How to drink vodka with Poles - A Quick Manual.
1.) Before drinking or attending at party eat a meal with high animal fat content - that way your stomach will cover in fat therefore slowing down absorbtion of alcohol.
2.) Take 2-3 grams of vitamin C - it will help processing acetaldehyde and reduce hangover later.
3.) Eat during drinking - juice or soda after shot is not enough. If your stomach and duodenum are empty vodka will be absorbed more quickly.
4.) Do not mix vodka with other alcohols - especially avoid
U-Boots (vodka shot glass floating in beer glass) and drinking beer to wash out shot's taste.
5.) At least every 20-30 minutes move a bit to stir up your blood. Sitting for 2-3 hours at the table without moving can cause falling down or even consiousness loss after standing up.
6.) If you drank 2 shots (each for one leg
) pass next round.
7.) 50ml shot is enough - don't try to impress Poles you can drink bigger shots (they may tease you to drink half a regular glass - 125ml). Do not involve into drinking contests. They're for experts and usually end on the floor.
8.) Acidic soft drinks or juices (orange, lemon, grapefruit) are best after shot. Avoid sodas.
9.) Absolutelly
do not mix it with
RedBull or simillar
high caffeine drinks.
