Because beer is rich in nutrition and produces a lot of calories, long-term heavy drinking will cause fat accumulation in the body, resulting in a big belly and a "beer belly". This can easily lead to an increase in blood lipids and blood pressure.
2, damage to liver function
Excessive drinking of beer will damage the liver function and increase the burden on the kidneys. If myocardial tissue is soaked in alcohol for a long time, there will be fat cell infiltration, which will weaken myocardial function and lead to tachycardia. In addition, too much fluid will increase blood circulation and increase the burden on the heart. At the same time, there will be myocardial hypertrophy, ventricular volume expansion, and even some people will form a "beer heart."
3, stones and gout
Atrophic gastritis, urinary calculi and other diseases are closely related to drinking a lot of beer, and patients with these diseases will relapse or aggravate their illness if they drink too much beer. This is because beer will be mixed with barley wort in the brewing process, and the calcium, oxalic acid, uridine, purine nucleotide and other substances contained in it will interact with each other, resulting in a doubling of uric acid content in the human body, which not only promotes the formation of gallstones, but also induces gout.
4. Cancer constellation
Drinking too much beer will also reduce the body's reaction ability. American cancer experts have found that people who drink a lot of beer are three times more likely to suffer from oral cancer and esophageal cancer than those who drink hard liquor.
5, gastroenteritis

The temperature of drinking beer should be controlled between 65438 02℃ and 65438 05℃. At this time, as soon as the taste buds are opened, you can feel the mellow and refreshing beer without being too bitter. At the same time, the aroma and foam are in the best state at this time, and the refreshing feeling is the most obvious when drinking. If the temperature rises again, the bitter taste of beer will be much stronger. Beer with low temperature is not only unpalatable, but also causes protein in liquor to decompose and dissociate, and the nutrients will be destroyed.
2, big mouth and quick drink
Beer should not be drunk slowly, but should be finished quickly. It is recommended to drink at least 15 ml in one bite. First of all, the mellow and malt aroma of beer is very rich and attractive when it is just poured into the cup. If it is left for a long time, the aroma will evaporate. Secondly, when beer is just poured into the cup, it has delicate white foam, which can reduce the bitterness of hops and the stimulation of alcohol to people.

According to the nutritionist's calculation, the safe amount of ethanol intake per person per day is per kilogram of body weight1g. This amount will cause excitement. Although there are many kinds of alcohol, they can all be converted according to the alcohol content. For example, a person weighing 50 kg can drink 625 ml of beer with a content of 4 a day, that is, 1 bottle of beer is appropriate.
