After drinking alcohol, it is absorbed directly in the stomach and does not enter the small intestine. The metabolism of alcohol needs detoxification in the liver and then excreted by the kidney, which requires energy participation. As an energy substance, glucose can provide energy for alcohol (ethanol) metabolism on the one hand, and promote the discharge of ethanol on the other.

After injection of glucose, blood sugar increases and blood volume increases, which can accelerate the excretion of body fluids through the urine of the kidney. At the same time, the liver needs a lot of energy to metabolize alcohol, and the energy provided by glucose can help the liver accelerate alcohol catabolism.

Glucose only helps to promote alcohol metabolism, improve energy and hypoglycemia, but it cannot completely offset the harm caused by excessive drinking. Therefore, drinking sugar water or injecting glucose cannot be an excuse to indulge yourself in excessive drinking.

The extended information "Dietary Guidelines for China Residents 20 16" issued by China Nutrition Society suggests that:

Men's daily alcohol intake does not exceed 25g, which is equivalent to 750ml beer or 250ml wine or 75g 38-degree liquor or 50g high-alcohol liquor; Women's daily alcohol intake should not exceed 15g, which is equivalent to 500g of beer or 150g of wine or 50g of 38-degree liquor, and highly alcoholic liquor is not recommended for women.

Exceeding the above recommended amount will bring a burden to the body's alcohol metabolism.
