What happens if you drink alcohol during your period?

Menstruation is a physiological cycle for women and a normal physiological phenomenon. Women during their menstrual period generally have low immunity. If they do not pay attention to their eating habits during their menstrual period, it will affect their health, especially for some women who drink alcohol during their menstrual period. It is best for women not to drink alcohol during their menstrual period. Drinking alcohol during their menstrual period will speed up blood circulation, increase menstrual volume, and cause dysmenorrhea in women.

It has been reported that women are half as likely as men to suffer liver damage or alcohol poisoning from drinking during menstruation. Because women lack digestive enzymes in their bodies during menstruation, if they drink too much at once, the time of drunkenness will be prolonged and the feeling or symptoms of drunkenness will be more severe. In addition, during menstruation, due to constant bleeding, the body is weak and the resistance is poor. Drinking alcohol will speed up blood circulation, which may lead to increased menstrual flow. If you drink cold beer, it may also cause dysmenorrhea.

Women who drink frequently affect the next generation. Drinking a small amount of alcohol is good for the body, but some young women also drink a lot during social activities, which is very harmful to women's health. Because alcohol is toxic to eggs, the eggs will be poisoned by alcohol. The fetus developed from this fertilized egg will have slow growth and brain damage, and its physical and intellectual development after birth will be affected. Therefore, young women should drink alcohol with caution and in moderation. They should not become addicted to alcohol or drink excessively, otherwise it will be harmful to themselves and the next generation.

Drinking during pregnancy can have adverse effects on the embryo and newborn, causing fetal malformations and slow reaction in the child. Many deformed newborns are caused by alcohol poisoning in pregnant women.

Drinking too much alcohol will increase blood circulation and increase the burden on the heart, causing myocardial hypertrophy and expansion of ventricular size. Fat cells may also infiltrate myocardial tissue, weakening myocardial function and causing tachycardia.

Cirrhosis will become very obvious in women if they drink two glasses of wine a day, while cirrhosis will become obvious in men after they drink six glasses of wine a day.

The raw materials for brewing wine contain lead. After drinking large amounts, the blood lead level will increase, causing a decrease in intelligence and slow reaction. In severe cases, it will damage the reproductive system and make the elderly more susceptible to Alzheimer's disease.

Because women have less water in their bodies than men, alcohol will take away water from cells after being absorbed by the blood. Since women have lower water content in their bodies than men, after drinking the same amount of alcohol, the alcohol concentration in their bodies and livers is obviously higher. Therefore, women not only get drunk more easily than men when drinking, but are also more likely to develop liver disease.

Alcohol is the biggest enemy of the skin because it is a stimulating drink. If you drink alcohol for a long time and in excess, your skin will become rough and you may develop acne or other skin diseases. If you already have a skin disease, drinking alcohol will make it worse, such as vitiligo and acne.
