translated from Spanish: The order in which we take alcoholic beverages affect the hangover?

there is a saying in English: “Beer before wine and you’ll feel fine, wine before beer and you’ll feel queer”.
The translation would be that, facing the more than predictable hangover we after having mixed various alcoholic beverages, it is better to drink beer first and then came.
Otherwise, it seems the next day we will feel even worse.
Anglo-Saxon popular culture is not the only one that reflects the belief that, when it comes to taking more than one alcoholic beverage, the order of the factors Yes alter the product.
However, a new study published in the ‘American Journal of Clinical Nutrition’ refutes the idea that the order in which we take alcoholic beverages affects the severity of the hangover.
So Getty ImagesUn became the study studied rejected the belief that the order in which we drink wine and beer can influence the severity of the hangover. Surprisingly, it is not known what exactly what causes a hangover, and science did not find you a really effective remedy.
To know if the order in which we take alcoholic beverages affects how we feel the next day, the scientists chose to 90 students between 19 and 40 years and divided them into three groups: the first group drank about a liter and a half of beer , and then four large white wine glasses.
The second group drank the same amount of alcohol but in reverse order.
The third group drank only beer or wine (was the control group) a week later, the participants of the first and the second group were exchanged, while those in the control group switched to another alcoholic beverage.
Asked that they deem how drunk they were at the end of each day of study and were under medical supervision overnight.
Getty ImagesSegún the study, participants who were vomiting were more likely to have a hangover worse. The conclusions of the study were that change the order of drinks did not result in a significant difference when it comes to rating the hangover, a thing made by means of a questionnaire.
According to the study, the feeling of drunkenness that participants had and the fact of whether were vomiting or were not the best indicators of how would feel the next day.
Researchers also managed to predict the intensity of the hangover depending on factors such as age, weight, habits of consumption and the frequency with which had hangover.
However, there was a difference between women men: it seems that they tended to suffer a hangover slightly worse than men.
Jöran Köchling, one of the authors of the article of the Witten/Herdecke University, explained: “the only sure way to predict how bad they feel the next day is how drunk you feel and if you are sick. We must bear in mind these touches of attention when we drink “.
Warning signs although science does not quite decipher the why of the hangover, believed that the causes have to do with dehydration, the immune system and disorders of the metabolism and hormones.
Dyes and flavourings may also worsen the hangover, which could explain what drinks with the same concentration of alcohol can cause a more severe hangover.
One of the findings of the study was that the participants who were vomiting were more likely to have a hangover worse.
Getty ImagesLos experts claim that hangover is the warning of the nature system to encourage us to drink less. mean that induce vomiting to get rid of part of the alcohol consumed and thus decrease the hangover also is a myth?
Kai Hensel, one of the authors of the study from the University of Cambridge, said that to get rid of part of the alcohol meant that the body would absorb less, which could make one feel better the next day.
But, even so, he said that it was a practice that it would not recommend.
“If you get to a point where you need to be sick, have probably passed the point of no return”, he added.
And it is that that they are unpalatable, hangovers have a purpose: experts say are warning of the nature system to encourage us to drink less.
Tips to avoid the hangover not there is a magic cure for the hangover. Anyway, it is possible to relieve the discomfort by moisturising, with pain relievers such as acetaminophen and ibuprofen and taking sugary foods.
However, there are some tricks that can reduce the chance of ending hangover, beyond the most obvious: drink less.
Do not drink on an empty stomach.
Not take drinks dark if you are sensitive to them (contains chemicals that irritate blood vessels and tissues of the brain and may worsen the hangover).
Drink water or non-carbonated soft drinks between each alcoholic drink.
Drink half a litre of water before going to sleep.
