Chronic alcohol consumption causes a lot of damage to our bodies. Examples include: physical, mental and personality. In terms of the body, alcohol is a small molecule that can easily reach all organs of the body. When alcohol enters the body, it only takes 10 minutes to reach our brain, 15 minutes for 50% of the alcohol to be absorbed, half an hour for 60% to 90% to be absorbed, and 2 to 3 hours for the body to absorb 100% of the alcohol. But if you want to excrete alcohol it will take half a month to a month. This is equivalent to our brain is nearly a month of time is soaked in the alcohol tank inside. Alcohol can also cause significant damage to our nervous system, including: (1) uncoordinated muscles (unstable walking, alcohol dependence, inability to write, poor coordination), (2) slow reactions, (3) euphoric effects, (4) reduced self-control (children with seizures are very impulsive and grumpy after drinking); of course, in addition to our nervous system will also have an impact on our peripheral nerves, will There are a lot of alcohol-dependent patients with peripheral neuritis (numbness in the hands and feet, the feet do not step, B1, B12 are nutritious nerves, always drink on an empty stomach without nutrition, poor gastric function, poor absorption). And it is well known the effect of alcohol on the liver, about 57.5% of patients who drink alcohol for a long time have fatty liver and 15% have cirrhosis of the liver. Because alcohol breaks down in the liver, it is the liver that is the first to soak up the alcohol. In patients who drink a lot of alcohol over a long period of time, 80-160g of alcohol per day, the risk to the liver is 57 times higher than normal, and greater than 160g is 57 times higher. Many of our patients slowly go from “alcoholic liver → → fatty liver → → cirrhosis”, but if they can stop drinking alcohol, their liver can recover its function. Because alcohol is absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract, it is also easier to cause 1. gastric ulcer: alcohol has a direct stimulating effect on the gastric mucosa, mucosal inflammatory reaction → serious, including hemorrhage 2. malabsorption: long-term stimulation can lead to chronic gastritis → hiccups, loss of appetite, diarrhea 3. anemia: HB (transport of oxygen) 14g for men, 4-5g for the sick (seen in a wine dependent patient 2.5g). Secondly, long-term heavy drinking can also cause many adverse effects on our reproductive system as well, resulting in alcoholic fetuses (mothers during pregnancy, heavy alcohol consumption leads to fetal developmental disorders. It is one of the main causes of mental retardation. Examples include Li Bai and Tao Yuanming. Soviet studies, mothers who drink alcohol cause 34.5% of premature births, 26% of pregnancy toxemia; 25.5% of stillbirths, 12.5% of infant asphyxia; 10.5% of difficult births, and 3% of infant disability). The long-term use of alcohol can also have an impact on male sexual function. There is also a large amount of alcohol, will cause fat and calcium salt deposition, blood vessels lost elasticity, narrowing of the lumen, blood flow slowed down, difficult, affecting the absorption of tissue nutrients, resulting in brain hemorrhage, heart attack, brain infarction race, hypertension (hypertensive patients, overdose of antihypertensive drugs, alcohol addiction combined with sleeping pills may be dead). Again alcohol can cause a relatively large impact on our urinary system as well.
