How to improve the amount of alcohol

At leisure, close friends to drink a few glasses is not only good for health, but also to deepen friendship; but more drinking occasions are in the crowded celebration, wedding wine, or simply can not take into account the personal wishes of the dinner table.

Can you practice drinking

Drinking is often the case is that the drinkers have a little bit of true feelings, toast to you and me, do not give way to each other, fearing that the next person thought their own capacity to drink than down; to compete, it is even more extraordinary, can not be filled with each other "five bodies". Drinking at the table because of the feelings, drink orders that is too normal thing, after all, with the real ability, so some people began to secretly practice, but the amount of alcohol can really practice out?

How alcohol is metabolized in the human body

Alcohol is absorbed into the body mainly by the stomach, duodenum and jejunum, and the higher the concentration of alcohol, the faster it is absorbed, especially when drinking on an empty stomach. After being absorbed into the blood, about one tenth of the alcohol is excreted in the form of alcohol through the respiratory tract, sweat and urine, which is expressed as "a smell of alcohol", and the remaining nine tenths are metabolized by the liver. The main method of metabolism in the liver is to produce ethanol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, which first turn ethanol into previous, and then acetaldehyde into acetic acid, which is oxidized to produce a lot of heat and carbon dioxide and water, and the metabolic process of alcohol is all done.

Why some people drink better

People who drink well have a large amount of active ethanol dehydrogenase and acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in their bodies. Most people who are not good drinkers lack acetaldehyde dehydrogenase in their bodies. Drinking too much alcohol will cause a large amount of acetaldehyde to accumulate in the body, and acetaldehyde will cause capillary dilation, which will manifest as blushing. Excessive acetaldehyde left in the body for a long time will cause cancer in the throat, esophagus and liver. Therefore, the amount of alcohol or not is entirely determined by genes, and the effort to drink practice later in life can not be spelled out by people who are born with a good amount of alcohol. Then why do I think I get drunk once, the amount of alcohol will go up a notch?

High risk of drinking with bravado

Drinkers who lack acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, an enzyme that metabolizes alcohol, often drink excessively to enhance the tolerance of acetaldehyde in their body cells, which shows an increase in the amount of alcohol, but in fact, the acetaldehyde in the body is not metabolized, but accumulates more and more in the body. The chance of esophageal cancer is more than ten times higher than that of non-drinkers or drinkers with high acetaldehyde metabolizing enzyme activity, and the liver and stomach are also more prone to cancerous changes. Are you willing to take the risk of getting cancer to increase the amount of alcohol? In short, if you have the symptoms of blushing or drinking easily because of genetic defects, you should not blindly increase the amount of alcohol, after all, your body is the capital of the revolution.
