Is it okay to drink too much alcohol?

In the eyes of some people, drinking too much does not cause harm to the body, but don’t forget, what is alcohol, it is a carcinogen, when it comes to cancer It is necessary to talk about the “dose” issue. Even if you drink not much, alcohol will cause damage to liver cells, and this damage will accumulate. After accumulating to a certain extent, it may induce liver cancer.

Also, alcohol can also make you addicted, you feel “not too much”, is it really not too much? According to the “Chinese Dietary Guidelines”, drink no more than 1 tael of liquor and 1 bottle of beer per day. Drinking is over the limit.

Eating barbecue, nibbling lobster and drinking a whole bottle of beer, I didn’t feel anything at all, and I drank four or five after a while. bottle, and you still feel like you’re not drunk or overdose.

Why do many people live to ninety-nine after drinking for a long time?

In the cases of many long-lived elderly people, we will find that these elderly people usually have the habit of drinking alcohol, but their mental state is very good and they do not have cancer , This makes many people have the illusion that they can also live longer and can learn from the elderly, but they have overlooked two things.

First of all, there are indeed centenarians, but not many. Taking Shanghai as an example, as of the end of September 2021, there are a total of 3418centenarians, how many people are there in Shanghai? The resident population is about 24.87 million, which means that there are not many centenarians.

The average life expectancy of the Chinese is 76 yearsLeft and right, in other words, we should look at the average level, not the individual excellent level, and don’t always console yourself with a few cases and give yourself reasons to keep drinking.

Second, your genes may not be the same as those of centenarians. Most of the centenarians’ siblings and parents are also very long-lived, which means that there are longevity genes in the family. They have more options and opportunities in the face of bad habits.

And we are just ordinary people. If there is no such gene, it is better to change bad habits and maintain a healthy life. Furthermore, even if the gene is good enough, but if you don’t maintain it and drink hard every day, you may not be able to last for ninety-nine.
