Does not being drunk mean no harm? To understand this problem, we must first understand the "capacity for drinking".
The so-called "alcohol tolerance" simply means that you may only drink two or two liquors at first. After drinking for a year or two, your drinking capacity will rise to four or two to half a catty at a time, so this is "drinking capacity".
There are two types of alcohol tolerance.
One is functional tolerance. That is, under the constant stimulation or anesthesia of alcohol, the sensitivity of the brain and nervous system to alcohol decreases. In fact, I am drunk, but my brain has become dull, and the message from my nerves is "I'm not drunk yet". This is the first case.
The second is metabolic tolerance. What is the metabolism of alcohol? It is mainly metabolized by our liver system. The liver has a compensatory effect. It took two or two glasses of wine to get drunk. As a result, you drank four or two glasses of wine, so the brain commanded the liver to speed up metabolism, otherwise "Lao Zi" would be finished. This is a stress response and self-protection mechanism of human body at work. But it gives people the illusion that I'm not drunk.
Obviously, no matter which kind of alcohol tolerance is above, the harm and influence of alcohol on human body still exists. The first tolerance is "brain problems" and the second tolerance is "liver problems". Because the liver often works overtime, there is only one result, and that is, "it will be exhausted sooner or later." For example, alcoholic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, liver ascites and so on are all caused by this.
So back to the question itself, "don't get drunk when drinking"? This kind of boasting can be forced, but you really can't guarantee it.
In particular, Asians themselves have less active substances such as alcohol dehydrogenase and ethyl acetate dehydrogenase, so we Asians are more likely to get drunk than Europeans and Americans! It's just the illusion of "not drunk" under the action of alcohol tolerance.
How about drinking some white wine with every meal?
Although drinking seems bad, drinking also has its fun. Although fun belongs to emotions, it affects people's endocrine system. A person who always keeps a happy mood will stimulate the body to secrete dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter, which can regulate various physiological functions of the nerve center. If there is more dopamine, people's happiness will be strong, and if there is less dopamine, they will be prone to depression and even breed cancer.
So, whether to drink or not depends on your psychological acceptance. There is no guidance on prohibition of alcohol in "Guidelines for Dietary Nutrition of China Residents", only "alcohol restriction". That is to say, you can drink alcohol, but you should control the amount of alcohol, and don't drink too much (male 25g, female 15g).
Two days ago, I saw a 77-year-old man in Tik Tok. He drank two glasses (white wine, yellow wine or beer) every day. The old man looks less than 60 years old, although he is strong and mentally healthy. In this case, can you deny that drinking is bad for him? To tell the truth, I dare not draw such a conclusion.
Therefore, it is ok to limit alcohol in moderation. For example, I stipulate to drink one or two or half cups a day, not much. For the reasons explained above, it is impossible to ensure that you are not drunk. Again, "If you want to keep healthy, you need self-discipline". Make a good diet plan and eat regularly. This is good for your health and you can live longer!
