Can I drink alcohol during my period?

Alcohol is an addiction for many people, and many women also like to drink, but is it okay to drink during menstruation? This issue should also be paid attention to. Generally speaking, women should be careful about drinking alcohol during menstruation, as alcohol may cause menstrual abnormalities or even alcohol poisoning.

1. During menstruation, women's body resistance and metabolism are slower than usual due to the continuous outflow of menstrual blood. If you drink beer at this time, it may increase your menstrual flow and cause dysmenorrhea. Furthermore, women lack decomposition enzymes in their bodies during menstruation. If they drink alcohol, the alcohol cannot be excreted normally, which can easily prolong the state of drunkenness and make them more likely to become addicted to alcohol. This is one of the fundamental reasons why many women become poisoned by alcohol during menstruation.

2. It has been reported that women who drink during menstruation are half as likely to suffer from alcohol poisoning and liver damage as men. In fact, for female friends, not only is it not suitable to drink during menstruation, it is also best not to drink too much alcohol at other times. Because alcohol is a pure energy food, if you drink it for a long time, it will affect your appetite, stimulate the intestinal mucosa, and easily cause nutrient deficiencies in the body. When drinking, women are half as likely to suffer liver damage and alcohol poisoning as men, which means women are more susceptible to the harm of alcohol. Basically, women have fewer enzymes involved in alcohol metabolism in their bodies, so they are less able to break down acetaldehyde.

3. Drinking before menstruation can easily become addictive, and in many cases it can become the trigger for alcohol poisoning. There are many women who particularly want to drink wine or warm wine during menstruation. This is because the body temperature drops by 0.3-0.4 degrees during menstruation, and they subconsciously want to warm up the body. Therefore, during this period, drinking 1-2 glasses of wine is the appropriate amount, no more.
