After a night of drinking, many reach for tea believing it helps sober up. But emerging research shows this common practice might be doing more harm than good. At Tea Teapot, we examine the science behind tea and alcohol metabolism to keep you safely hydrated.

The Sobering Myth: Why Tea Fails

✖ False Belief: Tea accelerates alcohol breakdown
✔ Science Says: Only your liver processes alcohol (1 standard drink/hour)
✖ Danger: Tea's diuretic effect worsens dehydration

What Actually Happens:

1. Caffeine in tea masks intoxication (creating dangerous false sobriety)

2. Tannins irritate alcohol-inflamed stomach lining

3. Diuresis increases electrolyte loss from drinking

🔗 Instead try our alcohol-recovery herbal blend with rehydrating electrolytes

3 Safer Alternatives That Actually Help

1. Licorice Root Tea

• Supports liver detox enzymes

• Replenishes depleted minerals

2. Chrysanthemum Tea

• Lowers alcohol-induced liver inflammation

• Neutralizes acetaldehyde (hangover toxin)

3. Warm Lemon Water

• Vitamin C boosts alcohol metabolism

• Restores pH balance naturally

The Only Safe Way to Use Tea After Drinking

If you insist on tea:
✓ Wait until next morning
✓ Choose low-tannin white tea
✓ Add honey to replenish glucose
✓ Drink equal amount water
