The harm of drinking rice wine for a long time

Alcohol is now a common drink in social occasions, but many people think that liquor is very harmful. So I started to comfort myself by drinking red wine and rice wine. Red wine has a strong aftereffect and many people don't feel drunk when they first drink it, but end up getting completely drunk later. In addition, although rice wine has a low alcohol content, drinking a lot of it at one time can also cause harm to the liver. This article introduces the dangers of drinking rice wine for a long time. Let’s take a look.

Alcohol is harmful to the body

People who drink liquor for a long time know that consuming a large amount of alcohol at one time will cause a great burden on the liver. Like rice wine, the alcohol content in rice wine is relatively low. The alcohol content of rice wine commonly seen on the market is around 15 degrees. However, if you drink one pound of rice wine at a time, a large amount of alcohol will accumulate in the liver and be difficult to metabolize. This will also cause a burden on the liver, and over time it will turn into fatty liver. Therefore, when drinking rice wine, you must control the amount within a certain range, generally within 200ml.

2. Residue of trace elements

During the brewing process of rice wine, trace amounts of organic compounds such as methanol, aldehydes and ethers are contained in the wine. These trace elements have a certain impact on the human body. Therefore, in order to reduce the residue of these trace elements, people usually heat rice wine to 60-70 degrees before drinking it. Because as the temperature rises, the trace elements contained in rice wine can evaporate. Also, warm rice wine is very suitable for people with poor stomachs, and it can also drive away the cold and keep warm in the cold winter.

Three taboo groups cannot drink

Huangjiu is a kind of wine, and it is also a fermented beverage containing alcohol. Therefore, it is not suitable for pregnant women, children or people who are allergic to alcohol. Drinking rice wine accidentally can have a great impact on your body. Even if it is not rice wine, these people with taboos cannot drink any alcohol.

Therefore, although consumers have been paying more attention to the functions and effects of rice wine for a long time, we must also look at its harms correctly. Of course, these harms are far from covering up its advantages. For most people, long-term consumption of rice wine is still beneficial to the health of the body. You just need to understand the three points mentioned above.
