Palinka is a strong alcoholic drink, with its 40-50% alcoholic content. In Hungary, the traditional way of drinking palinka is in the morning, before having breakfast. This is quite unhealthy, as it harms the stomach. The ideal timing of drinking strong alcoholic drinks is after meals, as the alcohol is absorbed better this way. Palinka may cure cold efficiently, as it is known for its sterilizing effect, cough and horseness and even high blood pressure can also be cured with a little palinka.
