Baijiu, as an important part of traditional Chinese culture, has been loved by people since ancient times. Especially during dinner, a glass of white wine is often seen as a good companion to relax and increase your appetite. However, with the development of modern medicine, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the health effects of alcohol consumption.

Baijiu is mainly composed of alcohol (ethanol) and water, and also contains trace amounts of esters, aldehydes, acids and other substances. After alcohol enters the body, it is metabolized mainly through the liver. Moderate amounts of alcohol can be metabolized and excreted by the body normally, but excessive intake of alcohol can cause damage to the body.

Choose the right wine: Try to choose low-alcohol and high-quality wines to avoid harmful substances in inferior wines that cause damage to the body.
Avoid drinking alcohol on an empty stomach: Drinking alcohol on an empty stomach can easily lead to rapid absorption of alcohol and increase the burden on the liver. Eat some foods before drinking alcohol to slow down the absorption of alcohol.
Do not take with medication: Alcohol taken with certain drugs, such as cephalosporins, can have serious and even life-threatening adverse effects. Alcohol should be avoided as much as possible while taking the drug.
