Dangers of alcoholism

In daily life, many men have the habit of drinking, and some even like to drink excessively, often until they are drunk. In fact, it is very bad for men to drink a lot of alcohol, because alcohol contains different levels of alcohol, and long-term excessive drinking can cause alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is very harmful to our body . It not only harms our brain nerves, but also affects men's fertility. Therefore, men should not be drunk often. Here are some of the dangers of alcohol poisoning.

Many men drink like crazy, while some men have to drink so much because of social events. No matter what the reason is, it is very bad for men's health to drink so much alcohol. Some people may say that wine is the essence of grain and the more you drink, the younger you will be. In fact, this view is very wrong.

Effects of alcohol on the human body: 1. Effect on the brain. Ethanol that enters the human body cannot be digested and absorbed, so it will enter the brain along with the blood. In the brain, ethanol damages neuronal cell membranes and binds indiscriminately to many neuronal receptors. Alcohol weakens the central nervous system and causes slow brain activity by activating isotropic neurons (GABA) and isotropic neurons (glutamate, nicotine). The disorder of GABA neurons and the secretion of opioid substances (anti-anxiety, anti-pain) in the body will lead to a sharp secretion of dopamine. Opioids in the body are also involved in the autoregulation of dopamine secretion. It affects memory, decision-making and physical reflexes, and can cause drunkenness, drowsiness and sometimes nausea. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to alcohol coma.

2 Tolerance and dependence. As time goes by, the liver's degradation of ethanol becomes more and more obvious (the duration of drunkenness is shortened). The brain adjusts the number and sensitivity of neuroreceptors accordingly to shorten the duration of sedation and intensify the effects of intoxication. The automatic regulation of dopamine secretion is disrupted, making rewards and bribes extremely sensitive. Neuronal cell membranes become rigid and their permeability decreases. To reach a state of intoxication again, the amount of alcohol consumed must be increased (tolerance), but at the same time the effects of alcohol will become more intense (sensitization).

3 Harmful alcohol can cause excessive calcium levels in neurons, make neuron cell membranes stiff, and disrupt the exchange of substances between nerve cells and the surrounding environment. A large number of nerve cells will die as a result. Various cognitive functions are affected as a result (especially memory, analytical ability and attention). Drinkers can develop psychological problems, anxiety, and depression. The overall toxicity can lead to cardiovascular disease, damage to nerve and muscle fibers, liver disease, and digestive tract cancer. Alcohol can also hinder the normal development of the fetus.

The harm of alcohol poisoning is very serious, but many drinkers in life have not paid attention to this problem. After reading the above introduction, do you understand now? Don’t make excuses for your drinking anymore. Whether it is because of work social events or gatherings with good friends, you can’t drink too much, because this will seriously harm our health. If it is a gathering of very good friends, you might as well try tea tasting, which is also a very good choice.
