How much alcohol you can drink without heavy harm to health?
Source:
People Have different attitude to alcohol. Someone can't survive one night without a glass of beer, others generally never in life never touched alcohol. Even a person without a degree it is clear that drinking alcohol every day — is harmful to the body, but what if we talk about the optimum dose of alcohol? How much can you drink to minimize the effects of alcohol on health? Now, when many are in isolation, and often starts to drink much more than usual, the question for many becomes relevant.
How much alcohol you can't drink
I have to Say — a unified opinion on this issue. Some scientists say that even small amounts of alcohol has a devastating effect on the body. Others believe that small doses of alcohol can even be useful. And have recommendations of the who (world health organization), according to which dangerous dose of alcohol is in 60 ml of ethanol for men and 50 ml for women. However, since pure ethanol, few uses (well I hope), here is how absolutely dangerous dose of alcohol looks like in terms familiar to most drinks.
the-
the
- 180 g of vodka for men and 150 g of vodka for women the
- 1.5 l of beer the
- 0.5 l wine
But do not think that if you drink less than these values, then the body will be nothing. Even if you eat the equivalent of 30 ml of ethanol per day (90 g of vodka, 800 ml of beer or large glass of wine) can greatly harm your health.
What happens if you drink alcohol every day?
Scientists have been exploring this question. Recent evidence suggests that alcohol reduces the risk of atherosclerosis. Partly it helps to avoid blockage of blood vessels cholesterol plaques. What is dangerous cholesterol? It causes problems with blood circulation. The blood ceases to circulate normally through the vessels as they are filled with cholesterol, and the person may even die. Alcohol also «washes» vessels and prevents cholesterol to stagnate.
Does this Mean that alcohol can be drunk every day? No. In this case we are talking about extremely low doses of alcohol. If to take for a basis the same who recommendations, experts suggest at least two days a week completely to abstain from alcohol. Of course, the longer you drink, the better.
But this does not mean that you need to drink every day a small glass of wine, let on the Network and walk numerous stories as some kind of grandfather drank a glass every day and lived to 90 years. Here are all individually and you must consider many factors — from chronic diseases to hereditary predispositions. Not to mention the fact that alcohol is absolutely contraindicated underage and pregnant.
did you know that the longest time of alcohol stay in your hair?
If you drink alcohol every day, the body cannot excrete it from the body, and start a disease like alcoholism. He has 3 stages and in this article we will consider them. But first, take a look — how did the effects of alcohol on humans?
How it works alcohol
the Brain of an ordinary man and an alcoholic. In the second case, most of the connections in the brain are destroyed.
What is the alcohol in scientific understanding? This ethanol, which is produced by the fermentation of sugar, yeast and starch. And all this "nuclear" mixture has a wonderful property: it is incredibly fast through all stages of digestion. That is, until you have digested dining soup (about 30 minutes) or chicken (up to 2 hours), the alcohol quickly reaches the target — the human circulatory system, sometimes even bypassing the liver, if you drink in large scale. She's just not able to let through such a large amount of alcohol.
Its a nasty case alcohol starts to do it in the circulatory system: it damages the red blood cells (tiny body that make up the blood), which they clumped together, forming clots. Blood clots in turn block the move of blood in small arteries, and this leads to blockage of blood vessels of the brain. Hence, there is a feeling of intoxication that are similar to those when the brain lacks oxygen.
human Erythrocytes, which have consumed large amounts of alcohol. They are almost all stuck together.
Therefore, if you not to drink alcohol in moderation, the brain will always be like this. This will lead to the degradation of many mental and physical functions — the state, comparable, if at once to drink a lot of alcohol. People can't stand on your feet and aware for their actions.
Stages of alcoholism
Permanent alcohol consumption leads to alcoholism, which has three stages.
-
the
- At first stage alcohol dependence in humans gradually lost control of the amount of drinking beverage, which leads to pathological attraction to alcohol. the
- To secondstage the person even appears "immune" to alcohol, or rather it seems so. Indeed, if a person at this stage will consume more than 1 liter of alcohol, the body with the mind will begin to perceive alcohol easier. In fact behind this lies the development of serious diseases — hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, esophageal cancer and stomach cancer. the
- Alcoholism third stage is characterized by complete degradation of the individual in physical and mental plans. People can no longer drink alcohol and in most cases die.
The Scientists believe that alcoholism is affected by genetic predisposition, caused by inadequate secretion of enzymes for processing alcohol. But in actual fact it affects the amount of alcohol consumed. Just don't drink, if you know that you lose control, and there is an unpleasant condition of the body.
Alcoholism is a disease and should be treated
what causes a hangover?
This question many the next morning after a stormy party (usually with the words "well, it's certainly not going to drink"). Actually the explanation is simple: alcohol awfully quickly gets into the blood system of the body, but VERY slowly leaves it. And the human body cannot fully recover after a stormy night, while the substance will not be completely destroyed and digested. So there is a hangover.
I'm Sure many have googled, how to avoid hangover, before you start celebrating the next event with alcohol. But the answer can fit in one sentence: do not drink in large quantities, and then the alcohol has time to leave the body before your head touches the pillow.
How to drink alcohol?
Researchers identify so-called "Northern model" of alcohol and "South". The first group includes Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Baltic countries who drink a lot of alcohol, and shock doses, and not always often. "South" model is typical for Spain, Italy, Greece, where you can drink even more than in Russia, but smaller and not so strong alcohol, for example a glass of dry wine with dinner. 100 grams of vodka every day, no drinking.
Scientists agree that the "South" model is more safe for health, though still noted that daily consumption of alcohol is injurious to health. So don't abuse it.
Every minute of 0.7% of the population of the planet is in a state of alcoholic intoxication. It turns out, 50 million people drunk right now.
