As the saying goes, ten miles of different winds, a hundred miles of different customs, the drinking customs of the Great China vary according to the different nationalities and regions, but the New Year's holiday dinner and drinking is a common culture of the Chinese nation.
"The first glass of wine of the new year, we salute health. ”
"Let's not talk about these for now, it's the New Year, come and come, let's drink one together. ”
A word of blessing warmed you and me at the wine table.
But there are generally three reactions after drinking-"BlushingWhite on the facenot on the face".These three "complexions" represent the different effects of alcohol on the human body, please consider carefully and again!
"Red-faced" acetaldehyde metabolism
"BlushingIt is because of the lack of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase-2, which is the most active in the body. If there is a lack of this enzyme in the liver cells, acetaldehyde cannot be catalyzed, and a large amount of acetaldehyde enters the bloodstream, causing capillaries to dilate, showing symptoms such as flushing, rapid heartbeat, and nausea. About half of the yellow people are deficient in this acetaldehyde dehydrogenase-2, so most people are prone to blush when they drink alcohol, which is a sign that they cannot drink alcohol.
"White-faced" drinking is more dangerous
White on the faceEven people who drink alcohol and have a white face may be more dangerous. A large amount of alcohol enters the bloodstream, stimulates sympathetic nerve excitation, releases neurotransmitters such as catecholamines, and causes a large number of blood vessels to constrict, resulting in a pale complexion; Rapid heartbeat, cardiac complications, coronary heart attack, arrhythmia, etc.; If the outside temperature is very low, it will cause the body to dissipate heat too quickly, causing hypothermia and even fatal danger.
"Don't get on the face" a thousand cups are not drunk
not on the face".Even people who drink alcohol and do not change their color do not lack acetaldehyde dehydrogenase-2 and alcohol dehydrogenase in their bodies. It's like a master of internal skills in costume films, who uses his skills to force alcohol out of his body, and he is not drunk with a thousand glasses. So you have to stay away from these people, because you will never be able to drink from them.
In summary, due to individual differences, the content of ethanol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in each person's body will be different, so the rate of ethanol metabolism will also be different. Long-term drinking of large amounts of alcohol leads to the accumulation of acetaldehyde in the body, which is carcinogenic. The authoritative journal The Lancet shows that:There is no safe dose of alcohol, and even if you drink just one drop, it will hurt your body more.
Finally, a reminder to everyone:Drinking alcohol will cause some harm to the body, so you should pay attention to itDrink responsibly and don't hurt yourself!
