Analysis of the harm of drinking alcohol for women

Nowadays, more and more women drink alcohol, especially in those nightclubs where there is singing and dancing, where women with good alcohol tolerance can be found everywhere. However, the harm of alcohol to women has been ignored by people. When women drink alcohol, it is equivalent to drinking chronic poison. Drinking in moderation can increase appetite, promote digestion and eliminate fatigue. However, medical research in recent years has found that if people drink large amounts of beer for a long time, it will cause damage to the body. Let's take a look at the dangers of drinking for women.

1 Beer Heart:

Among alcoholic beverages, beer has the lowest alcohol content. The alcohol content of one liter of beer is equivalent to that of more than one or two liters of liquor, so many people use beer as a cooling drink. However, if you drink excessively without restraint, the alcohol accumulated in the body will damage liver function, increase the burden on the kidneys, and cause fat cell infiltration of the myocardial tissue, which will weaken the myocardial function and cause tachycardia. In addition, excessive fluid increases the blood circulation volume and increases the burden on the heart, causing myocardial hypertrophy and expansion of ventricular size, forming a "beer heart." If things go on like this for a long time, it may lead to heart failure, heart rhythm disorders, etc.

2. Beer belly:

Because beer is rich in nutrients and produces a lot of calories, long-term and excessive drinking will cause fat accumulation in the body, resulting in a big belly and a "beer belly." This can easily lead to increased blood lipids and blood pressure.

3. Stones and gout:

Relevant data also show that for patients with atrophic gastritis, urinary stones, etc., drinking large amounts of beer may cause recurrence of old diseases or aggravate their conditions. This is because the barley malt used to brew beer contains calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid nucleotides and purine nucleotides. These interact with each other to more than double the amount of uric acid in the human body, which not only promotes the formation of gallstones and kidney stones, but also can induce gout.

4. Gastroenteritis:

Drinking large amounts of beer can damage the gastric mucosa, causing gastritis and peptic ulcers, and symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, abdominal bloating, and acid reflux.

5. Cancer:

Drinking too much beer can also reduce the body's reaction ability. American cancer experts have found that people who drink a lot of beer have a three times higher risk of developing oral cancer and esophageal cancer than those who drink strong liquor.

6. Lead poisoning:

Beer brewing raw materials contain lead. After drinking large amounts, the blood lead level will increase, causing a person's intelligence to decline, reaction to become slow, and in severe cases, damage to the reproductive system; it is prone to Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.

Nowadays, more and more young women like to drink, which is understandable. However, women should avoid drinking alcohol when their period comes or during their period, as this may cause liver damage or alcohol poisoning. It has been reported that women are half as likely as men to suffer liver damage or alcohol poisoning from drinking during menstruation. So female friends must cheer up and avoid drinking less.
