Some people are used to thinking that such an alcoholic drink has some useful properties. For example, that it can protect the body from microbes or is a means of disinfection.

But this is not so.

Narcologist Valentin Skryabin spoke about this in more detail, RIA Novosti writes.

The specialist reminded that the concentration in vodka is 40 degrees, and 60 degrees are needed to destroy viruses.

It is for this reason that you should not use alcohol as a disinfectant, since it does not protect the body in any way.

It is also a myth that 100 grams of vodka during a meal is healthy.

Skryabin added that any alcohol has a negative impact on the immune system, is poisonous to the body, leads to overeating and weight problems, and also deprives one of a sense of control.

The higher the dose, the higher and longer the negative effect on internal organs.
