吃什么来消除宿醉?

You're enjoying beer, cocktails or some bubbly with friends, and before you know it, night turns into day, and you wake up with a massive hangover.

你和朋友们一起喝着啤酒、鸡尾酒或喝着香槟，不知不觉中，夜晚变成了白天，宿醉之后醒来。

You're not alone. About 76% of adults may experience some type of hangover after a drinking session, according to a study published in the journal Addiction in 2008.

你并不孤单。2008年发表在《上瘾》杂志上的一项研究显示，约76%的成年人在饮酒后可能会经历某种类型的宿醉。

Hangover symptoms include fatigue, dehydration, a headache or muscle aches, dizziness, shakiness, rapid heartbeat -- you get the idea. It's the worst.

宿醉症状包括疲劳、脱水、头痛或肌肉酸痛、头晕、颤抖、心跳加快——你懂的。这是最坏的打算。

"Just in the previous decade, we are seeing more sophisticated clinical and preclinical research advance our understanding of all that is involved in a hangover," said Laura Veach, director of specialized counseling intervention services and associate professor at Wake Forest School of Medicine.

维克森林医学院(Wake Forest School of Medicine)专业咨询干预服务主任、副教授劳拉•瓦克(Laura Veach)表示:“就在过去10年里，我们看到了更复杂的临床和临床前研究，它们增进了我们对宿醉相关因素的理解。”

"Briefly, we have indications that the immune system and an inflammation response is involved when that hangover alarm goes out, from the central nervous system, when the blood alcohol concentration finally gets to zero," she said. "The absence of alcohol in the body at that point is often where the hangover symptoms are at their worst."

她说:“简而言之，我们有迹象表明，当宿醉警报响起时，血液中的酒精浓度最终降至零，中枢神经系统就会发出免疫系统和炎症反应。”“在那个时候，身体里没有酒精，往往是宿醉症状最严重的时候。”

So what can be done to both prevent and treat hangovers? It starts with being mindful of what you're drinking and eating.

那么，如何预防和治疗宿醉呢?首先要注意你的饮食。

预防宿醉的小贴士

Of course, the best way to ward off a hangover is to not drink, or to drink in moderation, and to be aware of the risks that come with consuming a lot of alcohol.

当然，避免宿醉的最好方法是不喝酒，或者适度饮酒，并意识到大量饮酒所带来的风险。

"Most of the trauma patients I see on a daily basis, who have alcohol-related traumatic injuries, have not heard of risky drinking guidelines," Veach said.

Veach说:“我每天见到的大多数创伤患者都有与酒精相关的创伤，他们都没有听说过危险的饮酒指南。”

Yet some studies suggest that the type of alcohol you consume also may affect the severity of your hangover, albeit slightly, according to a small study published in the journal Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research in 2009.

然而，根据2009年发表在《酒精中毒:临床与实验研究》杂志上的一项小型研究，一些研究表明，你喝的酒的种类也可能会影响你宿醉的严重程度，尽管影响不大。

Compounds associated with alcohol fermentation, called congeners, are linked to increased hangover symptoms. They are found in larger amounts in dark liquors, such as bourbon and whiskey, than in light-colored liquors, such as vodka or lighter beers. So a darker drink might result in a harsher hangover.

与酒精发酵有关的化合物，称为同源物，会增加宿醉症状。它们在波旁威士忌等深色烈酒中含量比在伏特加或淡啤酒等浅色烈酒中含量高。所以深色的饮料可能会导致更严重的宿醉。

"At least two studies show more severe hangover symptoms occur when drinking liquors with very high congener content, but more research is needed since, for example, not all bourbon whiskey is made in the same process," Veach said.

Veach说:“至少有两项研究表明，当饮用同类含量很高的酒时，会出现更严重的宿醉症状，但还需要更多的研究，例如，并非所有的波旁威士忌都有同一制造过程。”
