From ancient times to the present, drinking is essential for dinner or entertainment. Drinking has become a tradition at the dinner table. No matter whether there are friends who like drinking or not, there will be wine on the table, thus forming a unique wine table culture in China.
Like liquor, beer is considered to be the most drunken liquor. But if you drink so much wine, what's the difference between drinking white wine and drinking beer for a long time? You will understand after reading it.
Long-term drinking of liquor
Liquor is a kind of beverage made of wheat, millet, sorghum, corn, sweet potato, rice bran and other grains or other fruits as the main raw materials, through fermentation, koji-making and distillation, so it is called liquor. Liquor is rich in aroma, mellow and soft, and has various flavors. Because it mainly uses burning (steaming) process, it is also called shochu. Because of its high alcohol content, some places call it strong liquor or high-alcohol liquor. China liquor has a long history and is unique in the world.
Liquor can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and saliva, thus playing the role of invigorating stomach, relieving pain, diuresis and expelling worms. Traditional Chinese medicine has a long history of using Chinese liquor to treat diseases or as a kidney-tonifying drug. Long-term moderate liquor can also promote blood circulation, prevent arteriosclerosis and excite the circulatory system. People with insomnia drink a small amount of white wine before going to bed, which is beneficial to sleep, and can stimulate the secretion of gastric juice and saliva, and play a role in strengthening the stomach. Liquor has the functions of ventilation, dispelling cold, relaxing muscles and promoting blood circulation.
Although liquor tastes mellow, excessive drinking will do a lot of harm to the body. Drinking a lot of white wine for a long time will almost inevitably lead to cirrhosis.
Drink beer for a long time
Beer is a low-alcohol wine rich in carbon dioxide, which is made of barley malt, hops and water by yeast fermentation.
Beer contains a lot of barley, alcohol, hops, polyphenols and other substances, which helps to improve digestion. Barley hull, the raw material of beer, is rich in silicon, which is beneficial to the health of skin, hair and nails and can maintain bone density.
Beer is a high-calorie drink, and the calorie of a bottle of beer is equivalent to the calorie demand of a day. By the way, it is because beer helps digestion that you eat so many high-oil and high-fat dishes, which leads to obesity and a "beer belly".
Drinking beer and liquor in moderation has certain benefits, and its effects are also different. As the saying goes, "Being is reasonable", if wine is purely harmful to human health, there is no need to exist.
Nowadays, people pay more attention to health preservation, and have great requirements for life, work and rest, and diet. However, due to the influence of China customs, people generally like to talk about things on the wine table. Although people can't change their customs and habits, they can ask themselves to be moderate.
