Introduction
The alcohol in beer may damage the gastric mucosa, and long-term heavy consumption may lead to gastric diseases such as acute gastritis, gastric erosion and bleeding, or cause lipid metabolism disorders, resulting in obesity, which could further trigger metabolic disorders such as hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia. Any alcohol consumption should be based on an understanding of its risks and follow the principle of moderation.
Generally speaking, drinking one bottle of beer per day may be harmful to the body, and it is usually not recommended to consume one bottle of beer daily. The detailed explanation is as follows:
The alcohol in beer may damage the gastric mucosa, and long-term heavy consumption can lead to gastrointestinal diseases such as acute gastritis, gastric erosion and bleeding, or lipid metabolism disorders, which may result in obesity and subsequently trigger metabolic diseases such as hyperlipidemia and hyperuricemia. Additionally, drinking on an empty stomach may cause a burning pain in the stomach, and even symptoms such as vomiting, hematemesis (vomiting blood), and melena (black tarry stools). Therefore, it is not recommended to drink one bottle of beer per day.
For individuals with liver disease, hypertension, diabetes, or those currently taking medications that may interact with alcohol, drinking one bottle of beer daily over a long period may worsen their conditions and could even lead to alcohol dependence, liver dysfunction, pancreatitis, and mental health problems.
It is very important to develop good daily living habits and dietary habits in order to maintain overall health.
