What drink can relieve the spicy taste?

Drinks that can relieve spicy food include milk, herbal tea, soda, beer, oolong tea and sour plum juice.

Capsaicin is insoluble in water, so water is not a good way to relieve spicy. The anti-spicy effect of milk is better, probably because it contains a lot of casein. Casein is a good emulsifier, which can effectively wrap hydrophobic substances and take them away. Studies have shown that low-temperature whole milk has the best effect. At the same time, the effect of 10% sugar water is equivalent to that of 5℃ milk.

Capsaicin can be combined with oil, alcohol and fat, so in theory, alcohol should have a good ability to relieve spicy. Alcohol with a concentration of 5% is not more effective than water at room temperature, and it needs 20% alcohol to be effective, but this concentration is equivalent to low-alcohol liquor and is not commonly used.
