The harm of drinking and bathing

Smoking and drinking have become indispensable behaviors in social activities. Although everyone knows that it is bad for the body, they cannot help it. Many people go home smelling of alcohol after drinking at night. Some people choose to fall asleep immediately, while others choose to take a shower to remove the smell of alcohol before going to bed. Although taking a bath is a good habit, taking a bath after drinking alcohol is very harmful and will damage your health. Specifically introduce the dangers of drinking alcohol and taking a bath.

1. Cause hypoglycemia and affect liver metabolism

Alcohol will inhibit the normal physiological activities of the liver and lead to the recovery of glucose storage in the body. Therefore, it is easy to cause fatigue of the body, hypoglycemia and shock, and even life-threatening.

2. Increased drunkenness

When taking a bath, people will sweat and the alcohol concentration in the blood will increase. In addition, hot water promotes blood circulation, which often leads to drunkenness. In addition, alcohol's dilating effect on skin blood vessels may also cause collapse or shock, and in severe cases even death.

3. Taking a hot bath can increase blood pressure

Taking a shower immediately after drinking alcohol will cause your blood pressure to rise due to the stimulation of warm water. A sudden rise in blood pressure and an increased heartbeat can cause fainting. If you already have hypertension, you may also suffer a stroke.

4. Cramps after taking a cold shower

After drinking, a person's body becomes hot. If a person takes a cold shower, the stimulation of the cold water will cause the muscles and blood vessels to contract sharply, and even cause cramps.

5. Affect liver metabolism

People feel tired after taking a shower. This is because the body consumes a large amount of glucose when taking a shower, and potassium and sodium ions are lost when sweating. After taking a shower after drinking alcohol, blood sugar levels will drop to varying degrees. The glycogen originally stored in the liver will be continuously converted into glucose and added to the blood to prevent blood sugar from dropping. The alcohol is metabolized from the liver, thus affecting the liver's role in sugar metabolism.
