Can the amount of alcohol really come out?Don't drink the truth, don't drink anymore

Everyone has seen Jin Yong's "Tianlong Babu" and knows that there are two alcoholic gods -Duan Yu and Qiao Feng. Duan Yu's drinking relies on the six vein god swords. You can turn the drinking wine into a trickle, and discharge from his fingers. Qiao Feng is really born to drink, and he is not drunk. In real life, is there any way for ordinary people like us to increase the amount of alcohol?

Many people hope that "Tiandao pays diligence" and believes that every time you drink more, the amount of alcohol can be trained for a long time. From the perspective of their own experience and the experience of the people around them, it seems that it is really effective, but these are actually the illusion of the body. What is the truth? After reading this article, I believe that many people dare not drink it again.

Whether you can drink it "cool" depends on its work ability

Can the amount of alcohol really be practiced? This has to start with the metabolism of alcohol in our body.

Alcohol is also called ethanol. When we drink it, it will be distributed to the whole body with the blood. A small part can be discharged from the body with breathing. The alcohol content in the gas is roughly proportional to the alcohol concentration in the blood, so we can check whether the driver drinks by blowing gas. Most of the other alcohol will be metabolized in the liver. The metabolic process of alcohol in the liver is very complicated, and it is more boring to be complete. As long as we know the most important part.

Among them, the most important way is called "ethanol dehydrogenase (ADH) ethanol oxidation system". This metabolic approach requires the help of two brothers: the "ethanol dehydrogenase" and the second brother "acetaldehyde dehydrogenase". Let's take a look at how the two brothers help us metabolize alcohol.

First of all, the alcohol that enters the body can make us feel "very cool" to a certain extent. Specifically, the feeling of "happy mood, relaxed spirit, and hope to talk about it", which is why some people love to drink. Of course, to maintain this "very cool" feeling, provided that the concentration of alcohol in the body is maintained at an appropriate level. If the concentration is too high, it will be drunk, lose consciousness, coma, and even death. This is alcoholism.

Alcohol becomes acetaldehyde under the action of the elder brother "ethanol dehydrogenase". Different from alcohol, acetaldehyde is a substance that makes us "unhappy". It can cause blushing and nausea, and can also cause mutations in our cells and promote the formation of tumors. What should I do? Can't sit still. At this time, the second brother "acetaldehyde dehydrogenase" out of the horse, decomposed the acetaldehyde and convert it into non -toxic acetic acid, and further metabolizes water, carbon dioxide and energy in the liver. The metabolism of alcohol is a process of our own hangover.

The ability to work between the two brothers largely determines our ability to drink. If the elder brother and the second brother have a good working ability, the entire process of decomposition (ethanol) is unimpeded, and the metabolism of alcohol is relatively smooth, so that we can taste the appropriate "refreshing" of alcohol, but at the same time, it will not be subject to acetaldehyde. harm.

"Thousands of not drunk" are talented people who are born with a good amount of alcohol

But imagine that this situation is a workaholic (ethanol dehydrogenase). The second brother (acetaldehyde dehydrogenase) likes foreign workers. What consequences will this cause?

At this time, the Brotherhood constantly transformed alcohol into acetaldehyde, but the second brother could not dismiss the acetaldehyde in time. This is troublesome. Acetaldehyde will accumulate in the body. For example, red ears and red ears are disgusting.

Those who are not able to drink, or those who have a red ears and red ears, are usually because there is a master of workaholic and the second brother of the foreign workers living in the body.

Some friends said, can I practice drinking more and exercise (improvement) the work ability (attitude) of the second brother, can I improve the amount of alcohol?

Unfortunately, the characteristics of the two brothers are determined by our genes. They are born, and the day after tomorrow can change.

What groups of this alcohol metabolism disorder? Mainly in East Asian people. In China, it is mainly in the southeast, which is mainly Han, which can account for about 30%.

So, how to judge whether you are 30%? It's very simple, answer these two questions: First, after you drink a glass of beer (about 180 ml), will you blush quickly? Secondly, in the first few years after you started drinking, have you had any questions? As long as there is a answer, then congratulations, you are one of these 30%.

"Practicing" is that the false elephant is not blushed or the blood vessel numbness is numb.

For people who are born with a good amount of alcohol, my suggestion is to drink as little as possible to avoid harm to the body. However, some people are still not convinced: "Drink more, the amount of alcohol can still increase a little bit."

This statement is unscientific. In fact, "blushing syndrome" is a natural warning and protection of the body, which can prevent individual alcohol (ethanol) poisoning. If you have to drink and exercise the amount of alcohol, it seems that the "blushing syndrome" alleviates a bit, but this is because the blood vessels on our faces are numb and it is not so popular. In fact, the acetaldehyde that does not have metabolism in the body is still continuously damaging our organs. So people with poor alcohol can not drink, don't drink anymore.

Don’t indulge in alcohol photos to destroy the body

Speaking of which, there may be little friends who are proud: "I have a good amount of alcohol. It turned out that God gave me an excellent gene, then I can fully enjoy the fun of drinking." Early, although you won on the starting line, you still cannot drink unscrupulously. At least the following reasons: First of all, a person has a strong metabolic ability for acetaldehyde, and he can only say that he metabolizes faster. It is not that there is no toxicity at all. Drinking for a long time, drinking a lot of alcohol, and accumulating less, the harm of acetaldehyde will still be reflected.

Secondly, in addition to the intermediate product acetaldehyde, alcohol (ethanol) also has a variety of ways to hurt our bodies. High -concentration alcohol has a direct toxic effect on the pepper of the digestive tract. Alcohol can increase the activity of an enzyme called CYP3E1 in the body and promote a large amount of oxygen free radicals. These oxygen free radicals are related to the cancer of the liver, colon, esophageal and other tissues. At the same time, long -term drinking can affect the absorption and metabolism of folic acid, which is related to the occurrence of liver, colorectal cancer, and breast cancer.

In addition, excessive drinking can also affect immune function, estrogen levels, and dysfunction of digestive flora. These negative factors will erode your health and even promote the occurrence of tumors.

Send you a trick to get rid of

Alcohol is harmful to health. I believe most people agree. However, some people may say that there will be a occasion that work entertainment and friends will inevitably need to drink. If we sometimes have to drink, what should we do?

Here we will tell you two reliable ways of hangover: first, alleviate the absorption of alcohol; second, speed up the excretion of alcohol.

Before drinking alcohol, eat more food, drink yogurt, and eat bananas, so that our stomach is full, which can slow down the absorption of alcohol and reduce the pressure of body metabolism.

Drink as much water as much as possible, or take a bit of hangover medicine. They have the effect of diuretic, which can help us excrete alcohol as soon as possible, and can also achieve the effect of hangover.

Finally, I give you four sentences as a summary. The Han people have obstacles to metabolism, and they cannot speed up more. If you want to protect the liver and not hurt, drink plenty of water to eat more vegetables.
