After entering society, invisible pressures envelop people. Alcohol, on the other hand, can paralyze the central system, allowing people to forget their troubles for a short time and fall asleep faster. As a result, many people are obsessed with the feeling of being slightly drunk after drinking.
However, alcohol is also quietly stealing your health, and there are many studies and clinical trials about the harm caused by drinking alcohol to the body. In clinical terms, no matter how much you like to drink, if you belong to the following six categories of people, you should also stay away from alcohol injuries as soon as possible:
1. Pregnant women
During pregnancy, no matter which alcohol-containing drink is drunk, alcohol will enter the fetus through blood circulation and placenta, affecting the normal development of the fetus and its future health.
Relevant studies have shown that pregnant women drink more wine a day during the critical period of pregnancy, and the probability of fetal suffering from deformities such as cleft lip and palate will increase by about 25%, the risk of low fetal birth weight will increase by 16%, and even cause fetal alcohol syndrome, resulting in permanent birth defects in the fetus;
2. Diseases of the digestive tract
The most important metabolic and decomposing organ of alcohol is the liver, but when alcohol enters the human body, it will first come into contact with the mucous membranes of the digestive tract, including the esophagus, stomach and so on. The mucous membrane of the digestive tract is quite delicate and fragile, and the higher the alcohol content, the more likely it is to cause damage to the mucous membrane.
If the patient has developed ulcer erosion, inflammation and other problems, and still drinks a lot of alcohol, the condition may become more and more serious, and even have a certain risk of perforation and upper gastrointestinal bleeding;
3. Take medication
If you have recently taken cephalosporin drugs, nitricazole drugs, antibacterial drugs, etc., you should be able to do not stick to alcohol.
Because these drugs react with alcohol, patients have disulfiram-like reactions, including flushing, blurred vision, and conjunctival congestion. In severe cases, patients may even experience chest pain, myocardial infarction, acute heart failure, acute liver injury, dyspnea, convulsions, death and other symptoms;
4. People who drive
Nowadays, drunk driving has been legislated on the mainland, and driving after drinking alcohol seriously threatens road safety, personal and other lives. This is so because alcohol has a paralyzing central system and excitatory effects.
After drinking alcohol, especially driving after drunkenness, it is difficult to control the behavior of individuals and is prone to traffic accidents;
5. Blush after drinking
Many people mistakenly believe that blushing after drinking alcohol is a manifestation of being able to drink alcohol and metabolizing alcohol quickly. But in fact, blushing after drinking alcohol is a manifestation of the liver's poor metabolic capacity. It should be known that ethanol itself, as well as acetaldehyde metabolite acetaldehyde, have the effect of dilating blood vessels.
If the body lacks acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde metabolism capacity is relatively poor, they accumulate in the body for a long time, and then there are symptoms of red ears, such people drink a lot of alcohol, there is a certain risk of alcohol poisoning;
6. Patients with liver disease
As mentioned above, the liver is the main organ of alcohol metabolism, and more than 95% of the alcohol ingested into the body is metabolized in the liver.
However, in the process of alcohol metabolism, ethanol and its metabolites can cause damage to liver cells, leading to the further development of liver disease. Therefore, patients who have already had liver disease should be able to do not stick to alcohol.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone that even if you do not belong to the above categories of people, it is not recommended that you drink a lot in your life. Because alcohol will cause damage to the digestive system, liver, brain central system, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular system, long-term large amounts of alcoholism, is bound to threaten personal health, and even bury hidden dangers to diseases, so it is necessary to quit drinking as soon as possible.
