◆ If it is ordinary public liquor on the hotel table, let's call it 100 yuan, and pour 20 cups, each cup is equivalent to 5 yuan, which is not expensive.
◆ What if it is Erguotou? Red Star Erguotou's most common bottle of 8 yuan, 8÷20, is only 4 cents per cup.
Of the above three situations, I believe the first one has nothing to do with most of us.
The second situation is common. You can go back in time by spending 5 yuan on a glass of wine.
As for the third case, to be honest, for people who like to drink, I believe that most people (especially northerners) have drunk Red Star Erguotou. People who are addicted to alcohol are always cheap.
Such a glass of wine only needs 4 cents to go back in time.
It's pathetic. We have destroyed ourselves with a few dollars or even a few cents for countless times (to put it bluntly, "very cheap")!
Of course, I am not a money addict, and I also know that health and happiness cannot be calculated by price.
However, we destroy ourselves at a price, and it is quite cheap!
Be careful when you see GB/T 1087 1 when buying wine. It must be noted that the national standard of standard Maotai-flavor liquor is GB/T26760, and there are differences between them.
How to tell the quality of wine?
The most effective way to distinguish between good and bad wine is to learn how to make naked wine. Naked wine is to light a fire for the wine, burn all its alcohol and take off the clothes of the wine. At this time, the remaining wine is called naked wine, which is a method of acid ester separation. Pure grain wine is clear and transparent before it is made into naked wine, and it will become very turbid after it is made into naked wine. After careful tasting at the entrance, there will be a sour taste of grain fermentation, a little sweetness after the sour taste, a little distiller's grains after the sweetness, and a little bitterness at the root of the tongue. If the entrance smells of urine, it must contain edible alcohol-whether it is dried potato alcohol, molasses alcohol or corn alcohol, it has this characteristic.
The truth of liquor plasticizer: it is a "necessity", not a plastic pipe.
Recently, the confidence crisis of China Liquor caused by the plasticizer detected by the media in Xiangxi Jiugui Liquor has intensified. In the past 10 days, hundreds of billions of market value have evaporated in the whole liquor sector of China stock market. In Hong Kong, the netizen "Crystal Emperor" who claimed to be an investor in Maotai bought Maotai for inspection. The results showed that Maotai, known as the best liquor in China, seemed to be cursed by plasticizer. This time, there was no third party witness to the inspection of "Crystal Emperor", and only one inspection agency was sent for inspection. Whether the plasticizer data of Maotai is credible is still controversial, but it still causes great shock in the liquor industry. 65438+February 65438+February, at the press conference of Kweichow Moutai Co., Ltd. Guiyang, Ma Yong, executive vice president of Liquor Professional Committee of China Food Industry Association, defended Maotai, saying that even if the result of DHP test value of 3.3 is converted into tolerance of 50 micrograms per kilogram of body weight per day according to relevant EU standards, everyone who drinks two kilograms of Moutai every day still meets the human tolerance limit given by EU food safety standards. But the question is, why do chemicals that should not appear in food appear in brewing liquor? However, according to a report published yesterday by Time Weekly, a news weekly in Guangzhou, the use of plasticizers is very common in China liquor, especially in blended liquor, which is the mainstream in the market at present. After the plasticizer incident was exposed, although major liquor manufacturers declared that plasticizers were produced because the conveying pipes and wine containers were plastic products during brewing and transportation, they said that they had been completely rectified. Maotai also told the media before that the use of plastic products has been basically eliminated in the production process. According to this report, plasticizers are basically produced in all brewing industries in China. Although most liquors in China contain plasticizers, the main reason is blending. In the mid-1950s, in order to save food and promote the development of brewing industry, blended liquor with new technology was pushed to the front. This is the beginning of China liquor blending. At present, Sichuan and Guizhou are the main export provinces of liquor in China market. In addition, the so-called famous wines of any brand are basically blended with the "original wines" of the above two provinces. In the process of blending liquor (including many so-called "famous brands"), in addition to "Qu" (original liquor), a magical "food additive" was used. If this "food additive" is not used, the taste of the produced liquor will be much worse. A large number of liquor production enterprises use this kind of "food additive" without exception, which leads to the serious exceeding of the standard of liquor plasticizer. According to our investigation, this blending additive can be bought in the market. The main function of blending liquor is to prevent liquid stratification by using a large number of plasticizers and adding them. As we all know, alcohol is dissolved in pure water, but edible alcohol is not pure alcohol, so many additives such as essence must be added in the blending process. Therefore, if no plasticizer is added to the blended wine, the upper part will taste like water, and the lower part will be like alcohol and essence for a long time. In addition, plasticizers can also increase the sense of heaviness, which is often said in the liquor industry. In addition, many manufacturers promote their high-grade liquor as so-called vintage liquor, because the longer the vintage, the higher the price. The key point is that many wineries don't have so