In China, wine culture has a deep historical relationship with the smell of books and ink. Since ancient times, literati and writers have often taken wine as their companion and books as their friends, drinking alone under the moon, and reading books in their leisure time, forming a unique cultural atmosphere.
The process of sake brewing requires three elements: water, koji, and grain. Water is the blood of wine, koji is the skeleton of wine, and grain is the essence of wine. Together, these elements make up the soul of the soy sauce.
1. Why do you blush when you drink alcohol?
The flush is caused by acetaldehyde. Acetaldehyde is able to dilate capillaries, so people who blush from alcohol mean they can quickly convert ethanol to acetaldehyde. Usually 1-2 hours after drinking, the red color will gradually fade. This is a process in which the p450 enzyme in the liver gradually converts acetaldehyde into acetic acid, which is then metabolized by the body's circulation.
2. Which is the more alcoholic person, the person who blushes when he drinks or the person who does not blush when he drinks?
In fact, people who blush when they drink alcohol are not easy to hurt their liver, while people who don't blush when they drink alcohol are easy to hurt their liver. This is because people who blush have highly active enzymes in their bodies to process alcohol, while people who don't blush after drinking alcohol do not have such enzymes, resulting in alcohol accumulation in the body, which can easily cause damage to the liver. For people who blush when they drink alcohol, they can drink several meals in a row and continue to drink even if they vomit, whereas people who don't blush after drinking need more time to rest because it takes a day or two for alcohol to metabolize.
3. Why do you have a headache after drinking liquor?
If you have a headache after drinking liquor, you should first consider the presence of fusel oil in alcohol, which is a toxic substance to the body and can stimulate the brain to cause headache symptoms. Therefore. It is advisable to drink high-quality liquor and not low-quality liquor when drinking. In addition, liquor contains amines, which are catecholamines themselves, which stimulate the sympathetic nerve to release adrenaline, which has the effect of constricting blood vessels and raising blood pressure, and headache symptoms will occur when blood pressure rises. Patients with drinking headaches can drink a large amount of honey water or sugar water before drinking, which can quickly convert ethanol into acetaldehyde in the liver to promote alcohol metabolism, and the headache symptoms will be reduced after drinking.
Fourth, what is the principle of drinking alcohol to keep warm?
The principle of drinking alcohol to warm up is mainly because after alcohol enters the human body, it will stimulate the body's blood circulation and metabolism to speed up, so that the body can produce heat and release it, so that people feel warm. Specifically, when alcohol enters the body, it stimulates the heart to beat faster, which makes blood circulation faster, and at the same time, the components of alcohol dilate blood vessels, so that blood flow in blood vessels increases. These physiological reactions cause more blood to flow through the surface of the body, which accelerates the dissipation of heat, and quickly transports the heat from the body to the surface. In addition, alcohol stimulates the body's metabolic activity, which makes the body's energy metabolism faster, resulting in more calories. This heat will be dissipated through the surface of the **, making people feel warm. It is important to note that while drinking alcohol can make people feel warm temporarily, this warmth is temporary. Because the heat in the body is not generated at the rate at which it is lost, the person will feel cold. At the same time, excessive drinking not only does not play a role in keeping out the cold, but will make it colder after drinking. Therefore, drinking alcohol in a cold environment for heating should be consumed in moderation.
5. Without drinking, there is also alcohol in the human body.
Even if a person is not actively ingesting alcohol, there may be trace amounts of alcohol in his body. This is because the body's digestive system has a fermentation function that can produce alcohol. Specifically, when sugar from food enters the digestive system, some bacteria convert it into alcohol and other substances. This process is known as "fermentation". While the amount of alcohol produced by this process is small, in some cases, the amount of alcohol in the body may be slightly higher. In addition, allergic reactions to alcohol are usually due to alcohol intake exceeding a certain limit. When a person ingests a large amount of alcohol, his body may experience allergic reactions such as itching, difficulty breathing, etc. It is important to note that although the human body may contain trace amounts of alcohol, this does not mean that we should drink alcohol regularly. Excessive alcohol consumption can cause negative effects on physical health, including liver damage, heart problems, nervous system damage, etc.
Therefore, we should maintain a moderate drinking Xi and avoid excessive drinking. In general, Chinese wine culture has a long history and is closely related to the fragrance of books and ink. In the process of drinking, learn some knowledge and common sense about wine, so that you can better taste wine and enjoy life.
