Drinking Today? Precautions for Drinking at Company Dinners - Im Eui-seok Dermatology Clinic

Drinking tonight? Healthy drinking! For frequent company dinners and unavoidable drinking occasions, please keep at least these precautions in mind when drinking!

Never vomit!

Of course, reflux esophagitis can sometimes occur due to poor eating habits or stress, but the main cause is alcohol. Vomiting damages the esophagus and causes dehydration and electrolyte imbalance. When drinking, try to avoid carbonated drinks or so-called bomb shots as much as possible, and drink plenty of water.

Adequate fluid intake is important

Repeated drinking occasions not only deprive the skin of moisture but can also lead to chronic skin problems, so you should drink enough fluids. After heavy drinking, alcohol is excreted in the urine, which also causes body water to be lost, so after drinking it is best to use moisturizing skincare products and drink about twice as much water as usual.

Have a light meal before attending a drinking gathering!

If you drink on an empty stomach, alcohol is delivered directly to the liver and puts it under strain. Having a light meal before drinking can help prevent alcohol from directly irritating the stomach lining and allow it to be absorbed in the intestines after lowering the alcohol concentration.

Do not try to cure a hangover with spicy, hot food!

The day after drinking, many people try to recover from a hangover with spicy, hot, and savory foods, but doing so makes the stomach and liver work even harder! To avoid irritating the stomach, spicy, salty, and hot foods, spices such as pepper, and greasy foods are a no-go! It is recommended to eat a meal rich in carbohydrates and protein.

Drinking tonight? Follow these precautions for company dinners, drinking gatherings, and alcohol consumption to enjoy drinking in a fun and healthy way.