many wine cellars at all, and the only basis for consumers to judge the length of a year is color and viscosity. This provides an opportunity for manufacturers to increase the viscosity of wine through plasticizers. The longer the year is marked, the more it is added. Plasticizer is the traditional name of plastic industry. In the plastic industry, these esters help to improve the physical and chemical properties of plastics, such as toughness, so new plastic products often smell very strong and special. Thaung Myint, a professor at the School of Chemical Engineering of Sichuan University, told this reporter that modern people pursue pleasure, and the original mellow flavor of liquor can no longer satisfy people's pursuit of infinite fragrance, and most organic chemical reactions are extremely slow. The ancients in China did not know the relationship between cellar and aroma, and attributed the origin of aroma to cellar to make it fragrant. They don't know that impurities in brewing liquor, such as organic acids, combine with alcohol to form esters. The so-called cellar fragrance is ester fragrance, so liquor is divided into cellar fragrance and strong fragrance. Thaung Myint said that today's liquor manufacturers know chemistry very well, and they no longer use "cellar storage" to enhance the flavor. In order to get the biggest economic return, the fastest and most economical way is: alcohol or original wine+water+ester. This "ester" is actually a plasticizer. In some places, "ester" has been given a better name-aging agent. Thaung Myint also said that the so-called "10-year aging" and "5-year aging" are basically blended with edible alcohol+water+ester, except that a few manufacturers have a large number of wine cellars to store wine. The earliest "vintage wine" in China is Kweichow Moutai, the leader of liquor industry. Maotai Company successively introduced 15, 30 and 50 years, and later added "vintage wine" for 80 years. After Maotai introduced the so-called "vintage wine", liquor listed companies followed suit and introduced various dazzling "vintage wines" one after another. According to the newspaper, vintage wine is purely a gimmick, because it is obvious from the production process that only Maotai could store wine decades ago, and the exact quantity is unknown. However, 30 years ago, in the early 1980s, the output of Moutai was only 200 tons. Where other brands of vintage wines come from is self-evident. Where did so many vintage wines come from? Many brands of vintage wines, if true, have added a few drops. It is true that the wine 30 years ago was stored in the cellar, just a few drops. Unrealistic, that is, the finished product just coming out of the packaging workshop is packed in a beautiful gift box, which is no different from ordinary wine at ordinary times, but as long as the word "year" is added, the value will be tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands immediately. Ma Xiong, a Maotai designer and senior craft designer, said that the expensive Maotai vintage wine was not listed at all. When it came out of the factory, it was directly taken away from the factory by a prominent department or person. Each bottle of Moutai is at least 50,000 yuan. The longer the age, the higher the price. 300,000-500,000 yuan is normal. Buyers range from Public Offering of Fund to individuals, but most of them are from Public Offering of Fund. As soon as the plasticizer of alcoholic liquor exceeded the standard, the hidden rules of the industry were exposed. The newspaper asserted that plasticizer was a melamine incident in China liquor industry.
Abandon old ideas
In the past, during drinking, we accumulated some deep-rooted ideas from life. Even after we stop drinking, they can't disappear like magic.
Although we are far away from the days of leading a drunken life, the disease of alcohol addiction still lingers. Therefore, we find that if we can try to get rid of many old ideas that are budding again, it will help us to recover.
And these old ideas do happen again and again. The goal we strive to achieve is to regain a sense of relaxation and freedom from the shackles of old ideas in the past. Many of our past thoughts and habits.
The concept it forms limits our autonomy.
When we look at it carefully with brand-new eyes, it turns out that they will only crush us and are useless. We don't need to stick to it any longer, unless it is proved to be useful by clear tests and it really works.
We can now use very specific standards to measure the current practicality and authenticity of an idea. We can say to ourselves, "I often think so when I drink." Does this mode of thinking help me stay awake now? Is this kind of thinking good for me today? " Many of our old ideas-especially those about alcohol, drinking, drunkenness and alcohol dependence (or alcoholism, if you agree with this wording)-are either worthless or actually self-destructive, and it will be a great relief to get rid of those ideas.
Perhaps a few examples are enough to illustrate the benefits of abandoning these old and useless ideas. When we are teenagers, for many people, drinking is an oath, indicating that we are no longer children, or that we have grown up. We are smart, mature, experienced or strong enough to disobey our parents and other authorities.
In many people's minds, drinking is always inseparable from romance, sex, music, success, superiority and luxury. If the school teaches anything about drinking, it's usually just the danger to health and the possibility of losing your driver's license-not much else.
At the same time, many people are still quite convinced that any drinking behavior is completely immoral and directly leads to crime, pain, humiliation and death. No matter what we used to feel about drinking, positive or negative, it is usually strong, emotional and far more than rational. Maybe our attitude towards drinking is just an unconscious and unthinking acceptance of other people's opinions.
