1. What are the harms of drinking during menstruation? Is it more harmful to the liver?

When women are menstruating, due to the influence of hormones, the body's ability to decompose enzymes and metabolize alcohol will be reduced. The alcohol they drink is difficult to be excreted from the blood quickly, and may even be converted into "acidic substances" that are harmful to the body. In order to eliminate this substance, the liver will continue to produce enzymes, constantly increasing the burden on the liver, and the damage to the liver will be greater than drinking alcohol at other times.

Easy to be poisoned

If women drink alcohol during their menstrual period, they will be more likely to get drunk due to the lack of digestive enzymes in their bodies. The symptoms of drunkenness will be more severe, and they will remain drunk longer, which will make them more addicted and prone to alcohol poisoning.

Irregular menstruation

During menstruation, women's bodies will be weaker and their resistance will decrease due to continuous blood loss. Drinking alcohol may cause heavier menstruation, or less menstrual flow, or even amenorrhea. In addition, drinking cold beer can also cause dysmenorrhea.

2. What to do if you drink alcohol during your period

During menstruation, it is best not to drink alcohol. If you drink a small amount of red wine, there is no big problem, but don't drink beer or white wine. If you have to drink alcohol, you can drink some honey water, vegetable juice, warm milk, etc. to speed up the metabolism of alcohol and minimize the damage.

3. Things you should not do during menstruation

1. Don’t beat your back: You will feel back pain during menstruation, and many women are used to beating their backs. However, if you use improper force, it can easily aggravate pelvic congestion and cause greater trouble.

2. Don't overuse your voice: The vocal cords are affected by sex hormones in the body. Hormone levels change during menstruation. If you overuse your voice, such as shouting, singing karaoke, etc., it is easy to make your voice hoarse and low, and even cause permanent damage.

3. Do not drink stimulating drinks: In addition to alcohol, it is not advisable to drink coffee, strong tea, carbonated drinks, etc. during menstruation, otherwise it will cause harm to the body.

4. Avoid eating too much salty food: otherwise it will easily aggravate menstrual edema and make breast pain more obvious.
