腌黄瓜汁真的能用来解宿醉吗?

When you wake up with a pounding head and cotton-dry mouth the night after one (or a few) too manydrinks, you'll likely find yourself Googling ways to getrid of your hangover, fast. And when you do, youmay stumble upon a suggestion to throw back somepickle juice.

前一天晚上喝了很多酒之后的你第二天醒来的时候是不是头痛欲裂、口干舌燥?你是不是很想谷歌搜索如何快速摆脱宿醉?如果你的确这么做了，你会发现有人给出的建议是：喝点腌黄瓜汁。

Some claim that pickle brine is the reason Polishpeople don't get hangovers. Even Dr. Oz has endorsed pickle juice as a hangover cure. According to him, the salts in pickle juice replenish electrolytes that you lose while drinking, which can make your headache disappear. But is getting over a hangover really as easy astaking a swig from the pickle jar in your fridge?

有些人声称：腌黄瓜汁是波兰人不会宿醉的原因。就连奥兹医生也认为腌黄瓜汁是解宿醉的好方法。奥兹医生表示，腌黄瓜汁中的盐分可以补充你喝酒时丢失掉的电解质，所以你不会头痛。但解宿醉真的只需从冰箱中拿出腌黄瓜罐这么简单吗?

Well, probably not. "The main thing to understand with hangovers is that they usually happenbecause people are dehydrated, and then also you probably didn't get much sleep," Tochi Iroku-Malize, MD, a practicing family physician in Long Island, New York, tells Health. So yes, saltypickle brine might help with the electrolytes you've lost if you peed a lot, or maybe even threwup, the night before. But taking a shot of pickle juice in the morning won't make your hangoverdisappear if you're not also drinking lots of water and nursing your hangover with a nap.

也许并不是。"关于宿醉，你需要了解的是：喝酒会使人们脱水，再加上睡不好，所以才会发生宿醉的情况，"纽约长岛的一名执业家庭医生Tochi Iroku-Malize医学博士对《健康》杂志说道。所以，如果喝酒那一晚你总是上厕所或呕吐，那么盐渍黄瓜汁的确能补充你丢失掉的电解质。但如果第二天早晨你没有喝很多水、没有小憩一会儿，那么只喝一杯腌黄瓜汁并不能解宿醉。

 

 

Alcohol acts as a diuretic, which means that it'll make you pee more than usual. That's why youmay find you have to go so often during a boozy night out and one of the reasons you feel sodehydrated the morning after. Yes, you lose electrolytes in pee-but it's the water that reallymatters. "When you're losing water, you need to continue to replace that," Dr. Iroku-Malizesays. She suggests that people drink a whole glass of water with every alcoholic drink to makethe hangover sting less.

酒精起到利尿剂的作用，也就是说你去厕所的次数会比平时更多。因此如若晚上出去喝酒，你会发现自己需经常上厕所，而这也是喝完酒第二天脱水的原因。是的，上厕所的过程中你会失去电解质--但水才是重点。"身体失去了水分，你就需要不断喝水补充，"Iroku-Malize医生说道。她建议：每喝一杯酒饮就喝一杯水，以缓解宿醉头痛的情况。

The only way to really prevent a hangover is to not drink too much, Dr. Iroku-Malize says. Herdefinition of "not too much" is one drink a day for women and two for men.

预防宿醉的唯一方式就是少喝酒，Iroku-Malize医生说道。她对于"少喝酒"的定义为：女性每天喝一杯，男性每天喝两杯。
