Chinese medicine believes that when people sleep at night, it is the best time to nourish the liver. At this time, if they drink alcohol, it will increase the burden on the liver, because most of the alcohol is metabolized in the liver.

When people are resting, the liver is working overtime, which can't achieve the purpose of nourishing the liver. It is best to drink it before meals, so as to keep healthy and not hurt the liver.

Extended data:

Experts believe that drinking red wine every time should be 50 ~ 100 ml, but it should not exceed 250 ml per day. Professor Doyle in Britain pointed out that moderate drinking can reduce the death rate by 28% compared with people who don't drink at all.

But beyond this limit, the mortality rate does not fall, but rises. Excessive drinking is not only an important cause of liver cancer, liver cirrhosis and other diseases, but also social problems caused by drinking are endless.

In addition, it is best to drink red wine while eating, which can prevent the stomach from absorbing ethanol and reduce the ethanol concentration in the blood by 50%. It is not advisable to drink red wine before going to bed, and patients with liver disease should pay more attention.
