The temperature of an alcoholic beverage affects the rate of intoxication, said Rustem Sadykov, candidate of medical sciences, nutritionist, gastroenterologist.
— The temperature of an alcoholic beverage can affect the rate of its absorption into the blood. The fact is that the rate of absorption is affected by the surface area of the drink in contact with the stomach. A cold drink has a smaller surface area than a warm one, so it is absorbed more slowly, the physician noted aif.ru.
Other circumstances also affect the absorption rate of alcohol:
- the type of alcohol,
- the amount of food in the stomach
- metabolism.
If a person is afraid of getting drunk too quickly, then drinking chilled drinks is a good way to slow down the rate of absorption, Sadykov emphasized.
According to him, the fact that you drank vodka cold or warm does not affect the hangover syndrome. Hangovers are associated with other factors, such as the amount of alcohol consumed, its quality, snacks.
To identify alcoholism, a narcologist can ask just three questions.
“Have your loved ones asked you to stop drinking?”
“Have you ever been ashamed of what you did while intoxicated?”
“Have you ever had a desire to get drunk?”
If all three questions are answered yes, then with a high probability the person has a problem with alcohol.
Symptoms of alcoholism when we can talk about stages:
- lack of control over the amount of alcohol consumed, inability to stop;
- memory lapses;
- hangover syndrome;
- drunken periods;
- appearance of external signs. This is a rapid aging of the skin, bulging veins, bruising formed due to ruptured skin capillaries.
