On the land of China, migrant workers are silent devotees of urban construction and development. Their living conditions are often ignored by society. However, when we look closely, we will find that there is a small detail in their daily life that reveals the hardships and helplessness of their lives, that is, they always have to drink a cold beer when they eat. This seemingly ordinary behavior is actually a portrayal of the living conditions of migrant workers.
**1. Eating habits of migrant workers**
The eating habits of migrant workers are often simple and pragmatic. Due to the limitations of the working environment, they are often unable to enjoy exquisite food, and more often solve the problem of food and clothing on the construction site. As a result, their diet tends to be dominated by high-calorie, high-fat foods, which can both meet their energy needs for high-intensity work and give them some satisfaction under limited conditions. However, this eating habit also brings health problems, such as high blood pressure and heart disease, which is also a serious problem faced by migrant workers.
**Second, the advantages of cold beer analysis**
The popularity of cold beer among migrant workers is inseparable from its own characteristics. First of all, cold beer has the effect of relieving heat and cooling down, which is undoubtedly very attractive to migrant workers who work in hot weather. Secondly, beer has a certain alcohol content, which can relieve the fatigue of migrant workers to a certain extent and bring a temporary sense of relaxation. In addition, beer also has a certain social attribute, and migrant workers can enhance their friendship with each other and reduce the pressure of work when they drink a bottle of beer at meal.
**3. Working environment and physiological needs**
The working environment of migrant workers is difficult, and the long hours of physical labor make their bodies in a state of high fatigue. In this case, a cold beer is undoubtedly a physiological satisfaction for them. They drink a bottle of beer with a meal, both to relieve fatigue and to some extent satisfy their cravings for life.
**4. Psychosocial effects of cold beer**
The popularity of cold beer among migrant workers is also related to its social and psychological effects. Migrant workers are a group with low social status, and they are often discriminated against and ignored in society. The act of drinking beer can bring them a sense of belonging and self-identity to a certain extent. In addition, beer is also regarded as a drink for adults, and drinking beer can make them feel that they have grown into the labor force of society, and have a certain amount of self-esteem and self-confidence.
**5. Economic Factors and Consumption Habits**
Economic factors are also an important reason why migrant workers like to drink cold beer. Due to the generally low incomes of migrant workers, they are often unable to afford the high consumption. As a beverage with an affordable price, beer not only meets their economic conditions, but also meets their consumption needs. In addition, the life circle of migrant workers is relatively closed, and their social activities are often dominated by eating and drinking, which also makes beer an indispensable part of their lives.
**6. In-depth thinking on the life of migrant workers**
The seemingly ordinary behavior of migrant workers drinking cold beer is actually a portrayal of their living conditions. Behind this behavior, their helplessness in life and their expectations for the future are hidden. In a difficult working environment, they drink beer to relieve the heat, relieve fatigue and strengthen friendships, while also finding self-identity and belonging. However, this lifestyle also exposes the dilemmas faced by migrant workers, such as health problems, low social status, economic pressure, etc. Therefore, we need to pay attention to the lives of migrant workers, provide them with a better working environment and living security, and let them truly integrate into urban life.
