Abstract

Introduction The concept of “intestinal drinking” in this study refers to the continued absorption of alcohol in the gastrointestinal tract until adequate defecation occurs. Material and methods A longitudinal observation of hangover symptoms and alcohol metabolites in healthy humans following binge drinking was conducted. Results The hangover symptoms resulting from binge alcohol consumption were relieved by defecation. Following the defecation process, not only the blood ethanol levels, but also the concentrations of blood acetaldehyde, methanol, and iso-propanol, exhibited significant reductions. Conclusions This pilot study provides a different perspective for addressing hangovers and potentially mitigating the risks of alcoholic liver diseases.

排便通过终止肠道饮水来缓解宿醉

本研究中的“肠饮”概念是指酒精在胃肠道中持续吸收，直至排便充足。材料与方法对健康人群在狂饮后的宿醉症状和酒精代谢产物进行了纵向观察。结果大量饮酒引起的宿醉症状可通过排便得到缓解。在排便过程之后，不仅血液中乙醇水平，而且血液中乙醛、甲醇和异丙醇的浓度也显著降低。这项初步研究为解决宿醉和潜在地减轻酒精性肝病的风险提供了不同的视角。

期刊介绍： Archives of Medical Science (AMS) publishes high quality original articles and reviews of recognized scientists that deal with all scientific medicine. AMS opens the possibilities for young, capable scientists. The journal would like to give them a chance to have a publication following matter-of-fact, professional review by outstanding, famous medical scientists. Thanks to that they will have an opportunity to present their study results and/or receive useful advice about the mistakes they have made so far. The second equally important aim is a presentation of review manuscripts of recognized scientists about the educational capacity, in order that young scientists, often at the beginning of their scientific carrier, could constantly deepen their medical knowledge and be up-to-date with current guidelines and trends in world-wide medicine. The fact that our educational articles are written by world-famous scientists determines their innovation and the highest quality.
