Even minimal amounts of alcohol are harmful to human health.

The body becomes weaker, and for women, drinking alcohol is especially dangerous because it calls into question the possibility of conceiving and carrying a child.

Psychiatrist Anton Masyakin spoke about this, writes Lenta.ru .

In addition, the doctor also noted that the negative consequences of alcohol poisoning of the mother or father during conception can affect the baby. There may be mental and physiological pathologies.

Masyakin added that in a situation where a woman often overdoes it with alcohol, the toxins accumulated in the body can lead to miscarriage or frozen fetus.
