I see many people (mostly teenagers) get drunk and become really aggressive these days, it is NOT fashionable at all. I personally love drinking, I do get drunk sometimes but I can always control my emotions and actions (which means I never shout on the streets or throw up while talking to a woman ). For some of you who can not control your actions while you’re drunk, you should learn how to improve your alcohol tolerance with these 10 tips!

1 ) The magic honey

Rumor has it – eating few spoons of honey before drinking can increase alcohol tolerance, also preventing a hang-over the next day. See what happens, and it doesn’t hurt to try if you are going to meet with a client for drinks!

2 ) Alcohol is not the best Thirst-Quencher

Yes, yes! I know it feels good to have an ice-cold beer when you’re thirsty, but your body usually takes the alcohol faster when it needs liquid. So, try to drink a glass of water first before you go for alcoholic drinks.

3 ) Never leave your stomach empty

It’s pretty basic knowledge, drinking with an empty stomach not only can get you drunk faster, it is also very bad for your body in the long-run.

4 ) Eating cheese

It’s a myth that cheese (or melted butter/olive oil) can coat your stomach and the alcohol absorption rate can be diminished.

5 ) Take Milkweed Thistle Extract

You can go to any health store or vitamin store and get Milkweed Thistle Extract, they can improve liver function.

6 ) Water

Always keep yourself hydrated! It also helps if you drink water between each alcoholic drink.

7 ) Slow beats fast

You get drunk basically because your liver is not fast enough to handle the alcohol you take. Drinking slow is more sophisticated and classy, and it’s always a key in avoiding awkward drunken situations.

8 ) A good sleep

From my experience, I have a better attitude and a better time  when I get enough (or more than enough) rest.

9 ) Do not surprise your body!

I am not encouraging you to “practice” increasing your consumption, but do not try to quit drinking for a period of time, and then occasionally hit a dozen shots of tequila and a few bottles of wine in one night!

10) Give your body a rest

If you are a heavy drinker (for whatever reasons), you will notice that you have lower alcohol tolerance after a period of time, try to slow down and stop drinking (or drink less) for a few days/weeks, give your liver a break and MAYBE  you will get back into the swing of things!

Some of the tips above are just my personal opinions, and everyone has different reactions on them. Please do NOT drink and drive!
