I warn you that today I am not going to not drink

Scientific approach

Excerpt from Wikipedia: “Ethanol has a pronounced organotropic: its concentration in the brain exceeds the blood level. Even low doses of alcohol trigger the activity of inhibitory GABA - brain systems. Exactly this process that leads to a sedative effect, accompanied by muscle relaxation, somnolence and euphoria (feeling of intoxication). Genetic variations of GABA receptors may influence the propensity to alcoholism. Causes of hangover after drinking significant amounts of alcohol are still being clarified, but it is assumed that this is primarily due to dehydration, accumulation of acetaldehyde, changes in the immune system and glucose metabolism.

It is proved that small doses of alcohol have cardioprotective properties, may have anti-atherosclerotic effect. Alcohol increases the concentration of high-density lipoproteins, has an antioxidant effect, inhibits platelet aggregation, and also has anti-inflammatory properties. Alcohol use to reduce the risk of certain cardiovascular events must be balanced with the risk of developing alcoholic liver disease."

Hangover Fight

Vasily Shumov in his song “The End of the Tour” (the album of the group Center “I feel good. Part 2″) gives the following recovery schemes:

"First cognac, then kefir, then dry [wine] and strong tea...

My friend Englishman has his recipe:

In one glass – cognac, tomato juice, black pepper,

Salt, raw egg, Vorchester sauce,

All mix well and drink in one gulp.”
