The dangers of drinking beer before going to bed

People always say that drinking can help them forget their sorrows, but is this really possible? In fact, everyone knows that this is impossible, but some people like to drink beer, especially before going to bed, not knowing the harm it does to the body. You must remember not to drink two hours before going to bed. If you really want to drink, only have one or two glasses of beer at dinner. Do you care about the harm of drinking beer before going to bed? Read on.

Feeling drowsy after drinking is a manifestation of damage to the central nervous system. It disrupts the balance of excitement and inhibition in the nervous system and is harmful rather than beneficial to people. In addition, after dinner and before bedtime, after several hours of digestion and absorption, there is very little food in the stomach. Drinking at this time is basically drinking on an empty stomach. After a few minutes, the alcohol will be absorbed into the blood. A high alcohol content in the blood strongly stimulates the lining of blood vessels, causing blood pressure to rise. The more you drink, the higher your blood pressure. This can cause the hardened blood vessels in the brain to rupture, leading to a cerebral hemorrhage.

At night, the human body's metabolism is slower. If you drink alcohol before going to bed, many harmful substances in the alcohol (such as methanol and ethanol, which will turn into formaldehyde and acetaldehyde after oxidation in the body, which are carcinogens) will easily accumulate in the body and poison the body. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the human body's physiological rhythm can only prevent illness if it conforms to the changes of yin and yang during the day and night. Daytime is Yang, nighttime is Yin, and wine is Yang and warm.

When people go to sleep, they should focus on being quiet. Not only should they be quiet externally, but they should also be quiet internally. Drinking before going to bed will damage Yin and help Yang. When Yang is strong, Yin will be restless. It will not only affect gastrointestinal digestion, but also affect the quality of sleep, making people unable to rest well and leading to lack of energy. Over time, it will cause many harms to the human body.

Modern medical research believes that if you drink alcohol before going to bed, many harmful substances in the wine (such as methanol and ethanol, which will turn into formaldehyde and acetaldehyde after oxidation in the body, which are carcinogens) will easily accumulate in the body and poison the body. When drinking during the day, due to the faster metabolism of the human body, these harmful substances are easily excreted from the body, and the damage to the heart, liver, and brain is relatively less.

There are also reports from abroad that drinking before going to bed can damage the retina, hinder the retina's production of photosensitive visual pigments, and reduce its ability to distinguish objects in dark environments. Drinking before going to bed can act as a hypnotic (if you drink a lot), which is fine.

But it has many effects. First, it damages the liver more than drinking alcohol at other times. Second, it also has a stronger impact on the stomach.

Finally, it damages the spleen.

Now you know the harm of drinking beer before going to bed. Everyone should consciously avoid drinking beer before going to bed and tell their family and friends. Anyway, in a nutshell, sleeping after drinking is very harmful to your metabolism. If you drink alcohol, you will still feel chest tightness when you wake up the next morning!
