To avoid and prevent alcohol poisoning, particularly on the New Year, just to buy and use bottled wines with origin, and clear labels. However, should not abuse too much alcohol on the Tet holiday, especially for patients suffering from chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular, diabetes, high blood pressure and etc. Alcohol can help digestion, limit cardiovascular disease and cancer as well as slow the degenerative process.
