Can hangover-relieving drinks really relieve hangover?
When it comes to hangovers, we have to talk about the decomposition mode of alcohol. Alcohol can combine with other molecules to form ester compounds, but it is difficult to find an enzyme that can decompose alcohol. In the metabolism of human liver, alcohol first stimulates nerves by forming alcohol dehydrogenase, thus producing acetaldehyde with drunkenness function. Acetic acid is formed by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which is then decomposed into carbon dioxide and water to be excreted, thus completing the metabolic decomposition of alcohol in human body. Since there is no substance that can decompose alcohol, there is actually no way to decompose alcohol that enters the human body by promoting drinks with hangover relieving function. Drinks mainly achieve the purpose of hangover relief in the following three ways:

First, protect the tissues and organs of the human body and reduce the discomfort of drunkenness.

Second, through the short-term combination with alcohol, the absorption speed of alcohol is delayed and the dizziness after drunkenness is alleviated.

Third, improve the function of the liver, so as to accelerate the metabolism of alcohol in the liver and achieve the purpose of hangover.
