What are the hazards of excessive drinking?
1, damage to the liver. I believe many people know that long-term alcoholism actually has a great influence on the liver, because the liver is the metabolic organ of ethanol. Excessive drinking will lead to the accumulation of ethanol and acetaldehyde in the liver, which will lead to corresponding changes in the hepatocyte membrane and induce immune response. When the liver reaches a certain limit, it will also lead to necrosis, alcoholic hepatitis or cirrhosis.
2. Cardiovascular diseases. Whether drinking for a long time or not, as long as people drink more than a certain amount in a short time, they can inhibit myocardial contraction to some extent and even cause acute alcoholism. For people who drink too much, it may cause arrhythmia, which is manifested as fainting or sudden death.
3. Damage to nerves. Alcohol itself contains ethanol, which can inhibit the central nervous system of human body. When people drink a lot of alcohol in a short time, it will cause a lot of ethanol to accumulate in the brain tissue, thus inhibiting the activity of the cerebral cortex. In more serious cases, it will even inhibit the respiratory center and vascular movement center. In addition, for people who drink for a long time, it will also cause dependence in the later stage, and sudden abstinence will lead to physical excitement or convulsions.
Content summary.
The harm of excessive drinking is mainly divided into the above three points. Point 1 is harmful to liver, point 2 is harmful to cardiovascular system, and point 3 is harmful to nervous system. Therefore, no matter what the reason is in daily life, don't drink casually.
