Pineapple and grapefruit juices can increase the negative effects of alcohol. Russian narcologist Daniil Petrov warns about this.
Grapefruit blocks liver enzymes, leading to accumulation of toxic substances. This increases acetaldehyde levels.
Sweet juices mask the taste of alcohol, causing people to drink more. The liver has to process both alcohol and sugar.
However, the doctor emphasizes: the main harmful factor is alcohol itself. Juices are only a secondary factor.
