The culture of drinking alcoholic beverages consists not only of observing the norm, but also of understanding what can and cannot be consumed with alcohol.

Along with harmful alcohol, some products worsen well-being and often provoke heartburn.

Foreign nutritionists have listed harmful products that should not be combined or eaten before drinking alcohol.

Chocolate

It contains caffeine, which, together with alcohol, has a negative effect on the body.

In addition, chocolate masks the symptoms of intoxication, making it seem like you can drink more.

The best option is guacamole.

Fried food

Fried and spicy foods irritate the stomach, so it is better to avoid them before drinking alcohol.

It is recommended to eat oatmeal or meat with vegetables. It can be stew, baked potatoes or just fresh vegetables.

Carbonated drinks

The carbon dioxide they contain accelerates the absorption of alcohol.

Therefore, you need to drink a lot of plain water. It is also recommended to drink 1-2 liters of water more than usual before drinking alcohol.
