Does drinking alcohol cause back pain?

The dangers of long-term drinking

Maybe you drink for social occasions, or maybe you drink to relieve boredom. Everyone has different purposes for drinking. But no matter what the purpose is, it is not advisable to drink for a long time. Long-term drinking is very harmful.

1. Death: Alcohol can inhibit the respiratory center in the medulla oblongata, causing respiratory arrest. In addition, low blood sugar can also be a fatal factor.

2. Malabsorption syndrome causes various vitamin deficiencies, which indirectly lead to a variety of nervous system damage.

3. Liver damage: Fat accumulation in the liver causes fatty liver.

4. Gastric ulcer: can cause gastric bleeding and endanger life.

5. Nervous system damage: such as peripheral neuropathy.

6. Cerebral cortical atrophy: Reports show that some chronic alcoholics have cerebral cortical atrophy, and some patients also show signs of intellectual decline.

The harm of long-term drinking not only affects physical health, but also causes harm to family life, so alcoholics should quit drinking as soon as possible.

Key points for authenticity identification:

1. Alcohol tolerance has a lot to do with genes, and it is impossible to "train" it by drinking more. "Training" can only change your discomfort of being drunk from disgust to numbness.

2. The efficacy of various "alcohol detoxifying drugs" and "alcohol detoxifying enzymes" is not credible. Eating before drinking and drinking more warm water during and after drinking can reduce the stimulation of alcohol on the digestive tract. Drinking more warm water can promote the excretion of acetaldehyde and rehydration of the brain, so as to recover from a hangover as soon as possible. But these are stopgap measures.

3. It is true that drinking alcohol after taking cephalosporin antibiotics or other drugs can be fatal. In short, remember "don't drink alcohol while taking medicine."

4. After drinking too much, the protective mechanism of the organs of the human body fails, and vomitus may enter the respiratory tract and cause suffocation or even death. This situation is much more common than the case of "death by drinking after taking medicine".

5. There is a lack of rigorous verification of the benefits of drinking to the body. But there is countless evidence to support the harmful effects of excessive drinking on the body. The consensus in the medical community is that drinking should be strictly limited, with only one or two glasses of strong liquor and one bottle of beer per day. But can you do it at a dinner party?

6. It is not recommended to take a hot bath immediately when you are drunk.
