Post-party diarrhea: what to do if I've had too much to drink?

The Impact of Alcohol on Digestion and Preventive Solutions with HANG-OVER

 

 

An unpopular opinion about alcohol is that it has a laxative effect on the body, but not all the time!

 

In reality, it's that one drink too many that causes diarrhea, and that's how your body tells you: "stop! I'm tired". A bit like the nausea you feel after intense physical exertion.

 

 

Sometimes, without realising it, we drink more alcohol than our body can handle.
Caught up in the mood, one cocktail quickly turns into 4 without us even noticing. The question that then arises is:
"What should we do in case of diarrhea?"

 Let's find out with Julien, Doctor of Pharmacy, in this video

 

Hydration is key

 

The first solution, and we can't say it often enough: hydrate! While you're drinking, but above all after. Alcohol is very dehydrating, and that makes diarrhea more likely.

 

Whole fruits such as oranges, slices of watermelon and grapefruit are real sources of hydration, and low in sugar. Being rich in fibre, they help regulate your digestive transit. They also make up for what diarrhea takes out of you thanks to their antioxidants, which help eliminate the toxins absorbed by the body.

 

Generally speaking, stopping diarrhea is simple. Depending on how much you've knocked back, it clears up naturally within a day or two.

 

Avoid alcoholic drinks with a high sugar content. Vary your diet, drink plenty of water and everything will be fine.

 

On the other hand, if it lasts longer than that, it's time to take medication and/or see a doctor, especially if the diarrhea has been going on for more than a week.

 

 

 

Precautions to avoid post-party diarrhea

 

The second solution is to drink less!

 

 

 

 

It's true that we don't often pay attention to this, and yet it remains the best solution of all. Alternating alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks helps your body stay hydrated.

 

Another easy and effective habit is to eat before drinking alcohol. Otherwise, the alcohol goes straight into your small intestine and disrupts your digestive transit.

 

 

Another important point: never mix your drinks. Switching from beer to wine wouldn't be very smart of you, unless you enjoy running back and forth to the toilet.

 

 

 

Thanks to its formula, HANG-OVER covers the full spectrum of veisalgia (hangover) symptoms.

 

Through the electrolytes in the product, HANG-OVER lets you rehydrate and proves highly effective at preventing bouts of diarrhea.

HANG-OVER gives real support to a body under intense pressure while drinking alcohol, and limits the effects of a hangover.

 

Remember to always drink in moderation, and only if you feel like it.
