Conclusion: Alcohol cannot be removed in the sauna

Alcohol cannot be removed in the sauna because acetoaldehyde (broken down alcohol) in the blood has a property that makes it difficult to be removed as sweat!

In addition, under normal conditions, the body stores a small amount of dark urine and urinates efficiently, but when alcohol is consumed, the body produces a lot of thin urine, which takes away a lot of the body’s water.

Therefore, even though your body is dehydrated, taking a sauna can accelerate dehydration and is extremely dangerous! Never enter the sauna!

If you get drunk or hungover on the day of the event, it is often due to lack of water, so make sure you drink a sports drink and stay hydrated!

How to check if you can enter a sauna

I still want to go in the sauna! I will tell you how to determine if your body is safe to enter a sauna!

(1) Sit on a chair and put your hands on your lap.
(2) Look at the blood vessels on the back of your hand.
(3) If they are bulging out as usual → OK
If the blood vessels are flattened → NG

You can check it in this way, so please keep it in mind!
