secretly exchange among themselves, remember to eat a proper meal before you step out on an entertainment option that includes drinks. Going out on an empty stomach only makes the alcohol flow in faster into your small intestine where it gets absorbed faster than you can say Jack Robinson – or for that matter, Jack Daniels – so stay fueled-up with wholesome food before you head for the bar!
The ability to hold your liquor is considerably increased when you concentrate particularly on foods that slow down the absorption of alcohol in the bloodstream, foods that are ideally high protein and fat or those containing carbs, e.g. bread and meat, reveals Dr. Harris B. Stratyner, the addiction specialist from Mount Sinai Medical Center.
Also, avoid mixing your drinks and stick to one type of liquor only to reduce the potency of the alcoholic effect on your body and you’ll stay in the clear of a hangover, provided you know your personal limit and also stick to that!
