How to quickly solve the problem of getting drunk on the face

"People who blush when drinking alcohol don't get drunk easily, and people who blush when drinking alcohol can drink." This sentence is often used as a reason to persuade people to drink at banquets. So, what is the reason for blushing when drinking? Is it good or bad to blush when drinking alcohol? In fact, it is not ethanol but acetaldehyde that causes people to blush. Acetaldehyde has the function of dilating capillaries. After drinking alcohol, the acetaldehyde in the wine causes the capillaries on the face to dilate, allowing more blood to pass through, causing the face to turn red. So how can we quickly solve the problem of getting a blackhead when drinking?

Why does a person's complexion look different after drinking alcohol?

There are two enzymes in the human body that react to alcohol. One is called alcohol dehydrogenase, which can quickly convert ethanol into acetaldehyde. People who contain a large amount of this enzyme in their bodies often experience blushing symptoms within a short time after drinking. The other is called acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. People who blush when drinking only have the former enzyme but not the latter, so acetaldehyde accumulates rapidly in the body and cannot be metabolized for a long time. As a result, their face will be red for a long time. They can only hope that the P450 (a group of oxidases with relatively low specificity) in the liver will slowly metabolize the alcohol they have consumed.

People who don't blush when drinking are the type who hide their true colors. They look normal every time they drink and are always considered to be heavy drinkers. In fact, they are the most tragic because they don't have both enzymes in their bodies, so they don't show symptoms of blushing and can only rely on the liver to slowly break down the alcohol. Therefore, such people are the least clear about their bottom line, are most likely to get drunk, and their livers are most likely to be damaged. Therefore, the fact that one does not blush when drinking does not necessarily mean that he can drink a lot. If people keep urging such a person to drink, the chances of him suffering from alcohol poisoning are extremely high.

There is another type of person who is a barrel drinker. The levels of both enzymes in their bodies are extremely high, and the alcohol in their bodies can be quickly metabolized into sweat and heat and excreted. If you meet such people, you must never compete with them in drinking, otherwise the consequences will be terrible.

Is it good or bad to blush easily when drinking?

People who blush easily after drinking alcohol lack acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in their bodies, which causes a large amount of acetaldehyde to accumulate in the body and the liver to slowly break it down, increasing the burden on the liver. But compared to people who don't blush when drinking, the advantage of blushing easily when drinking is that as long as you have a red face and say that you have reached your limit, most people will not urge you to drink anymore. The alcohol that has been consumed can be completely broken down by sleeping for a night, so the harm to the human body is not the greatest. If a person does not blush when drinking but lacks two enzymes in his body, he tends to consume more alcohol than he can tolerate, and the burden on his liver will be heavier than he can imagine. Therefore, although blushing easily after drinking is a genetic defect, from another perspective, blushing can also save you from the endless tide of urging you to drink. As long as you don't actively consume alcohol, the harm to your body is actually not very great.

What health problems will long-term drinking and blushing cause?

Some people are always troubled by the frequent appearance of red blood streaks on their faces. The red blood streaks are the result of dilation of facial capillaries, not thinning of the skin. The facial flushing caused by temporary capillary dilation will return to normal after a while. However, if it recurs over a long period of time, it may lead to persistent redness of the cheeks. If a person's emotions fluctuate too much, resulting in excessive secretion of adrenaline that stimulates the blood vessels, or if long-term drinking of large amounts of alcohol causes frequent blushing and persistent blushing, it is possible to develop many papules and pustules that look like acne. In the late stage, the sebaceous glands in the nose become enlarged and the nose becomes deformed. This is rosacea. Therefore, we must learn to control our emotions, stay stable, and at the same time not drink too much. Drinking in moderation can help us avoid the health problems caused by blushing.
