It's hot, can drinking beer cool off the heat?

A: Beer can't relieve summer heat.

When people just drink beer (especially cold beer), they do have a cool feeling. But drinking too much will still make people feel thirsty and warm all over. Because beer must contain alcohol, although the alcohol content of beer is low, if you drink too much at a time, the alcohol content entering the human body is similar to that of drinking white wine. It's different from winter. The summer climate is hot, the human body sweats more, consumes more, and is prone to fatigue. If you keep drinking beer, the feeling of "warmth" brought by alcohol will continue, and the phenomenon of thirst and sweating will be more intense. This will not only fail to achieve the purpose of relieving summer heat, but will reduce people's thinking ability and work efficiency, and even cause mistakes and accidents in their work. Therefore, the "wine" in "drivers can't drive after drinking" includes both white wine and beer.

About the influence of beer on people's physiological and mental state, some people abroad have done special research experiments. The researchers selected eight healthy young people as experimental subjects and asked them to drink two bottles of beer with the same concentration on an empty stomach. Then, check their physical function and mental state every 30 minutes. Results The reaction was similar to drinking 100 ml of liquor. The subjects' heartbeat suddenly increased, pulse frequency increased by 88%, arm reaction decreased by 38%, static standing ability decreased by 26%, coordination decreased by 14%, and thinking ability decreased by 5%. It can be seen that beer, like white wine, will obviously reduce the various reflexes of the body. In addition, drinking a lot of beer in summer will have adverse effects on human stomach, heart, liver and kidney, and easily lead to chronic gastritis, toxic hepatitis, myocardial hypertrophy, urinary calculi, gouty arthritis and other diseases. Therefore, if you want to quench your thirst, it is better to eat some cool fruits such as watermelon and drink some cool drinks, such as tea and mung bean soup.
