Drinking pear juice before starting alcohol could keep hangovers at bay and lower the blood alcohol level, according to new research.

根據新研究,喝酒前先喝梨子汁可防止宿醉,並且降低血液中酒精值。

The hangover preventative — drinking 200ml of pear juice before having alcohol, though eating the pears themselves could also work — has been found to effectively limit the effects of hangover, and lower the levels of alcohol in people’s blood.

這種宿醉預防物——在喝酒前先喝200毫升的梨子汁,不過吃梨子也有效——被發現能有效限制宿醉效應,並且降低人們血液中的酒精含量。

The scientists measured the success of the hangover cure by using a scale of 14 common symptoms. That scale found that the effects of the hangover were “significantly reduced” by drinking the Korean pear juice, and that it was most effective in avoiding “trouble concentrating”.

科學家以一套14種常見徵狀量表測量治療宿醉成效,發現宿醉效應因喝了韓國梨子汁而被「顯著地降低」,而且對避免「注意力集中困難」最有效。

Researchers have only studied the Korean or Asian pear, which has long been used as a traditional hangover cure, so far.

到目前為止,研究人員僅研究韓國或者亞洲梨,這種梨子長久以來就被用來治療宿醉。

"It appears that the factors in Korean pears act on the key enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism, alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and aldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) to speed up alcohol metabolism and elimination or inhibition of alcohol absorption," professor Manny Noakes, who led the study, said in a statement.

「看起來,韓國梨子中的成分對酒精代謝有關的關鍵蛋白酶乙醇脫氫酶、醛脫氫酶發揮作用,加速酒精代謝,並且消除或者抑制酒精的吸收」,帶領這項研究的曼尼.諾雅基斯教授在聲明中說。
