2. Disadvantages of drinking beer:

1. Induces gastrointestinal diseases: If you drink beer heavily in a short period of time, it will dilute the gastric juice and destroy the acidic environment of the gastrointestinal tract. This will make the gastrointestinal tract susceptible to pathogenic bacteria and cause intestinal infectious diseases such as bacillary dysentery and acute gastroenteritis. At the same time, since beer is usually drunk with ice, this will also cause the temperature of the gastrointestinal tract to drop suddenly, causing cramping abdominal pain and diarrhea, and may even cause gastric bleeding.

2. Increases the risk of alcoholic liver disease: Although beer has a low alcoholic content, it produces a large amount of heat and most of the nutrients it contains can be absorbed by the body. In addition, it needs to be metabolized by the liver. If you drink large amounts for a long time, it will also damage the liver and lead to alcoholic liver disease.

3． Induces stones: Beer is brewed with barley malt juice, so it contains calcium, oxalic acid and a large amount of purine. If you drink a lot of it, it will increase uric acid and promote the occurrence of stones.

4. Increased risk of cardiovascular disease: Heavy drinking can easily lead to a short-term increase in blood volume, which will increase the burden on the heart and blood vessels, and can also damage cardiovascular, kidney, liver, lung and other organs, resulting in dizziness, rapid heartbeat, etc. In severe cases, it can lead to cardiovascular disease.

5. Aggravating the side effects of drugs: Generally speaking, it is not suitable to drink alcohol while taking medication, which also includes beer, especially anti-epileptic drugs, hypoglycemic drugs, antidepressants, sedatives, antibiotics, nitrates, hemostatic drugs, and antihypertensive drugs , anti-tuberculosis drugs, anti-allergy drugs, etc., if you drink alcohol while taking the medicine, the side effects will be aggravated.
