Are anti-alcohol drugs really so magical?Many medical studies have clearly stated that most hangover drugs on the market are ordinary health foods, and it is impossible to reduce blood alcohol levels. "There are no anti-alcohol drugs. ”
* Alcoholics boast of "a thousand cups without getting drunk."
If only there was a medicine that would satisfy the needs of social gatherings without getting drunk!"This is the "desire" of many "alcoholics", and as a result, a wide variety of hangover products have been produced on the market. Bian Xiao entered the prohibition drug on **. More than 144 products were discovered in just a few seconds, ranging from more than 1 to more than 1. The origin of the product is also from to "import".
Most of the anti-alcohol drugs on the internet are under the exaggerated banner of "a thousand glasses not drunk", claiming that they can make it difficult for people who are often drunk to get drunk, and for people who can't drink. A popular ** "secret anti-alcohol drug" advertisement states that "taking this product before drinking alcohol can double the amount of alcohol consumed;."Taking this product after drinking too much alcohol can significantly reduce or even eliminate discomfort. Bian Xiao observed that the packaging of the anti-alcohol drug did not have the manufacturer's address, no production license number, and no "drug standard name." At a "anti-alcoholic" drug, the owner said that taking pills before and after drinking alcohol can avoid drunkenness and hangovers. However, this product does not have any production approval number.
After the salesman persuaded the medicine, "two by two for half a kilogram." ”
Bian Xiao recently visited several chain pharmacies. When asked if they have anti-alcohol medications, the clerk takes out several supplements to help protect the liver. **Usually more than $4 per box. Most of the ingredients are vitamins, taurine, calcium pantothenate, etc. In some pharmacies, there are even tour guides who come up with a product that is advertised on TV. They say that this health supplement sells well and has a better hangover effect. They can be taken half an hour before drinking.
Say "No anti-alcohol drugs." ”
Anti-alcoholic drugs?Bian Xiao randomly asked many citizens who often drank alcohol. Most of them replied that "it feels somewhat useful", "it relieves certain symptoms after drinking", or "eating is better than not eating" However, no one said that taking anti-alcohol drugs prevents people from getting drunk. Mr. Lee, who works in sales, confesses to the confession that he has had many painful experiences with drunkenness before. Later, the boss advised him to take some anti-alcohol drugs. "The next day, the headache did lessen a lot, but he wasn't drunk when he was drunk. "Mr. Li still remembers one time when he drank a lot of "mixed wine" in the middle of the night and ran to the bathroom to swallow more than a dozen hangover drugs. As a result, he was drunk and unconscious, and was "embarrassed" to be brought back by his wife.
However, in the eyes of medicine, the anti-alcohol effects promoted by anti-alcoholic drugs are more of a "legend". When alcohol enters the human body, alcohol deoxygenase is responsible for oxidizing alcohol into acetaldehyde, and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in the liver oxidizes acetaldehyde into acetic acid, which is eventually decomposed into carbon dioxide and water and excreted from the body. Some hangover drugs promote a "hangover mechanism" that increases the efficiency of alcohol catabolism by increasing the activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. In this regard, the hospital's TCM abstinence from alcohol pointed out that the amount of alcohol catabolized by the human body in a unit of time is certain, in other words, a person's alcohol consumption is constant over a period of time. If you take hangover medications, there may be an increase in enzyme activity in the liver, but it is not possible to reduce the concentration of alcohol in the blood in a short period of time.
