Narcologist dispels popular myth about drinking alcohol in winter
Alcohol is a product that should be completely abandoned. The fact is that there is no healthy or safe dose of alcohol, even a minimal amount of it causes serious harm to the body.
If you drink for a long time during the New Year holidays, it can lead to negative consequences.
Narcologist Valentin Skryabin spoke about this in more detail, writes Lenta.ru .
He stated that alcohol is a toxic product that has a detrimental effect on internal organs, increasing the risk of serious illnesses. Appearance also suffers. As a result, a person looks bad, swelling appears, the skin ceases to be elastic, but becomes dry and puffy.
As for the myth that alcohol can be drunk in winter to warm up, Scriabin dispelled it.
He explained that the whole point is that drinking alcohol lowers body temperature regardless of the outside air temperature due to the dilation of blood vessels.
The body receives only new stress, tries to neutralize the short-term sensation of heat, and also increases sweating.
As a result, a person's temperature becomes lower.
This is where the numerous cases of drunk people dying on the street and frostbite come from.
