🌿 Beware of the Pitfalls of Drinking Tea After Alcohol
It is commonly said, “No banquet without wine,” and drinking a few cups of alcohol during meals has become a Chinese dining habit. However, TCM warns that certain foods should not be consumed together with white liquor. As stated in *Compendium of Materia Medica*, “Drinking alcohol followed by eating mustard or spicy foods will impair the tendons and bones.” This means consuming spicy foods after drinking alcohol can make one feel exhausted and physically weak.
