As we all know, drinking a lot will do harm to various organs of the body, including the liver, heart, blood vessels and kidneys. When the concentration of alcohol in blood reaches 0.05%, the effect of alcohol will begin to appear and people will feel excited. When the alcohol concentration in blood reaches 0. 1%, the brain nerves will be stimulated, the function will be reduced, and people will often lose their self-control ability. If the concentration of ethanol in blood reaches 0.4%, people will lose consciousness, and may even be unconscious or even die suddenly.
The most serious harm of alcohol to human body is to stimulate the central nervous system, seriously destroy the normal function of the nervous system, and increase the risk of alcoholic cirrhosis, chronic alcoholism, cardiomyopathy, hematopoietic dysfunction, gastritis, gastric ulcer, laryngeal cancer and digestive tract cancer. In addition, long-term drinking is also one of the main causes of infertility in some male groups, because alcohol will lead to testicular atrophy and the quality of semen will decrease. If a woman is pregnant in a drunken state, there may be fetal malformation or mental decline of her offspring.
In foreign countries, some researchers also said that a small amount of drinking is good for the heart and helps to reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Some researchers believe that even a small amount of drinking will increase the risk of cancer, so teetotalism and a small amount of drinking have become a pair of contradictory and confusing.
Professional doctors remind that whether drinking alcohol is good for health is a complex and long-term study. Previous studies have shown that moderate drinking will increase the risk of breast cancer, and excessive drinking will increase the risk of cancer by about 40% to 50%. According to the internationally renowned medical journal The Lancet, the safe alcohol intake of human body is zero, and abstinence from alcohol is usually healthier than a small amount of alcohol.
Some people are not suitable for drinking, but they are superstitious about the benefits of drinking a small amount, which will endanger their health. For example, people with liver problems should not touch alcohol, otherwise alcoholic liver disease will do harm to the body. People with diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and other chronic diseases should not drink alcohol, otherwise it will lead to aggravation of the disease and even serious consequences such as cerebral vascular rupture or bleeding.
When we drink alcohol, the ethanol in alcohol will be decomposed into acetaldehyde by enzymes and other substances in the body, and acetaldehyde will be oxidized into acetic acid, and finally decomposed into water and carbon dioxide to be excreted. Some people lack enzymes that specifically decompose alcohol, so they get drunk easily. In order to avoid drunkenness, you should eat a small amount and avoid drinking on an empty stomach. You can also drink yogurt in moderation to help you sober up before drinking. People who are not good at drinking should not drink all kinds of alcohol, otherwise it will increase the burden of liver hangover, cause nausea and vomiting, and even get drunk in severe cases.
