Sometimes in order not to get drunk, drink water while drinking, or will some drinks dilute the alcohol to achieve the goal of not being drunk?

    Yes, drink water while drinking, or add ice to the wine to speed up urination. After alcohol enters the body, about 10% cannot be metabolized, but will be directly excreted, half of which is excreted from the urine through the kidneys. Alcohol itself has a diuretic effect (alcohol inhibits the production of antidiuretic hormones in the brain), but it is not enough. Drinking more water to accelerate urination can also dilute the alcohol concentration in the blood. In this case, drinking water, adding ice cubes, drinking beverages, drinking juice, drinking tea, drinking soup, eating watermelon and other hydration measures are effective.
