What are the advantages and disadvantages of drinking beer?

First of all, the benefits of drinking beer

1. Protect the heart. An Italian study found that participants who drank moderate amounts of beer had a 42% lower risk of heart disease than teetotalers. But drinking beer every day should not exceed 1 pint (about 473 ml), which is equivalent to 1.4 cans.

Second, the disadvantages of drinking beer:

1. Inducing gastrointestinal diseases: Drinking beer in a short time will dilute the gastric juice, destroy the acidic environment of the stomach, make the gastrointestinal tract susceptible to infection by pathogenic bacteria, and cause intestinal infectious diseases such as bacillary dysentery and acute gastroenteritis. At the same time, because beer is usually drunk with ice, it will also lead to a sudden drop in the temperature of the gastrointestinal tract, spasmodic abdominal pain and diarrhea, and may even cause gastric bleeding.

2. Increase the risk of alcoholic hepatitis: Although the alcohol content of beer is low, it produces a lot of calories, most of which can be absorbed by the human body. In addition, it needs to be metabolized by the liver. If you drink it in large quantities for a long time, it will also damage the liver and lead to alcoholic hepatitis.

3. Induced stones: Beer is brewed with wort, so it contains calcium, oxalic acid and a lot of purine. If you drink a lot, it will lead to an increase in uric acid and promote the occurrence of stones.

4. Increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases: Excessive drinking can easily lead to an increase in blood volume in a short time, increase the burden on the heart and blood vessels, and damage organs such as cardiovascular, kidney, liver and lung, ranging from dizziness and rapid heartbeat to cardiovascular diseases.

5. Aggravate the side effects of drugs: Generally speaking, it is not advisable to drink alcohol during taking drugs, including beer, especially antiepileptic drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, antidepressants, sedatives, antibiotics, nitrates, hemostatic drugs, antihypertensive drugs, anti-tuberculosis drugs, antiallergic drugs, etc. If you drink alcohol during medication, the side effects will be aggravated.
