What to do if you eat durian and drink alcohol

Although durian is a fruit that is very beneficial to health and suitable for all ages, you should also be careful not to eat durian with certain foods. For example, it is best not to eat durian when drinking alcohol, because durian contains more sulfur, which together with alcohol may cause poisoning. But what should you do if you eat durian and drink alcohol? It is best to drink plenty of water immediately to dilute the concentration of alcohol and excrete it from the body in time. Of course, inducing vomiting is also okay, but it is too uncomfortable.

Because durian contains sulfur compounds, this substance can reduce the activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in the human body by more than 70%, which means that alcohol cannot be completely metabolized into acetic acid which is harmless to the human body. After drinking, it is because the human body secretes acetaldehyde dehydrogenase that alcohol can be digested and then excreted from the body. However, durian inhibits the production of this enzyme. People are more likely to get drunk if they eat durian and then drink alcohol.

"After all, there is a ratio. Eating less durian and drinking less alcohol may not have much impact on the body. Once you eat too much durian and drink too much alcohol, it is easy to cause alcohol poisoning and even endanger your life. Therefore, the saying that drinking alcohol and eating durian is fatal does exist.

You can't eat durian after drinking alcohol.
