> How to prevent and treat a hangover
如何預防和緩解宿醉？專家來支招

You had a little too much to drink last night, and now you’re nursing that dreaded morning aftermath — a hangover.
你昨晚多喝了點，現在一早醒來，可怕的宿醉開始襲來。

What seemed like fun at the time is now causing your hands to shake, your head to pound and your heart to race, not to mention other unpleasant symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, vomiting, light sensitivity and excruciating thirst.
昨晚一時的歡樂如今卻讓你的雙手顫抖，你的頭劇痛，你的心臟加速，更別提暈眩、惡心、嘔吐、畏光和極度口渴等其他不適癥狀。

Why are you suffering?
你為什么會感覺難受？

Because the liquor that smoothly passed your lips is now wreaking havoc on your body, causing dehydration, stomach distress and inflammation.
因為你喝下的酒正在你的身體內翻江倒海，導致脫水、胃痛和炎癥。

These ailments peak about the time all the alcohol leaves your body.
在你的身體排出酒精的同時，這些不適達到了頂峰。

There is no scientifically proven way to cure a hangover, but experts say you can prevent one — or at least keep that morning-after misery to a minimum. Here’s how.
目前還沒有經過科學證實的治療宿醉的方法，但專家指出，你可以預防宿醉，或將宿醉的不適感降到最低，方法如下。

Forget a late-night meal after a night of drinking — that’s much too late, experts say.
專家指出，不要喝了一夜酒才吃夜宵，那時候就太晚了。

Instead, eat before your first drink and keep noshing as the night goes on.
你應該在喝酒前就吃飯，在喝酒之時也要進食。

"Food in the stomach slows gastric emptying and can reduce hangover symptoms,” said Dr. Robert Swift, a professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University’s Warren Alpert Medical School in Providence, Rhode Island.
位于美國羅得島州普羅維登斯市的布朗大學沃倫?阿爾伯特醫學院精神病學和人類行為系教授羅伯特?斯威夫特博士稱：“胃里的食物可以減緩胃排空，從而減輕宿醉癥狀。”

The same principle applies to water and other nonalcoholic beverages, Swift said. “If alcohol is mixed with fluid, it’s diluted, so when it goes into your intestines, it’s not as irritating. You’re less likely to have inflamed intestines or an inflamed stomach lining.”
斯威夫特指出，同樣的原理也適用于水和其他非酒精飲料。“如果酒精和液體混在一起，就會被稀釋，這樣在進入腸道時就不會刺激腸胃，也不太容易引起腸道或胃壁發炎。”

The alcohol we drink, called ethyl alcohol or ethanol, is the byproduct of fermenting carbohydrates and starches, usually some sort of grain, grape or berry.
我們喝的酒精也叫乙醇，是發酵的碳水化合物和淀粉（通常是谷物、葡萄或漿果）的副產品。

Chemicals like congeners are added for flavor and taste. While they are added in small, nontoxic amounts, some people are overly sensitive to their effects.
釀酒商會為了讓酒口感風味更佳而加入酒精同系物等化學物質，盡管添加量很少不會造成毒害，但有些人對這些化學物質很敏感。

Overall, dark-colored beer and spirits tend to contain more congeners and thus may be more likely to cause hangovers, experts say.
專家表示，總體而言，深色啤酒和白酒通常含有更多酒精同系物，因此可能更容易引起宿醉。

Limiting your drinking to light beers and white wine might help keep hangovers at bay.
只喝淺色啤酒和白葡萄酒可能有助于避免宿醉。

In the end, however, experts say there is only one true preventive — or cure — for a hangover: Don’t drink.
專家指出，說到底，預防宿醉真正有效的方法只有一種，就是別喝酒。

"There’s no simple cure because there are so many complex factors that are producing the multiple symptoms of a hangover,” Swift said. “And that’s why the only real cure for a hangover is to not drink alcohol or drink such a low amount of alcohol that it won’t trigger a hangover.”
斯威夫特表示：“引起宿醉多種癥狀的因素很多很復雜，因此沒有簡單的治療之法。這就是為什么防止宿醉的唯一方法就是不喝酒或喝不足以引發宿醉的很少量的酒。”
