What not to combine with alcohol
1. Greasy fried meat, smoked meat
When alcohol is better to refuse from fried fatty meat and smoked. During feasts, the liver is forced to work in the strengthened mode, neutralizing the toxins that come in the use as a large number of not very healthy food, and alcohol. All fatty and fried prolongs the effects of alcohol and this is an additional burden not only for the liver but to the stomach and gall bladder.
2. Pickled products
Pickled and salted vegetables – a traditional snack to vodka. If pickled vegetables maintain water-salt balance in the body, then marinated give an extra load on the liver and kidneys. In the preparation of marinated products use acetic acid. A vinegar and hot spices create an explosive mixture, heavy on the body already burdened by the alcohol. You can have a snack a salty cucumber or sauerkraut, and the best appetizer is the salad.
3. Grapes, melon, watermelon
Alcohol in combination with fruit enhances the fermentation process, as the body enters a large amount of sugar. Especially not to combine alcohol and melon. This product is not recommended at all with what to combine, but especially with alcohol. Melon provokes very powerful laxative effect. This category can also include mango and grapefruit. Grapefruit has the property to block the liver enzymes responsible for the breakdown of poisonous, toxic substances, trapped in the human body. Because grapefruit interferes with this process, the alcohol remains quite a long time in the human body in an unsplit form, and the result can be alcohol poisoning.
4. Fresh tomatoes
Contained in tomatoes organic acids in combination with alcohol (particularly vodka) provoke flatulence and other digestive problems. However, processed products of tomatoes (tomato paste, ketchup, sauce), this effect is not cause, therefore they are the tomatoes you can eat.
5. Sweets
Alcohol and sugar are processed in practically the same principle, but first to process the body will begin sugar, because it is energetically more valuable, but the alcohol will be cleaved more slowly. In the end, the release of insulin in the blood, rapid intoxication, and the brutal hangover, because the body had poisoned toxic substances from alcohol.
The ban is placed and chocolate. The combination of strong alcohol with chocolate excessively loads the pancreas. The result – a serious failure of this organ.
6. Carbonated drinks, energy
Absolutely can not drink alcohol, juices, carbonated beverages containing sugar and energy. Alcohol and sugar are involved in the same biochemical processing. Due to the high content of carbon dioxide, carbonated beverages irritate the stomach and increase the rate of absorption of alcohol. The result is rapid intoxication and severe hangover. In the energy sector contains high levels of caffeine and sugar. The combination of alcohol and caffeine can cause increased blood pressure, and even heart attack and stroke.
7. Coffee

Myths
Sometimes there are tips, before the meal to eat a spoonful of butter or sunflower oil. The fat coats the stomach and the alcohol is slowly absorbed. Actually – this is absolute nonsense. Another myth about drinking raw egg. Some truth in this, but the egg gives a heavy load on the stomach, so you can do more harm. Some suggest to drink vodka with milk. Don’t ever do that. They can put your pancreas.
What snack alcohol
Than you can drink and a bite to eat?

Salads and dishes with boiled potatoes, especially the vinaigrette. Potato is a great absorbent. Low-fat baked or boiled meat and baked vegetables. But to combine protein foods (especially meat) with sweet liqueurs or dessert wines should not be. This will violate the secretion of gastric juices, causing the meat to slip through the stomach and enter the intestine undigested. The wine is perfect cheeses. Drink alcohol is generally not recommended. But if during the meal you wanted to quench your thirst, drink unsweetened juice or just pure non-carbonated water.
