What happens if you drink beer and Sprite together?

Beer is a common drink for men in social gatherings, and some people like to drink beer with Sprite. So, what will happen if you drink beer and Sprite together?

1. Carbon dioxide

From the perspective of the digestive system, the carbon dioxide released by carbonated drinks in the stomach will force alcohol to quickly enter the small intestine. The small intestine absorbs alcohol much faster than the stomach, which increases the damage. Under the action of carbonic acid, alcohol can easily pass through the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain, causing damage. Therefore, drinking alcohol while drinking carbonated drinks will accelerate drunkenness.

2. Sugar and Energy

Since drinks contain a lot of sugar and energy, mixing drinks with alcohol will invisibly increase the intake of sugar and energy. Long-term drinking will affect health and lead to obesity and other chronic diseases. If you think the wine is too spicy, you can add some ice cubes. If you must drink for social events, you can drink two bottles of glucose oral solution after drinking. Because the human body mainly relies on glucose to decompose alcohol, glucose oral solution can speed up the decomposition of alcohol in the body and avoid alcohol poisoning. You can also eat some easily digestible starchy foods, such as steamed bread. Steamed bread can be converted into glucose, which is beneficial for supplying blood to the human body and increasing physical energy. Because it has a fermentation process, it also has a neutralizing effect on gastric acid, and the body will feel comfortable immediately after eating it. In addition, you can drink a glass of milk or yogurt before drinking to protect the gastric mucosa from alcohol stimulation.
