Drinking beer during menstruation can be harmful. If the beer is cold, it may contribute to "cold uterus" and lead to menstrual cramps. Additionally, alcohol in beverages promotes blood circulation and helps resolve blood stasis; under these circumstances, consuming more beer during menstruation may increase menstrual flow and prolong the period. Most of the time, having a drink occasionally generally does not have significant effects on the body. However, it's best to avoid excessive alcohol consumption during menstruation. Stay warm and ensure adequate rest during your period.
