deb medonald healthstyles What you drink, how you drink and where you drink all influence the effect alcohol haséon you. As with other aspects of nutrition, you can have your cake and it too if you understand some basic facts about how your body handles alcohol and you put these facts to work for you. * Eat something before you drink, preferably something that is not sweet and that is high in protein. Then wait 15 minutes before indulging. Twenty percent of the alcohol you consume is absorbed immediately and directly into your blood through your stomach wall. The rest is subsequently absorbed through the small intestine. Food in your stomach will act as a sponge and slow alcohol absorption through the stomach and delay passage into your intestines. So do partake in, the enjoyment of appetizers or cocktail nibbles at the beginning of the party. But try to stay away from really salty snack foods such as pretzels, chips and salted nuts. These will make you thirstier ahd thus increase the likelihood that you'll drink more thén you should. * Lower - the concentration of alcohol in your drink by diluting it with lots of ice and mix. 'But avoid carbonated mixers since these speed the absorption of alcohol. Water is the best; juices are okay too. The alcohol from distilled spirits is absorbed more rapidly than that in wine and beer. * Try some of the alcohol- free drinks such as nonalcoholic wine, beer and champagne. * Sip your drinks slowly. It takes the avefage person's liver one hour to break down the alcohol from one drink. * Know your capacity and stick to it. If your host keeps pushing drinks, ask for plain soda when you know that you've had enough. . * Remember, the smaller you are the harder you're likely to be hit by a given amount of alcohol. Women are generally more sensitive to alcohols VICTORY CHRISTIAN CENTRE Rev.
