> How to prevent and treat a hangover
如何预防和缓解宿醉？专家来支招

You had a little too much to drink last night, and now you’re nursing that dreaded morning aftermath — a hangover.
你昨晚多喝了点，现在一早醒来，可怕的宿醉开始袭来。

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.
昨晚一时的欢乐如今却让你的双手颤抖，你的头剧痛，你的心脏加速，更别提晕眩、恶心、呕吐、畏光和极度口渴等其他不适症状。

Why are you suffering?
你为什么会感觉难受？

Because the liquor that smoothly passed your lips is now wreaking havoc on your body, causing dehydration, stomach distress and inflammation.
因为你喝下的酒正在你的身体内翻江倒海，导致脱水、胃痛和炎症。

These ailments peak about the time all the alcohol leaves your body.
在你的身体排出酒精的同时，这些不适达到了顶峰。

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.
目前还没有经过科学证实的治疗宿醉的方法，但专家指出，你可以预防宿醉，或将宿醉的不适感降到最低，方法如下。

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

Instead, eat before your first drink and keep noshing as the night goes on.
你应该在喝酒前就吃饭，在喝酒之时也要进食。

"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.
位于美国罗得岛州普罗维登斯市的布朗大学沃伦•阿尔伯特医学院精神病学和人类行为系教授罗伯特•斯威夫特博士称：“胃里的食物可以减缓胃排空，从而减轻宿醉症状。”

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，同样的原理也适用于水和其他非酒精饮料。“如果酒精和液体混在一起，就会被稀释，这样在进入肠道时就不会刺激肠胃，也不太容易引起肠道或胃壁发炎。”

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.
我们喝的酒精也叫乙醇，是发酵的碳水化合物和淀粉（通常是谷物、葡萄或浆果）的副产品。

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.
酿酒商会为了让酒口感风味更佳而加入酒精同系物等化学物质，尽管添加量很少不会造成毒害，但有些人对这些化学物质很敏感。

Overall, dark-colored beer and spirits tend to contain more congeners and thus may be more likely to cause hangovers, experts say.
专家表示，总体而言，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.
只喝浅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.
专家指出，说到底，预防宿醉真正有效的方法只有一种，就是别喝酒。

"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：“引起宿醉多种症状的因素很多很复杂，因此没有简单的治疗之法。这就是为什么防止宿醉的唯一方法就是不喝酒或喝不足以引发宿醉的很少量的酒。”
