Will it be better to take a shower when you're drunk

Taking a shower after getting drunk does not relieve the state of drunkenness, but may increase the risk of falls, low blood sugar, or heart burden. When drunk, the body's balance ability decreases, blood vessels dilate, and hot baths may exacerbate dizziness or cause accidents. Taking a shower while intoxicated may cause abnormal constriction or dilation of blood vessels due to water temperature stimulation, increasing the burden on the heart. Hot water circulation may accelerate the absorption of alcohol, and discomfort may worsen after a brief period of wakefulness. Cold water baths can easily cause chills and cannot accelerate alcohol metabolism. Changes in temperature can also induce arrhythmia. A sealed bathroom environment may exacerbate hypoxia and increase the likelihood of fainting. Some people mistakenly believe that taking a shower can eliminate alcohol through sweating, but the amount of alcohol excreted through sweat is negligible. After drinking alcohol, blood vessels on the surface of the skin dilate, and excessive scrubbing may cause capillary rupture. If drunkenness is accompanied by vomiting, the risk of accidental inhalation during bathing is significantly increased. Patients with diabetes are more likely to have hypoglycemic coma after bathing after being drunk.

After getting drunk, it is recommended to take measures such as lying on the side to prevent aspiration and supplementing sugar and salt water in moderation. Edible foods rich in fructose and potassium, such as honey and bananas, help stabilize electrolytes. Avoid vigorous exercise or inducing vomiting, and pay attention to observing breathing and consciousness. If pale complexion, cold sweat or blurred consciousness appears, seek medical attention immediately. Daily alcohol consumption should be controlled in terms of speed and quantity, to avoid exacerbating alcohol absorption by drinking on an empty stomach.
