This gene can affect people's reaction to alcohol, thus determining whether a person is an alcoholic.
Alcohol genes are a series of genes related to alcohol decomposition, including alcohol dehydrogenase, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, superoxide dismutase and peroxidase. This determines the different reactions of different people when drinking. One of the most direct genes is acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH2). If it is abnormal, acetaldehyde will accumulate in the body and seriously damage the liver.
Alcohol gene is a segment of human gene sequence. When a person is born, the alcohol gene has already decided how much he can drink, and it will remain the same for life. The alcohol gene testing carried out in the hospital is to analyze a person's ability to metabolize alcohol by detecting the genotype corresponding to acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, so as to judge whether it is suitable for drinking.
In medicine, drunkenness is called alcoholism. After Nacho was drunk, many people told you some unique anti-alcoholism tricks: drinking strong tea, taking liver-protecting drugs, eating bananas and drinking more water. Unfortunately, there is no scientific evidence that these methods are useful, and some of them are even harmful to health.
Earlier this year, Rachel Freeman of Indiana University School of Medicine told People in the British Medical Journal.
As early as 2005, Britain and the Netherlands have verified the common methods of hangover through experiments.
These methods include three drugs, four dietotherapy and fructose. The results show that these methods can alleviate some symptoms (such as nausea and headache) after drunkenness, but they can't alleviate drunkenness. In other words, there is no good way to get drunk, and it is almost impossible to find an effective solution that suits you.

The influence of drinking every day on a person
Wine is actually a very common thing in our daily life. We may use wine on many occasions, and there are many concerns about wine culture in China. Especially for many men, alcohol is an indispensable part of their lives, so some people may drink alcohol every day, but it has a great influence on people.
Drinking too much wine every day is likely to damage the human liver function and cause certain damage to the liver, because the main component of liquor is ethanol, which is also commonly known as alcohol, and most of this substance is metabolized through the liver.
Therefore, if you drink white wine for a long time, it may increase the burden on the liver, easily lead to alcoholic hepatitis, and may even lead to cirrhosis and even liver cancer.
In addition, excessive drinking may increase the burden on the heart. Although a small amount of drinking can play a role in health preservation, because a small amount of drinking white wine can dilate blood vessels and accelerate blood circulation throughout the body, if you drink a lot of alcohol for a long time, it is very likely that your heart and kidneys will start to overload, which will easily lead to some myocardial diseases, which is very unfavorable to your health.
In addition, the most important point is that heavy drinking can easily lead to obesity, which has become a very distressing phenomenon for modern people. Who doesn't want to have a good figure? A slim person will not only look more beautiful, but also bear less load on his whole body.
However, liquor contains a lot of calories, so if you drink a lot of liquor for a long time, it is likely to cause the accumulation of fat in your body and easily lead to obesity.