For many people, drinking is a necessary and harmless part of social occasions, and it is a pleasant leisure activity between friends at a certain time and place.
Others may think that drinking is necessary for eating. But now we ask ourselves: If we don't drink, can't we actually enjoy friendship or food? It's the way we drink
Help improve your social relations? Can this improve our ability to enjoy food? Whether for or against the idea of getting drunk, the resulting reaction is even more extreme. A heavy drinker may be regarded as just having fun or just losing face.
For various reasons, the idea of getting drunk often makes many people feel disgusted. But for some of us, this is a state of longing. Getting drunk is not only to meet other people's expectations, but we also like this feeling. But at the same time, there is another influencing factor, which is the public's neglect of social celebrities.
Some people can't tolerate people who have never been drunk, and some people look down on people who are too drunk. As far as the conclusions found in health care today are concerned, the impact of changing these attitudes is still quite limited. When we first hear the word "alcoholic", most of us associate it with people who are old, ragged, shivering or begging, or people who get drunk in slums.
Anyone who has a full understanding of this problem now knows that this is all nonsense. However, despite this, when we first tried to stay awake, the vague concepts left over from our past still bothered us.
It blinds our eyes and makes it difficult for us to perceive the truth. But in the end, we finally become willing to accept that changing our past ideas-only possible-may be a bit wrong, or at least it can't fully reflect our personal experience. When we can convince ourselves to look at the past experience honestly and listen to other ideas different from ourselves carefully, we can face a long list of information that has not been examined in detail in the past with an open mind.
For example, we can look at the narrative of science majors: alcohol is not only a delicious drink to quench thirst, but also a drug that can change ideology. We know that drugs exist not only in drinks, but also in food and various drugs. And now almost every day, I can read or hear the multiple harms caused by some specific drugs to the human body.
Harm (including heart, blood vessels, stomach, lungs, mouth, brain, etc.). This is a situation that we have never doubted before. Pharmacologists and other addiction treatment experts now believe that alcohol, whether used as a drink, stimulant, sedative, tonic or sedative, can not be completely regarded as safe. But in each case, it may not directly lead to physical injury or mental fatigue.
Obviously, most people can use it gracefully, without causing harm to themselves or others. We found that drinking can be regarded as taking medicine in medicine, and getting drunk is like taking too much medicine. Drug abuse can directly or indirectly lead to various health, mental, family, social, economic and work problems.
We can start to see the consequences of alcohol for some people, instead of most people just thinking about what drinking brings us. We also found that anyone who has a drinking problem may be in what we call a "drinking" state.
The target of this disease is regardless of age, belief, race, sex, intelligence, background, mood, health, occupation, family status, physical fitness, eating habits, social or economic status or other general personality. The question is not how much or how you drink, when and why you drink, but how drinking affects your life-what happens when you drink.
Before we realize that we have this disease, we must first walk out of an old and boring misunderstanding: it is shameful and cowardly to admit that we can't control our drinking capacity (if we ever control it).
Weak? In fact, we need considerable courage to face up to this cruel reality. There is no reservation, no cover-up, no excuse, and we don't have to deceive ourselves. Although it doesn't seem like boasting, frankly speaking, many of us fantasize about being world champions. In the process of recovering from alcohol addiction, we will also be covered by some wrong ideas. Just like millions of other people, seeing a person die because of drinking with their own eyes, they will be very surprised why this alcoholic can't stop drinking with his own willpower.
This is another outdated concept, and we will always remember this concept, mainly because many of us have been exposed to some typical cases of super willpower in our early years, perhaps because our family or neighborhood has had legends. After years of bohemian life, he became notorious, but suddenly he changed his lifestyle and gave up alcohol and women. At the age of 50, he turned over a new leaf and became a model of decent behavior and honesty.
This naive idea that we can follow suit when we are ready is a dangerous illusion. We are not anyone else. We are just ourselves (we are not grandfathers who drink a big bottle every day and live to be 90 years old). ) Now we are very sure that overcoming the problem of alcohol addiction by our own willpower is as effective as treating cancer. We have repeatedly confirmed this from our own experience.
Most of us try to solve it alone, whether we want to control our drinking or give up drinking, but no matter how hard we try, we can't achieve lasting success. Even so, it is not easy for us to frankly admit that we need help. Because this seems to be a sign of cowardice.
Yes, we are deeply lost in another. But in the end, we ask ourselves: if we can gain and use more powerful power, will we be wiser than working in vain alone, especially after we have repeatedly proved that it doesn't work? If you press the switch, you can turn on the light. We think it unwise to continue trying to grope in the dark. We can't be fully awake ourselves. This is not the way we learned to stay awake.
At the same time, fully enjoying a sober life is not a job that one can complete alone. As long as we can consider a few ideas different from the old ideas, even temporarily, we have made the right decision and entered a happy and healthy new life.
Originally, we were convinced that this would never happen, but now this change is happening among our thousands of members.
