How long does it take to weatherize beer from the body and can this process be accelerated?
Unfortunately, in our world most pleasures have consequences. This is especially true of alcohol - your favorite drinks, which give you a good mood here and now, can provoke unexpected problems. For example, if after visiting a beer restaurant you urgently need to drive or hold an important meeting.
But there is good news - if you know how quickly alcohol is eliminated from the body, it becomes easier to manage your plans. In this article we will talk about beer - how quickly the foam is able to weed out without a trace and if there are ways to speed up this process.
What does it depend on?
All people get drunk at different rates, because many factors influence this. These include a person's weight and age, the amount of alcohol consumed, the amount of food eaten during this period, the timing of alcohol consumption, and even the emotional state of the person at the party. The stage of intoxication and the characteristics of the body will also determine the speed of alcohol excretion.
Despite the fact that everything is individual, you can calculate the approximate time - and already be guided by it. The rules are simple:
— Beer of different strengths is weathered at different rates. 100 grams of beer with strength of 4% in a man weighing 70 kg will be deduced about 30 minutes, and if the drink has a strength of 6% - then it is 50 minutes.
— A 0.5 liter bottle of medium strength beer usually wears out in about 5 hours.
— Two liters of foamy drink are completely eliminated from the body in 12-15 hours.
— If you have drunk 1 bottle of mild beer and plan to drive, wait at least 8 hours. Even if you feel sober, the breathalyzer is likely to show the presence of alcohol in your blood.
Is it possible to speed up the process of alcohol withdrawal?
Contrary to popular belief, neither a walk in the cold nor, on the contrary, a sauna will help alcohol to evaporate faster. In the first case, blood vessels dilate, in the second, they narrow, and in this contrast, it seems to a person that he sobered up. But in fact, ethanol still remains in the bloodstream. In addition, it is quite harmful to the body. The same applies to tea and coffee - they unnecessarily stimulate the nervous system.
A lot of drinking (it is better to drink plain water or citrus juices, which make the kidneys work more intensively), walks in the fresh air at a comfortable temperature, sleep, and a nice warm shower will help to speed up the process of eliminating alcohol from the body. Behind the wheel, however, it is better not to sit down before the appointed time, but feeling better after such a care for sure. Soulful you feasts without consequences!

Bornem Double beer: a taste with a history
There are many special options among Belgian brews, especially when it comes to beers with a history. But Bornem Double stands out even among such stars. At the recent California Microbrew Beer Festival, this Van Steenberge Abbey draft was recognized as the best in its category. What is its charm — we will tell you in this article. Main features Bornem Double is a lively beer with a full, rich, velvety flavor that harmoniously combines fruity notes and malt sweetness. The long aftertaste reveals nuances of spices and chocolate, as well as neat hop notes. Separately it is worth talking about the aroma. It is very beautiful, with notes of milk chocolate, brown sugar, vanilla and spices. The variety is good both inside and outside — in the glass it reveals a deep dark brown color with burgundy reflections. Bornem Double is usually served with meat dishes — steaks, grill, game, sausages. Despite the rather high strength of 8%, the beer is very drinkable, and you can hardly feel alcohol in it. It is also perfect for cold seasons, as it has a warming effect. Secrets of production The history of Bornem beer began in 1957 at the Beirens brewery in the town of Wommelgem. After the brewery closed in 1971, thanks largely to the abbots of the Bornem monastery, the recipe was taken over by the Van Steenberge brewery. The beer was originally sold under the St. Bernard brand and with the monk’s image on the label. However, to avoid similarity with the St. Bernardus Watou brand, the logo was changed: an image of a heron holding a fish appeared on the label. The choice of the symbol is not accidental: the heron is a typical inhabitant of the neighborhood of Bornem, which reflects both the charm of the local fauna and the traditional culture of the region. By the way, the word «heron» is often found in the names of local bars and brasseries. The main feature of this dub is the manufacturing technology. The beer is not pasteurized, and after primary fermentation in barrels it undergoes secondary fermentation in bottles, acquiring its unique taste. You can try Bornem Double in any Lambic brasserie. In our beer restaurants you will find a large selection of varieties from all over the world, including Trappists, as well as an excellent assortment of dishes and always cozy atmosphere. Come — we will find something to surprise you!
