Healthy Spring Festival The Spring Festival is approaching, and every family is busy celebrating the festive season. However, in a convivial atmosphere, we should also be wary of a potential "killer" - alcoholism. During the Chinese New Year, there is an increase in visits to relatives and friends, dinner gatherings, and people enjoy a good time, but the risk of alcohol poisoning also increases. In order to ensure that everyone has a happy and healthy Spring Festival, this article will provide you with a detailed analysis of the dangers of alcohol poisoning and preventive measures.
1. Alcohol poisoning: the number one killer during the Spring Festival.
Alcoholism refers to a state of central nervous system depression caused by excessive alcohol consumption, ranging from dizziness and nausea to coma, respiratory failure, and even life-threatening. During the Spring Festival, family reunions and friends get together, and it is inevitable that they will have a hearty drink. However, excessive alcohol consumption can easily lead to alcohol poisoning, which can cause irreparable damage to the family.
Second, the harm of alcohol poisoning should not be underestimated.
1.Damage to the liver: Long-term alcohol consumption or excessive alcohol consumption will increase the burden on the liver, causing fatty liver, liver cirrhosis and other diseases.
2.Increased risk of cancer: Alcohol is recognized as a carcinogen by the World Health Organization, and long-term alcohol consumption increases the risk of cancers such as laryngeal cancer, esophageal cancer, and liver cancer.
3.Causes acute pancreatitis: Heavy alcohol consumption stimulates pancreatic secretion, leading to acute pancreatitis attacks.
4.Affect family harmony: Alcohol poisoning not only endangers personal health, but also may affect family harmony and cause family conflicts.
3. How to prevent alcohol poisoning during the Spring Festival.
1.Control the amount of alcohol you drink: Drink in moderation and don't be greedy. Men should drink no more than 50 grams of pure alcohol per day, and women should drink no more than 40 grams of pure alcohol per day.
2.Choose low-alcohol wines: Prioritize low-alcohol wines and try to avoid high-alcohol spirits. At the same time, be careful not to mix different types of alcohol to avoid aggravating the degree of drunkenness.
3.Don't drink alcohol on an empty stomach: Eat some food before drinking and avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach. Protein and fat in food can slow down the absorption of alcohol, thereby reducing the level of drunkenness.
4.Drink slowly: Drink slowly and don't drink a lot of alcohol in one sitting. At the same time, do not drink alcohol continuously for a short period of time, so that the body has enough time to metabolize alcohol.
5.Don't drink and drive: It is strictly forbidden to drive after drinking alcohol to avoid danger. You can choose to drive on your behalf, hail a taxi, or use public transport.

7.Cultivating Healthy Recreational Styles: In addition to drinking, there are many healthy recreation styles. You can accompany your family to go to the movies, participate in outdoor activities or try some new entertainment to enrich your life during the Spring Festival.
4. First aid measures for alcohol poisoning.
In the unfortunate event of alcoholism, the following measures can be taken for first aid:
1.Induce vomiting: If the drunk person is conscious, they can try to induce vomiting to reduce the absorption of alcohol in the stomach.
2.Drink water: Drunk people should drink plenty of water to speed up the excretion of alcohol in the urine. At the same time, it is also important to avoid drinking a lot of strong tea or coffee, so as not to aggravate the degree of drunkenness.
3.Rest: Allow the drunk person to rest quietly and avoid strenuous exercise or excessive agitation. At the same time, care should be taken to maintain indoor air circulation to avoid suffocation caused by vomit.
