I cook at a bar, and live above said bar. I’m 26. Needless to say, this leads to excessive drinking.
I have no fear of getting a DUI or anything, since my car got melted in a fire about 12 months ago (parked car next to a shed, some teenage arsonist lit the shed on fire.) So most of my old alcohol related problems are over (I’m a bad driver sober, so adding alcohol used to create lots of problems.)
Ok, now that I got the background out of the way, does taking multi-vitamins help offset the effects of alcohol on the body? I’ve met plenty of 40-70 year-olds who’ve been downing a 6 or 12 pack a day for years and years and they don’t seem too bad off. These are smart people who ate crappy their whole life and drank every day for 30+ years.
So I’m 26 now, I’m drinking quite a bit because I have 3 bars within walking disance. Anyways, my question is will taking multi-vitamins help offset the bad effects alcohol has on my body? I do it now, but I’ve heard alcohol inhibits your liver from absorbing vitamins/minerals. Should I be doubling/tripling up on the vitamins?
I don’t eat very healthy at all, but I’m 5’7" and 135 lbs, so it’s not like I need to worry about obesity.
(I plan to be rich someday, but until that day comes I’m stuck being semi-poor, and I don’t think I’ll need alcohol as much once I have $$ to spend)
