February 6; As the Spring Festival approaches, the number of party drinking bureaus increases, and 5 symptoms after drinking may be a precursor to sudden death Beware of electrolyte imbalance when drinking at Spring Festival parties It has been on the hot search on social platforms, sounding the alarm for friends who like to drink and persuade drinking.
Don't be "greedy for a cup" when drinking during the Spring Festival, be careful of electrolyte imbalances caused by alcoholism.
At about 3 o'clock in the morning on January 28, Mr. Li, 33, of Jiande City, Zhejiang Province, drank a lot of alcohol on a whim when he was gathering with relatives and friends, and then vomited and became unconscious.
As a standard for celebrating festivals, the wine table culture such as "persuading alcohol" and "stepping on the box to drink" often makes people relax the control of alcohol consumption, and every Spring Festival, emergency departments around the country will usher in a large number of patients who are unwell due to excessive drinking. According to data, during the Spring Festival in 2022, the 120 dispatch hall of the Zhengzhou Emergency Medical Rescue Center received a total of 6,682 first aids** in 8 days, and received 2,025 patients, of which alcohol poisoning ranked among the top three, especially nearly 20% more patients with alcohol poisoning than usual.
Yang Peng, deputy chief physician of the emergency center of Xi'an Daxing Hospital, pointed out that excessive alcohol consumption will cause damage to the digestive tract and stomach, liver, pancreas and other organs, and may also bring about the loss of electrolytes and water, resulting in electrolyte disorders, which will bring some uncomfortable symptoms to the body. For some people with underlying diseases, or special groups, drinking alcohol is also easy to lead to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and even some other serious accidents.
According to a study published by researchers Liu Guangmei, Yu Linman, and Yang Chao in the 6th issue of the Chinese Journal of Drug Dependence in 2011, the incidence of hypokalemia in alcohol-dependent patients is significantly higher than that of normal people, and the risk of hypokalemia in alcohol-dependent patients with age, physical diseases, poor eating conditions, large daily alcohol consumption and long drinking time is significantly increased. In addition, long-term heavy alcohol consumption can also lead to impaired gastrointestinal function and impaired potassium absorption; Severe vomiting after drinking alcohol causes gastric juice to be lost and potassium is lost excessively, leading to an electrolyte imbalance in the body.
Doctors urged to avoid drinking alcohol as much as possible during the Spring Festival, and if you feel unwell after drinking, you should replenish electrolytes in time.
The Spring Festival is a time of reunion, and the most important thing for family and friends to gather is to be happy. If you can't drink, don't force it. Yang Peng suggested: "During the Spring Festival, drink less or avoid alcohol, and we should provide some help to drunk patients, such as supplementing electrolyte water and vitamins to promote alcohol metabolism, maintain the osmotic pressure and water balance of body fluids, and maintain neuromuscular stress performance." For drunk patients who are unconscious, care should be strengthened to prevent aspiration caused by vomiting and accidental falls, and send them to the hospital in time if necessary.
For occasions when you have to drink, Yang Peng said that everyone should try to avoid drinking on an empty stomach, and you can eat some high-fat foods before drinking to protect the gastric mucosa. In addition, functional drinks and fruits containing electrolytes can also help us replenish electrolytes and vitamins in the body, thereby promoting alcohol metabolism, reducing symptoms such as headaches and stomach discomfort caused by drinking, and relieving fatigue.
In fact, in addition to the regular sports scene, the use of functional drinks containing electrolytes is becoming more popular. Xiao Yang, who often needs to socialize at work, said: "Electrolyte water is very good for me to relieve hangover, and I usually bring a bottle with me, and I feel better after drinking it." ”
It is understood that groups like Xiao Yang, who are paying more and more attention to health, are gradually growing, and the electrolyte drink track is also changing. September 2023, offline retail monitoring network"Win now"According to the market share growth monitoring data released in the first half of the year, the sports drink category represented by electrolyte water continued the growth momentum of last year, and the market share growth rate still reached 3576%, ranking second among all categories. And Alien Electrolyte Water, which won with its core selling points such as ingredient list and taste, once occupied the mainstream position with a market share of more than 50%.
The Chinese New Year is approaching, and the potential health risks associated with heavy alcohol consumption remain. But despite this, on such an important day as the Spring Festival, I still hope that everyone can not drink, drink less, drink scientifically, and pay attention to prevent electrolyte imbalance caused by vomiting and diarrhea caused by excessive drinking. After all, health is the best New Year's gift we should give ourselves.
