Will drinking a little wine during the epidemic help fight the virus?

Drinking a little wine during the epidemic will not help fight the virus.

In fact, the rumor that drinking alcohol can resist viruses has long been debunked, which means that drinking alcohol cannot suppress or prevent viruses at all. Although the use of 75% alcohol for disinfection is a good defensive measure to prevent viruses, the 75% alcohol used in medicine is not comparable to the liquor people drink. Just something different.

Drinking during the epidemic not only fails to resist the virus, but may also lower your immunity and increase the risk of contracting the virus. So don’t look for reasons and excuses for drinking. Whether you smoke or drink, it is not good for your body. It will also not play a role in resisting the virus. It will only increase your risk of contracting the virus.

Although there is a saying in China that drinking alcohol can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis, there is actually no scientific basis for this. It is just that the Chinese people maintain the old ideas. Drinking alcohol will cause varying degrees of trauma to the body, especially those who have been alcoholics for a long time. Alcohol will paralyze the nervous system. Their brains will usually become very slow and their memory will gradually decline.

At the same time, long-term drinking will also increase the burden on the liver, which is likely to induce alcoholic liver disease or cirrhosis. In more serious cases, it may also induce liver cancer. According to the research of American scientists, the scientifically proven research results are that drinking alcohol is harmful to the body but not beneficial. Therefore, the Chinese saying that drinking alcohol can activate blood circulation and remove blood stasis is completely untenable. People who drink alcohol are also more likely to suffer from cardiovascular disease, and even myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction.

Therefore, try not to drink alcohol even during normal times, let alone during the epidemic. Once your resistance becomes weak and you come into contact with the outside world, compared with people who do not drink, people who drink are more likely to be infected. The risk with viruses is much higher. So don’t take any chances and think that you can resist the virus by drinking some alcohol, as you may suffer from it instead.
