The Hedonistlabs laboratory

 

Christmas festivities are often an occasion to toast with loved ones over a good meal. But beware: excessive alcohol consumption can turn these moments of conviviality into a difficult tomorrow. Beyond the hangover, excessive consumption can have consequences for health, digestion and even mood. We'll look at the effects of excessive alcohol consumption during the festive season, and give you some tips on how to limit its impact.




Why do people drink more at Christmas?


1. For the festive aspect

Christmas meals are often accompanied by alcoholic beverages: aperitifs, wines, champagne and digestifs. These beverages are an integral part of the festive tradition.


2. Social pressure
Saying "no" to a drink can seem difficult in the face of friendly or family insistence.


3. The length of meals
Christmas meals can last several hours, encouraging prolonged alcohol consumption.




 

The effects of excessive alcohol consumption


1. In the short term: a difficult future

  • Dehydration Alcohol acts as a diuretic, resulting in significant water loss and headaches.

  • Digestive disorders Nausea, vomiting and bloating may occur after an evening of drinking.

  • Fatigue Alcohol disrupts sleep, even if you feel you've slept for a long time.



2. Long-term: health risks

  • Repeated excessive consumption can damage the liver, cause weight gain or affect the cardiovascular system.

  • Mood disorders, such as anxiety or depression, can also be aggravated.



 

Tips for limiting excess alcohol consumption


1. Alternate alcohol and water
Drink a glass of water between each glass of alcohol. This slows down your consumption and keeps you hydrated.

2. Set yourself a limit
Decide in advance how many drinks you're going to have and stick to it.

3. Choose low-alcohol drinks
Opt for light cocktails or low-alcohol wines.

4. Take time to eat
A full stomach absorbs alcohol more slowly. Enjoy every dish and avoid drinking on an empty stomach.

5. Test alcohol-free alternatives

  • Alcohol-free party drinks, such as AQUAPOPoffer an excellent alternative for guilt-free toasting.



 

How do you recover from too much alcohol?

1. Rehydrate
Drink plenty of water or electrolyte drinks to compensate for mineral losses.

2. Choose the right product
Solutions like HANG-OVER are designed to reduce the effects of hangovers and speed up recovery.

 

 Take control: Try HANG-OVER now!

 

 

Christmas is a precious time, and it would be a shame to spoil it by drinking too much. With a few simple precautions, it's possible to enjoy the festivities to the full without suffering the inconvenience.
