During the festive days, no one pays heed to rules. Drinking and unrestrained eating go hand in hand. Home parties include delicious food and alcoholic beverages. However, excessive drinking alone is harmful. Without any doubt, excessive alcohol use will negatively impact the liver. Therefore, it is important to consider one's physical health even when drinking. The harm will increase if alcohol is consumed with the incorrect foods. Learn which snacks to add to your spread and which to leave out.
1) Cheese and alcohol are incompatible companions. Many people consume cheese as a snack. Don't make this mistake. Even avoid kebabs, pasta, and other dishes made with cheese.
2) When drinking, fried snacks often dominate the spread. Foods like fish fingers and chicken pakoras. However, fried foods contain an excessive amount of oil. Foods rich in oil and butter should also be avoided with alcohol.
3) Sweet foods should not be consumed with alcohol. Refrain from eating sandesh, rasgulla, or ice cream. These will not only lead to severe intoxication but will also make you feel unwell. Even chocolate should be avoided.
Drinking on an empty stomach is dangerous. Therefore, even if it's light fare, one must fill the stomach with some food beforehand. Additionally, it's crucial to drink plenty of water while consuming alcohol, as it dehydrates the body. Now, let's explore which foods can be paired with alcohol.
1) Foods rich in fiber and protein should be consumed more often with alcohol. You can eat appetizing dishes made from oats, brown rice, and quinoa. For instance, oats cutlets, fried rice made with brown rice, or quinoa salad can be consumed.
2) For protein-rich options, you can choose dishes made with chicken. Kebabs can be eaten. Fish-based dishes are also suitable.
3) Various types of nuts can also be consumed with alcohol. Additionally, you can eat chaat made from chickpeas or mung beans.
