Interesting facts about the dangers of alcohol
Alcohol was invented many centuries ago, and since then it has gained frenzied popularity all over the world. It's no wonder that there are so many different myths about the properties of alcohol. We will try to briefly present interesting facts about the dangers of alcohol. Especially because it's silly to talk about self-development about the benefits of alcohol, which is only in the short-term relaxation of the body.
Myths about alcohol:
Are light spirits less harmful than spirits? Nonsense. All alcoholic beverages contain ethyl alcohol. It is this substance that causes dependence in a person. You can consider beer, wine and vodka as just multi-colored wrappers containing the same substance. So, all alcoholic beverages are equally harmful to the body.
Alcohol warms? Another fiction. Although after using a certain dose of alcohol, the blood vessels, however, expand, but this is a short-term effect. But after drinking alcohol, a person quickly loses sensitivity to the cold, and this already threatens the body's hypothermia, which can lead to further illness and even death.
Does Alcohol Prevent the Flu? At the root of the wrong statement, because ethanol is not able to destroy the flu virus. Moreover, alcohol contributes to a decrease in immunity, which makes a person more susceptible not only to influenza but also to a number of other diseases.
Alcohol helps to quickly fall asleep? Small doses of alcohol cause drowsiness. But in a state of intoxication, a person is only able to sleep in the phase of slow sleep. Then, as an organism, in order to fully relax, a fast sleep phase is required. Therefore, sleep after a dose of alcohol will be ineffective.
Does alcohol arouse appetite? Using such a questionable approach, you can only earn a gastritis. After drinking alcohol causes appetite with the help of increased production of gastric juice.
Does Alcohol Reduce Pressure? After drinking a dose of alcohol, the vessels expand and the pressure really goes down for a short time. But then the frequency of contraction of the heart muscle increases and the volume of pumped blood increases. As a result, the pressure not only will not go down, but will also increase.
Alcohol heals the stomach? In fact, alcohol is not able to treat the stomach, it can only anesthetize it. And if the disease is not treated, but only anesthetized, then soon one of the stomach diseases will develop.
The above interesting facts about the dangers of alcohol debunk the myths in which mankind attributes alcohol to medicinal properties. So it was at the time of the invention of alcohol, when he was considered an elixir of youth. This is the case now, when alcohol is seen as a cure for many diseases.
