Do Doctors Drink: Healthy Ways to Reduce the Problems with Drinking Alcohol
TheDoctorsTV and Dr. Oz both discussed drinking alcohol on their TV shows today. Dr. Oz had an expert describe that vitamins would minimize the damaging effects of consuming too much alcohol which is considered to be a risk factor in many degenerative diseases, including cancer. The doctors took their entire hour to discuss the problems associated with binge drinking during Summer Break for students who travel to party and boogie down with booze and drugs. So here are a few healthy ideas with ways to handle the usual concerns with over-indulgence of the brewskies and the alcohol in numerous beverages and forms.
Obviously, the Vitamin B Complex assists in the metabolism of alcohol and carbohydrates when drinking. The human body also utilizes numerous trace minerals when breaking down the carbs in alcohol and the molecules that compose the beer, wine, distilled spirits, or even the alcohol in mouthwash and other common products. Liquid Ionic Minerals, including vanadium, chromium, zinc, and sulfur which can also be taken in the form of MSM. In fact, one of our friends who was a pioneer of MSM suggested that if a person took one tablespoon of MSM crystalline powder before drinking any type of beer or alcohol, they would not become so drunk that they couldn’t function or feel like getting sick. We will get you a preferential price on Ionic Minerals and MSM if you leave a comment.
You can take these trace minerals and MSM before and after you party with alcoholic punch beverages, beer, wine, or distilled spirits like vodka.
Now…we don’t condone anyone under the age of emancipation to indulge in any type of legal or illegal substance, but we realize that the kids will do it whether adults want them to avoid drinking or not…they choose to experiment. So, if they are thinking with even a few brain cells functioning properly; they will realize that moderation and methods to reduce the ugly problems associated with getting drunk on your butt will make a difference…especially when the pounding inside the head begins to shock them to no end! If they’ve never been drunk to the point of passing out, they will have little idea to know that they are getting close or that it can be a death sentence. Let’s face it, young pups think that they are invincible! We know differently from experience…
The first time that I got drunk with school chums, I begged our driver to pull over on the side of the road and stop for a minute while I got out and puked. It helped. So if you feel the urge to vomit, don’t try to suppress it. Your body is attempting to rid itself of too much alcohol while it is still in your stomach. If you are fuzzy and start to regurgitate, ask you closest friend to hold you upright or on your side while you empty the contents of your tummy. It’s not pretty and it tastes horrible, but it will help. Sip some water and get that gross taste out of your mouth…or else you’ll feel like vomiting again soon. Pick up some juice, some water, or some tea to give your body some time to adjust to the levels of alcohol in your body until you are certain that you can handle more.
Actually, if you’ve had enough to make your body rebuke what’s in your stomach, then it is really a good time to quit. Drink something mild and non-alcoholic and pretend for your image’s sake with your friends and those who you are trying to impress that you are still drinking booze. They’re probably too drunk to notice that you’ve switched to juice or tea. If you are as much fun as you think you are, you will still be the ‘life of the party’ without drinking another case of beer or emptying the pony keg with the nozzle stuck down your throat while leaning over and laughing with stupid abandon. Yes…we’ve seen those videos of you bozos on Spring Break and we think you look like total fools!
However, you do have the freedom to be foolish and stupid. Afterall, it’s your body and you are the one who is going to feel crappy the next morning or in the case of the Spring Break frenzy…for the next two weeks. You have to deal with the massively painful headache throbbing with each beat of your heart and every word uttered by those within ten feet of you. If you managed to put a bottle of PanAway or Lavender Essential Oil in your pocket before you got buzzed, then apply a few drops to your forehead and to your wrists hourly until the pain ebbs. You also MUST drink plenty of pure water to support your body’s attempt to dilute and excrete the excess alcohol.
We loved the flask bra that Dr. Lisa showed us, but if you really want to tank out with more than a few ounces in a size D cup; then get yourself one of these packs that you can put liquids in and wear it like clothing with relative comfort. While we suggest that you put Emergen-C with electrolytes of potassium, sodium, and other trace minerals to help you recover from your drunken stupor, you can also put pure water in this equipment. Then you can find a corner, sit for a few hours, smile at the people wondering if you are OK, and sip some water until you can stand up and boogie down again. Pace yourself!
I haven’t checked lately, but health food stores used to sell Happy Camper that truckers used while on the road. Although some regulators are concerned about Kava Kava and its effect on the liver, alcohol is more damaging to the liver, especially if Kava Kava is only used occasionally in proper quantities. If you want to be happy and have a good time laughing, dancing, and doing all the things that you do at a party; then take a healthy supplement with some nutrition, instead of drinking yourself into oblivion with beer. But if you insist upon guzzling beer, there are nutritional supplements like RU-21, Alcohol X, and others that will help alleviate that hangover, but preventing all the pain and discomfort of a hangover in the first place is preferable to suffering.
Eat well, especially beet, celery, carrot, and apple juice to support the liver and the kidneys after a night or a week on the town. No one in their right mind would damage their organs intentionally, so when you return to reason; drink plenty of freshly juiced vegetables to get your second chance at treating your body right.
You can use a CieAura Pain Chip to deal with the discomfort and put a Rest and an Energy Chip on your body, too, in order to restore some semblance of balance in your energy after the party when you realize you have to find a way to function again.
Sure, it’s supposed to be fun and with moderate consumption of alcohol, your limbic system and emotions are altered to the point that you tend to let your hair down and loosen up. But don’t get too loose! Drink one bottle or one mixed drink; then wait and see where you’re at… If you begin to lose your balance or your head begins to spin; then that’s enough until the effect wears off. If you have to pretend to guzzle a dozen drinks down in an hour or shoot twenty shots within minutes just to impress, then spit it out and fake out the people who are less bold than you are! Even if the floor gets sticky and you slip and fall on your butt; that’s better than losing consciousness and never waking up again to face those who drank less than you did! Who are you really trying to impress anyway…the idiots? What kind of social stroke is that going to get you? None…right! So earn the respect of those who know how to pace their party behavior and live the next day to have survived the craziness. In fact, wear that red watch and help out your fellow students instead of becoming a statistic yourself. You’ll get more recognition and brownie points when you help the others who have over-indulged in brewskies and recreational drugs while on break in a foreign country far from home.
You know, you can have a great time and make memories that you’ll actually be able to recall without drinking alcohol. I have for decades and there’s plenty of fun and frolicking to go around with healthy food and beverages. My grown children always had the choice to drink a bottle or two of Red Wine during wine ceremonies and they chose not to drink too much alcohol, but still participate in the process. I admire them for their maturity and good sense.
Have fun, but don’t compromise your health by engaging in ridiculous behavior. Stay in touch with people who care about you and be sure you have healthy food and good water with you to sustain your body. Perhaps you’ll survive Spring Break parties without losing your mind or your life.
