Be it an evening party or a weekend vacation, drinking alcohol has become a part of the lifestyle of many people nowadays. But have you ever noticed that when you drink alcohol on an empty stomach, its intoxication rises more strongly and quickly? Some people do not pay much attention to this, but there is a scientific game of the body hidden behind it, which common people do not know. Many times, drinking alcohol on an empty stomach can also cause vomiting, dizziness, or unconsciousness.
According to doctors, when you drink alcohol on an empty stomach, it quickly reaches the small intestine from the stomach. The small intestine is the place from where alcohol enters the bloodstream quickly. Whereas if you had eaten food, it would have slowed down the process of absorption of alcohol and intoxication would have risen slowly.

The liver has to work harder to detoxify alcohol, which can lead to liver damage in the long run.
Doctors' advice
Eat something before drinking alcohol
Nuts, bread, salad or light food reduces the effect of alcohol in the stomach.
