In today’s lifestyle, drinking alcohol has become quite common in parties and social gatherings. Even though experts recommend giving up it completely, if you are not able to stop it completely, then you can definitely reduce its harm by adopting some precautions. Gurugram’s cancer specialist Dr Vartika Vishwani has given some such important tips, ignoring which can prove dangerous for health.

According to the doctor, people often make such mistakes without thinking, like drinking in excess, consuming alcohol on an empty stomach or drinking along with smoking. If these habits are kept under some control, the harm caused by alcohol can be reduced to a great extent.

Avoid drinking excessive amounts of alcohol

According to the doctor, the biggest mistake is drinking too much alcohol in a short time, which is called binge drinking. This creates a dangerous element in the body, which damages the liver and also increases hangover. Due to this, problems like headache, vomiting, dizziness and fast heartbeat can occur. Therefore one should not drink excessive amounts of alcohol. Always keep the quantity less.

Why should one not drink alcohol on an empty stomach?

If you also drink alcohol on an empty stomach, then this habit can cause big trouble for you. In fact, by drinking alcohol on an empty stomach, the body absorbs it faster, due to which the harm increases manifold. This puts more pressure on the liver and the body feels bad quickly. Therefore, always drink alcohol only after eating something.

Do not mix different drinks

Many people drink different types of liquor by mixing it, which they think will increase the fun. But by doing this the amount of alcohol in the body increases and there is more hangover the next day.

Do not smoke with alcohol

Smoking cigarettes or vaping along with alcohol can be more dangerous for health. According to Dr. Vartika Vishwani, when alcohol and smoking occur together, its effect increases manifold. Due to this, the amount of toxins in the body increases rapidly and the risk of cancer also increases.

Vaping is also not safe

Many people think that vaping is less harmful than cigarettes, but it is not so. Doctors say that vaping is equally harmful and consuming it with alcohol can be even more risky for the body. If you are not able to completely abstain from alcohol, then it is very important to at least keep these important things in mind.
