Can I drink tea immediately after drinking alcohol?

　　Can I drink tea immediately after drinking alcohol? Many people drink a cup of tea after drinking to relieve the dizziness caused by drinking. Is this scientific and healthy? Can I drink tea immediately after drinking alcohol? Let the experts help you solve this doubt!

　　Tea and wine can be said to be inseparable from people's lives. Many people not only love drinking tea, but also drinking tea to relieve hangover after being drunk has become one of the unchangeable habits. However, as research continues to deepen, it has been discovered that drinking tea after drinking alcohol can damage human kidneys.

　　As for wine, Li Shizhen proposed as early as in "Compendium of Materia Medica" that "wine is the beauty of heaven. If you drink it less, it will harmonize with the blood and circulate qi, strengthen the mind and protect you from cold, relieve sorrow and relieve excitement; drinking too much will hurt the mind and consume blood, damage the stomach and essence, and produce phlegm and cause fire." It can be seen that a long time ago, people have known that drinking should be moderate. At the same time, Li Shizhen also made a clear statement on the harm of drinking tea after drinking in "Compendium of Materia Medica": "Drinking tea after drinking can damage the kidneys, cause heavy waist and legs, cold and painful bladder, and edema caused by phlegm and drinking."

　　Due to lack of medical knowledge, many people often like to drink tea after drinking, hoping to relieve alcohol dryness and eliminate food accumulation. However, the theory of traditional Chinese medicine believes that wine has a pungent and sweet taste and enters the liver and lung meridians. After drinking alcohol, Yang Qi rises and lung Qi is strengthened. Tea has a bitter taste, belongs to Yin, and is mainly descending. Drinking tea after drinking alcohol, especially strong tea, is not good for the kidneys. After alcohol enters the liver, it is decomposed through the action of enzymes and eventually becomes water and carbon dioxide, which is excreted through the kidneys. Theophylline has a diuretic effect. Strong tea contains more theophylline, which will cause the undecomposed alcohol products to enter the kidneys prematurely and damage the kidneys. Although this damage is not easily detected immediately compared to the compensatory capacity of the kidneys, over time the damage can have negative consequences.

　　In view of this, those who have the habit of drinking tea after drinking should change it. Those who drink frequently can eat more fresh fruits after drinking, which can not only moisturize and dissolve food, but also sober up.
