Whether you are the elderly, children, or pregnant women, you should pay attention to drink less beer, especially pregnant women and children during pregnancy. These special groups, because it will affect the development of the body and the fetus, and may even cause alcohol paralysis and unnecessary complications of the nervous system.

Can pregnant women drink beer? The answer is no. Beer contains a certain amount of alcohol, which can hinder the absorption of folic acid and vitamin B, causing anemia or multiple neuritis. Babies born to mothers who drink alcohol during pregnancy are prone to fetal alcohol syndrome, and their brain development is likely to be affected. Even if they drink a small amount of alcohol, the alcohol will flow into the fetal brain through the placenta and invade the fetus's defenseless brain, resulting in damage to brain cells. Therefore, it is best for pregnant women not to drink beer.

The harm of drinking beer during pregnancy

Pregnant women who drink beer can easily cause the fetus to suffer from alcohol syndrome. The typical characteristics of this poisoned fetus are: low weight, heart and limb deformities, mental retardation, etc. Traditional theory holds that moderate drinking by pregnant women has little effect on the fetus, and only when it reaches the level of excessive drinking will it cause fetal alcohol poisoning. But the latest research results show that low levels of alcohol in pregnant women can also cause harm to the fetus.
