Things to do to help your body recover quickly after drinking alcohol

Drink plenty of water

Alcohol is a diuretic that causes dehydration. Drinking plenty of water will help replace lost fluids and help your body eliminate toxins quickly.

People who are drunk should drink plenty of water to help the body have enough fluid to excrete alcohol and its metabolites through urine, helping the alcohol excretion process to be quick and preventing dehydration due to vomiting.

If you don’t have time to prepare, just drink plenty of water. This is the simplest and fastest way to sober up.
