Why can't a 6-year-old boy drink half a bottle of white wine and a dead child drink it?

Recently, a 6-year-old boy in Henan drank white wine to quench his thirst while playing with his neighbor's children. Unexpectedly, the boy died of alcoholism after drinking a few mouthfuls of white wine. Experts remind parents that children should not touch alcoholic beverages.

The six-year-old boy died after drinking half a bottle of white wine.

According to reports, Yang Yang (a pseudonym), a 7-year-old girl, was playing at home with her younger brother and her neighbor's 6-year-old boy. After playing for a while, the three children felt thirsty. When looking for water, they found half a bottle of white wine in the house. The three children took a few sips of white wine to quench their thirst. Yang Yang and his brother took a sip of white wine, which was too spicy for them. Lele took two sips and thought it tasted good, so he drank the remaining four liang of white wine. Lele had just finished drinking white wine and entered the room when he fell to the ground, unconscious.

A few minutes later, Lele's grandmother came to Yang Yang's house to find her grandson. When she found Lele lying on the ground, she kept calling Lele, but Kororo didn't answer. After asking the original reason, Lele's grandmother hurriedly fed Lele a bowl of white sugar water to relieve the hangover, but it was useless. Subsequently, Lele was sent to the local health center and then transferred to the Municipal Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for rescue. The doctor found that Lele had severe alcoholism and tried his best to rescue him, but it was too late, and Lele eventually died because of ineffective rescue.

"It's not strange for children to drink" is a bad habit.

"There is a traditional bad habit among the people, that is, adults tease children to drink, and boys will not blame if they touch alcohol." Experts said that this is especially manifested in weddings, funerals and during the Spring Festival. Once the child runs to the elder's arms, the elder will put a piece of meat in the child's mouth with chopsticks, and then dip the chopsticks in the white wine in the cup for the child to lick. Sometimes even let them drink half a cup or a cup.

"If Lele didn't touch alcohol like the other two children and hated the smell of alcohol, she wouldn't have drunk half a bottle of spirits, and there would be no tragedy." Experts said.

It is a misunderstanding to cultivate drinking habits from childhood.

Some parents think that drinking should be cultivated from an early age. "In fact, the consumption of alcohol mainly depends on the quantity and function of alcohol dehydrogenase. Some people are naturally active and consume a lot of alcohol. " Experts say that if alcohol dehydrogenase is less, alcohol stays in the body for a long time, with high concentration, and it is easy to get drunk; If there are many alcohol dehydrogenases, the alcohol entering the blood will be quickly converted into other products, and the alcohol concentration has been at a low level, which has relatively little influence on the nervous system and is not easy to get drunk.

However, the amount and activity of alcohol dehydrogenase are not always constant, and it will become stronger under certain conditions. Experts say that the human body has a protective mechanism. If you always ingest toxic substances (alcohol), your body will secrete more enzymes to metabolize them.

Children's drinking is far more harmful than adults'.

Experts say that the organs of the child's body are not yet mature, especially the digestive system. Drinking at this time is the most harmful.

The stimulation of alcohol is the most harmful to the liver and stomach. Children drinking alcohol will damage liver function and indigestion.

Children's drinking will also reduce their own immunity and are prone to colds, pneumonia and other diseases; Drinking will reduce the IQ of children and affect the development of the brain;

Drinking will affect the child's reproductive system. Drinking alcohol by boys will do great harm to the developing testicles, slightly slow down their development, and seriously cause infertility in adulthood;

For girls, alcohol can also affect the development of gonads and make endocrine disorders. In adolescence, it is easy to have symptoms such as irregular menstruation, menstrual edema, dysmenorrhea and headache.

Parents have the responsibility to stop minors from drinking.

Article 1 1 of the revised Law on the Protection of Minors clearly stipulates that "parents or other guardians should pay attention to minors' physical and mental state and behavior habits, educate and influence minors with healthy thoughts, good conduct and appropriate methods, guide minors to carry out activities beneficial to their physical and mental health, and prevent and stop minors from smoking, drinking, wandering, indulging in the Internet, gambling, drug abuse and prostitution.

"The essence of children's drinking is that the guardian's supervision is not in place and dereliction of duty." Experts said, "It's almost the New Year, and it should be a social consensus not to let children drink; As long as everyone is conscious, such a tragedy will not happen again. "
