Excessive drinking will damage human intestinal mucosa and liver function, thus affecting the digestion, absorption and transport of nutrients, and even lead to alcoholic malnutrition in severe cases.

Alcohol has direct toxic and side effects on the liver. Alcohol absorbed into the blood is metabolized in the liver, which leads to the change of its redox state, interferes with the normal metabolism of nutrients such as lipids, sugars and protein, and also affects the normal detoxification function of the liver.

On certain occasions, some people even drink a small amount of alcohol, which will have adverse consequences, such as getting ready to drive, operating machines or engaging in other people who need concentration, skill or coordination. Some people are allergic to alcohol, and drinking a small amount will cause obvious adverse symptoms such as dizziness, nausea and cold sweat.

The misunderstanding of drinking:

1, drink directly without eating.

Drinking on an empty stomach means that alcohol can enter the body unimpeded, reach the stomach and directly damage the gastric mucosa. Drinking on an empty stomach can also easily lead to alcoholic hypoglycemia. Such patients generally do not have the excitement caused by alcohol. But after drinking, he appeared pale and cold sweat, and then appeared hypoglycemia symptoms such as lethargy and coma.

Therefore, in order to avoid the discomfort caused by drinking, preparation before drinking is very important. Director Tan suggested eating a few slices of bread and drinking hot milk or soybean milk to protect gastric mucosa, delay alcohol absorption and promote decomposition.

2. Drink too fast and too much.

This custom often appears on the wine table. For example, the wine glass is full of sincerity, and it only refreshes when you are bored, so many people accidentally drink quickly and violently, and suddenly drink too much. Director Tan believes that this drinking method will make the concentration of ethanol in the blood rise rapidly in a short time, because the human body does not have enough time warp ethanol, so it is the easiest to get drunk quickly.

3. It's easier to get drunk by mixing wine.

Some people will mix wine with other drinks, most of which are red wine with sprite, beer with coke, whisky with iced tea and so on. Carbonated drinks such as Sprite Cola will release carbon dioxide in the stomach and accelerate the absorption of ethanol by the human body.

In addition, the original wine tastes better because it is drunk. In addition, some people think that alcohol is diluted by drinks, which will make people unconsciously drink too much and finally get drunk unconsciously.
