What are the disadvantages of drinking liquor

Drinking in moderation is good for our health, but if we drink too much, it will not only threaten our health but also easily lead to accidents, so we must be moderate when drinking. There are many types of alcohol. We can drink beer, red wine, and we can also drink white wine, but we should realize that there are many disadvantages of drinking white wine.

In addition to the two main components of alcohol and esters, white wine also contains acids, aldehydes, fusel oil, lead and other substances. Trace amounts of amino acids can also be detected in liquor. Wine and beer contain more proteins, peptides, amino acids, sugars and organic acids. But no matter what kind of wine, the total content of these substances generally does not exceed 1% to 5%. Calculated based on 100 ml of wine, the iron content is below 0.1-2.0 mg, and the zinc content is below 0.02-0.9 mg. The calcium content of white wine is generally 1 to 5 mg. White wine contains almost no vitamins. Some beer contains vitamin B1, vitamin B2, folic acid and niacin, and the content is mostly below 0.05 mg. As far as inorganic salts and vitamins are concerned, the higher content of wine is calcium and vitamin B1. However, if calcium is supplemented with alcohol, each person needs to drink 1 kilogram of liquor every day to get 1/20 of the daily requirement; or, they need to drink 1 kilogram of beer to get 1/3 of the daily requirement. If you use beer to supplement vitamins, you must drink 2 to 10 kilograms per day. Obviously, it is unrealistic to supplement nutrition with alcohol.

First of all, we should understand the harm of liquor and its causes.

The main component of wine is alcohol, whose chemical name is ethanol. When ethanol enters the human body, it can cause many kinds of damage.

When the ethanol concentration in the blood reaches 0.05%, the effects of alcohol begin to emerge, and excitement and euphoria appear; when the ethanol concentration in the blood reaches 0.1%, people will lose self-control. If it reaches 0.2%, a person will be drunk; if it reaches 0.4%, a person may lose consciousness, fall into a coma, or even be in danger of death.

The most important damage that alcohol does to humans is the central nervous system. It causes the nervous system to go from excitement to high inhibition, seriously disrupting the normal function of the nervous system. Excessive drinking can damage the liver. Chronic alcoholism can lead to alcoholic cirrhosis.

In addition, chronic alcoholism also causes damage to the body in many aspects. For example, it can cause multiple neuritis, myocardial disease, cerebral disease, hematopoietic dysfunction, pancreatitis, gastritis and ulcer disease, and can also increase the incidence of hypertension. Others have noted that long-term, heavy drinking can harm reproductive cells and lead to intellectual disability in offspring. The incidence of laryngeal cancer and digestive tract cancer is significantly increased in people who drink alcohol frequently.

In the above article, we introduced the types of alcohol. Liquor is a common type of alcohol, but we must know that drinking liquor frequently has many disadvantages, so everyone must be moderate when drinking liquor.
