Do you know the dangers of drinking for girls?

As female friends make up half of the population, drinking has become a common occurrence. Little do people know that frequent or excessive drinking can cause many harms to the body, such as myocardial hypertrophy, gallstones and kidney stones, rough skin, etc.

1. Beer has the lowest alcohol content . The alcohol content of one liter of beer is equivalent to that of more than one or two bottles of liquor. However, if you drink it excessively without restraint, the alcohol accumulated in the body will damage your liver function and increase the burden on your kidneys.

2. Excessive drinking will increase blood circulation and increase the burden on the heart, causing myocardial hypertrophy and expansion of ventricular size. Fat cells may also infiltrate the myocardial tissue, weakening myocardial function and causing tachycardia.

3. For patients with atrophic gastritis, urinary system stones, etc., drinking large amounts of alcohol will cause the recurrence of old diseases or aggravate the condition . This is because the barley malt used to brew beer contains calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid nucleotides and purine nucleotides. These interact with each other to more than double the amount of uric acid in the human body, which not only promotes the formation of gallstones and kidney stones, but also can induce gout.

4. Beer produces a lot of calories. Long-term and large-scale drinking will cause fat accumulation in the body, resulting in a potbelly and a beer belly, which can easily lead to increased blood lipids and blood pressure.

5. Drinking large amounts of alcohol can damage the gastric mucosa, causing gastritis and peptic ulcers, and symptoms such as upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, and acid reflux.

6. Excessive drinking can also reduce the body's reaction ability . American cancer experts have found that people who drink heavily have a three times higher risk of developing oral cancer and esophageal cancer.

7. The raw materials for brewing wine contain lead. After drinking a lot, the blood lead content will increase, causing people to have reduced intelligence and slow reactions. In severe cases, it will damage the reproductive system and easily cause Alzheimer's disease in the elderly.

8. Because women have less water in their bodies than men, alcohol will take away water from cells after being absorbed by the blood. Since women have lower water content in their bodies than men, after drinking the same amount of alcohol, the alcohol concentration in their bodies and livers is obviously higher . Therefore, women not only get drunk more easily than men when drinking, but are also more likely to develop liver disease.

9. Alcohol is the biggest enemy of the skin because it is a stimulating drink . If you drink alcohol for a long time and in excess, your skin will become rough and you may develop acne or other skin diseases. If you already have a skin disease, drinking alcohol will make it worse, such as vitiligo and acne.

10. Because alcohol is high in calories, women who drink alcohol are more likely to accumulate fat and develop obesity.
