Kiev. Ukraine. Ukraine Gate – December 23, 2020 – Health
It is dangerous for health to mix drinks based on grape and grain alcohol, Russian doctors warned on the eve of the New Year holidays.
Doctors state that one should try not to mix alcoholic drinks of different origin at the festive table. According to Anna Koshechkina, a pharmacist and researcher at the Federal Research Center of Nutrition and Biotechnology, Anna Koshechkina, it is really dangerous for health to combine champagne with grain alcohol – this can contribute to a severe hangover and poisoning.
“In addition to ethyl alcohol, sparkling wine contains other alcohols of aromatic and isomeric series. In combination with other alcohol, their negative effect is enhanced and can cause intoxication,” the expert warned.
According to another doctor, psychiatrist-narcologist Yevgeny Brun, the best choice at a New Year’s party would be dry white wine in moderation. Also, the doctor recommended to maintain as long pauses as possible between drinks.
Koshechkina, in turn, added that “it is desirable to make the transition from white to red, from dry to sweet, but not vice versa.”
