The harm of alcohol in plastic bottles to people

When storing wine, it is best not to choose plastic jugs, because plastic jugs contain many harmful ingredients, such as plasticizers. Recently, it has been frequently reported that alcohol contains plasticizers, which is quite harmful to human health. The best thing is to choose glass bottles or other containers to store wine. It is okay to use plastic pots for short-term decoration, but you must not use plastic pots for long-term decoration.

The harm of plastic bottles of wine to people

Harmful! Drinking wine in plastic bottles is harmful to health. Because the formula for producing plastics often contains plasticizers, lubricants, release agents, and stabilizers, these additives that are harmful to the human body are easily dissolved by alcohol and mixed into the wine. Even for non-toxic plastics, some plastic monomers will slowly decompose and dissolve, which is not good for health. Drinking alcohol containing harmful substances may cause symptoms such as nausea, headache, diarrhea, allergies, etc., which are harmful to human health, or cause chronic poisoning. In severe cases, it may cause anemia and even cancer.

Plastic bottles for liquor should not be stored

Packing liquor in plastic bottles is a common practice among ordinary people. Because ordinary people usually buy liquor in bulk, it is more convenient to use plastic bottles. After buying liquor in plastic barrels, try to replace them with glass bottles for storage. Because food-grade plastic packaging materials mainly include polyethylene plastic and polyester plastic. When using ordinary polyethylene plastic barrels to store liquor, especially liquor with a high alcohol content, the polyethylene will be dissolved by the alcohol, and the longer the time, the more it will dissolve.

Plastic packaging for liquor. Alcohol is a good organic solvent, and some components of plastic will dissolve in it. Will plastic and alcohol react with liquor in plastic barrels, thus affecting human health? Currently, plastic barrel packaging for liquor is divided into two categories: one is general polyethylene plastic, and the other is environmentally friendly PET packaging. If white wine is stored in polyethylene plastic barrels for a long time, the polyethylene can dissolve in the alcohol in large quantities. After people drink this kind of wine, they will suffer from skin allergies, and in severe cases, it can lead to anemia. PET is a new type of high-molecular polyester material, which has been used in foreign countries for packaging low-alcohol wines such as beer. It will not cause any harm if used to pack liquor, but the alcohol will gradually evaporate after being stored for too long.

Currently, there are two main types of food-grade plastic packaging materials: one is ordinary PE (polyethylene) plastic, and the other is environmentally friendly PET (polyester) plastic. The former is suitable for ordinary foods and beverages, while the latter is suitable for foods and beverages with strong solubility such as wine and cooking oil.
