Although it is sometimes overlooked, it must not be forgotten that Alcohol is a drug and, as such, consuming it in excess has negative health effects. All in all, in this note we will tell you the almost infallible tricks revealed by science so as not to get drunk.
Forget about the dozens of remedies that have been recommended for years to avoid getting drunk, because, according to a study carried out by the University of Sydney and Regensburg, Germanythe key is in a hormone.
According to the conclusions reached by the university researchers, after having analyzed the behavior of oxytocin (also known as the love hormone) in a group of rats that had previously been fed alcohol, this would be the fundamental element to drink all the alcohol that you want to consume without noting the effects of the liquor.
“While the rodents that received doses of alcohol and oxytocin passed the drunkenness test with great success, those that received alcohol without the hormone of love seriously deteriorated,” the scientist explains in the study. michael bowenlead author of the research.
It was in this way that the researchers discovered that it is oxytocin that prevents alcohol from entering spaces in the brain that trigger drunken behavior.
According to the findings of the University of Sydney and the University of Regensburg, which were published in the scientific journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciencesif the brain receives an extra charge of the hormone of love prior to alcohol consumption, the symptoms of drunkenness that liquor produces in the body could be avoided.
Such is the inhibition of oxytocin on effects such as lightheadedness and dizziness caused by drunkenness, which, according to the scientists, reaches “the point where we can say that the rats were not really drunk.”
However, the study made it clear that the effect of the love hormone does not make the alcohol that was drunk disappear or leave the body fastersince although the rodents did not show the symptoms of intoxication, that does not mean that they were not.
Also, it should be made clear that, so far, the effect of oxytocin in inhibiting the effects of alcohol has not been tested in humansbut the results are already being planned to be applied in future studies.

“The first step will be to ensure that we have a drug delivery method for humans that allows sufficient amounts of oxytocin to reach the brain,” Bowen said.
