Use alcohol properly during Tet holiday to be safe

Drink in moderation

We need to know our limits and not try to drink too much.

Limit the amount of alcohol consumed at one time. Limit alcohol consumption as follows: Drink ≤ 2 units of alcohol per day for men; Drink ≤ 1 unit of alcohol per day for women and underweight people. 01 unit of alcohol = 14 grams of pure alcohol; equivalent to 354 ml of 5% alcohol beer, or 150 ml of 12% alcohol wine, 45 ml of 40% alcohol spirits.

You should space out the time between doses to give your body time to process.

Eat before drinking

We should eat foods rich in protein such as meat, fish, or fried foods to slow down the absorption of alcohol.

Drink slowly and leisurely

Take small sips instead of gulping down quickly.

Do not mix different types of alcoholic beverages to avoid overloading the body.

Do not drink alcohol while taking medication

Alcohol can interact with many medications, causing dangerous side effects. We should only take medication with water and at least 2 hours apart from alcohol.

Do not drive after drinking alcohol

If we have been drinking alcohol, we should use public transport or ask someone to take us home.

Drink plenty of water and fruit juice

The benefit of drinking plenty of water or fruit juice is to help reduce the alcohol concentration in the body.

Avoid being forced to drink

Politely decline when you don't want to drink or have had enough.

Use quality wine

During the Tet holiday, due to the high consumption, the beer and wine market often has a situation of counterfeit goods entering the market. Therefore, we should check carefully before using, stay away from unlabeled wines, unknown origin, containing methanol or other dangerous chemicals.

Get help if you feel unsettled.

If you feel tired, dizzy, nauseous, have signs of poisoning or have any unusual condition, seek medical help immediately. Staying healthy during Tet is the best way for us to fully enjoy the joy with family and friends!
