Wine is an indispensable drink for parties and entertainment, and people generally like to drink nowadays, but the harm of drinking to the body should not be underestimated. If we don't control it, our body will continue to be damaged by alcohol, which will lead to the appearance of diseases.
Criteria for excessive alcohol consumption
Excessive alcohol consumption refers to the amount of alcohol consumed by an individual in a certain period of time that exceeds the healthy standard, and what is drunk into the body cannot be metabolized out of the body. According to research, adult men should not consume more than 40 grams of pure alcohol per day (equivalent to two glasses of beer or two glasses of wine), and women should not consume more than 20 grams.
If your body already has these "signals", don't drink anymore because your liver is giving you an early warning
The whites of the eyes are yellow after drinking
If the whites of the eyes are yellow, the first thing to consider is whether it is caused by liver lesions, but if there is still yellowing in the white circles of the eyes after drinking, then it means that our liver is sending us a distress signal. It is because drinking alcohol does not cause a great burden on our liver, so he is sending us some distress signals, and this situation also suggests timely hangover.
Decline in physical strength
Long-term excessive alcohol consumption can have serious negative effects on the body, one of which is physical decline. Alcohol disrupts the normal function of cells and damages internal organs, leading to muscle weakness and feelings of fatigue. If you often feel weak, listless every day, and don't feel like you've had enough rest, then it may be that alcohol has caused irreversible damage to your body. At this point, abstaining from alcohol is the only option. After quitting alcohol, your body will gradually recover and your physical strength will gradually increase.
Mood swings
Mood swings that occur after alcohol are common symptoms, including anxiety, depression, and irritability. Alcohol can disrupt the normal functioning of the nervous system and affect a person's ability to regulate emotions. Long-term alcohol consumption can lead to the exacerbation of emotional problems, causing people to fall into mood swings that they cannot extricate themselves from. If you find yourself experiencing unusual mood swings after alcohol and need to be vigilant, it could be alcohol addiction.
Social impairment
Alcohol affects brain functions, including thinking, judgment, and verbal expression. This makes a person awkward, apathetic, or even unable to communicate with others properly in social situations. If you find yourself unable to communicate well with others after drinking, then you may want to consider quitting drinking. Abstaining from alcohol can help you re-establish healthy social skills and improve your relationships.
Pain in the liver area
When you drink a lot of alcohol and feel pain and numbness in the liver from time to time, then you need to pay attention to it in time. This is most likely due to the fact that alcohol is causing damage to the liver, which in turn increases the burden on the liver. The liver is one of the most important organs in our body and is responsible for metabolizing and eliminating harmful substances such as alcohol. However, when we drink too much alcohol, the liver has to do more work to convert alcohol into a harmless substance. For a long time, this burden may increase and inflammation, which can lead to serious health problems, including liver cancer.
Inexplicable bleeding from the body
When certain parts of the body such as the gums and nasal passages are prone to bleeding, bleeding spots appear on the skin, or even when women experience heavy menstrual bleeding, it is likely that they have already developed alcoholic liver. However, many people don't pay much attention to bleeding while brushing their teeth, and they don't realize that it may be related to the disease.
In fact, bleeding teeth can easily be associated with health conditions and major illnesses throughout the body. The cause of these conditions is damage to the liver, which affects the production of clotting factors. As a result, the body's ability to clot blood decreases, resulting in a small amount of bleeding in areas with dense capillaries.
Although wine culture is very important in the mainland, if there are important occasions that cannot be avoided, it is okay to drink less. But if you're partying with friends or you're at home, there's really no need to drink.
