You think responsible drinking is just about "knowing when to stop". But responsible drinkingis also about planning for tomorrow. It means being smart enough to enjoy your evening to the full... without sacrificing the next 2 days.

đž What's really smart drinking?
Â
Â
Â
That's not being a killjoy, it's :
-
know your threshold
-
plan for recovery
-
don't let your body freewheel after the party
-
avoid risky consumption such as binge drinking
"Responsible alcohol consumption includes post-consumption recovery strategies to limit neurophysiological effects." Rehm J. et al., Addiction, 2003

đŻ The 4 pillars of intelligent recovery
Â
Â
Â
1. Targeted moisturizing
Not just drink water. Drink with electrolytesbefore, during and after.
2. Functional power supply
Before the evening: meal rich in fibre, protein, healthy fats
After: broth, banana, wholemeal bread
3. Liver support
-
Vitamin C, NAC, zinc
-
Milk thistle, artichoke infusion
-
Antioxidant-rich fruit
4. Rest and cognitive recovery
Your liver is still working for 10 to 16 hours after the last drop. You need to rest it and not overload it with certain drugs such as paracetamol.
