How many people have alcohol been put on various labels, social panacea, emotional lubricant, happiness is fun, sadness is sorrow, nothing can be separated from wine, some people are willing to drink, and some people have to drink, if you don't drink, you don't give face, entertainment is full of alcohol, but it is a class of carcinogens, are you all left behind? You have not done a good thing since you entered your body.

When you drink alcohol (ethanol) and it enters the body, you start doing whatever you want in your body, and the ethanol is inhaled into the bloodstream by the stomach and small intestine, and since the small intestine absorbs much faster than the stomach, and the stomach closes the pyloric sphincter that leads to the small intestine when digesting food, it is better to eat something than nothing.

The blood circulation then sends ethanol to the liver for a series of metabolic activities, first by ethanol dehydrogenase into acetaldehyde, then by acetaldehyde dehydrogenase into acetic acid, and finally acetic acid is converted into carbon dioxide and water excreted.

In addition, theoretically, the faster ethanol is metabolized, the greater the amount of alcohol, but unfortunately most people's livers can only remove 15 ml of ethanol per hour, which is the amount of a bottle of beer.

Alcohol. So when you're feeling deep, there's a lot of ethanol that builds up and follows the bloodstream around.

Here is a reminder that people who drink alcohol and blush are because the activity of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase is low, and the speed of metabolizing acetaldehyde is slow, resulting in a large amount of acetaldehyde also accumulating, and it also follows the blood to wander around, acetaldehyde makes blood vessels dilate, and it looks like blushing, and more serious is that acetaldehyde is more toxic and carcinogenic, and where the blood goes, it will go, that is, all organs in your body are affected by it, so don't be reckless if you have a blush, that is poisoning, not that you can drink.

Due to its super penetrating ability, it takes only 30 seconds for ethanol in the blood to cross the blood-brain barrier to reach the brain, and the brain neurosource is transmitted through neurotransmitters.

After that, you will feel calm and relaxed at the beginning of drinking, which is a sign of inhibition of nerve pathways, so it is not a good thing, and as the amount of alcohol you drink, the nervous system is further suppressed and weakened, and you will become sluggish, your concentration will decrease, and you may be a little sleepy, and the concentration of ethanol in the blood at this time is only 30 mg 100 ml.

Alcohol. Some people feel that drinking alcohol is not only not sleepy, but more excited, this is because ethanol can stimulate the release of dopamine, bring pleasure, cover up sleepiness, and the more you drink, the more dopamine is released, the more refreshing you are, and the more you want to drink, so there are always people who drink too much, feel very refreshed, and can't stop.

In addition, since the action of the prefrontal cortex is also inhibited by ethanol, you will be disturbed and talk a lot when you are excited.

The prefrontal cortex is responsible for controlling emotional restraint and keeping us sane, ethanol restricts it, it can't limit us, a few glasses of wine in the stomach, people who talk less can talk endlessly, and people who are restrained can also dance.

In short, dare to say what you don't usually dare to say, dare to do what you don't usually dare to do, and that's how you get drunk and courageous.

At this time, the concentration of ethanol in the blood comes to 60 mg 100 ml, with the blessing of dopamine, you keep toasting, and the balance of GABA and glutamate in the brain continues to tilt towards the inhibitory end, you will find that you are confused, emotionally out of control, clumsy in action, and can't even speak, which is a manifestation of temporary alcoholism.

Alcohol. Because when the concentration of ethanol reaches 100 milligrams of 100 milliliters, your brain, cerebellum and brainstem have been severely damaged by alcohol, such as the cerebellum, which is responsible for movement and balance.

At the same time, because it can also damage the hippocampus, which is responsible for short-term memory, even if you fall, you will not know what is going on when you look at the injury on your body the next day.

If it is not stopped in time at this time, when the concentration of ethanol in the blood reaches 200 milligrams 100 milliliters, the nervous system will be deeply inhibited, perception will be impaired, almost all comprehension, motor ability and memory will be lost, and the brain will be blank, which is what we often call short films.

More seriously, the function of the medulla oblongata in the brainstem, which controls the most basic physiological functions of perception, respiration, and body temperature, is also deeply suppressed.

If it is confined, the drunk person is likely to fall asleep in any place due to unconsciousness, and may never wake up again.
