Some alcoholic drinks can be fatal.
Russian physician Zarema Ten warned about this.
The expert named the most dangerous types of alcohol in a conversation with the online publication Podmoskovie Segodnya .
What alcohol is the most dangerous
The first place in the anti-rating goes to moonshine and illegal distillates.
If the distillation technology is violated, methanol is formed, 10 milliliters of which can cause blindness, 30 milliliters – death.
Methanol blocks cellular respiration, leading to metabolic acidosis, seizures and coma, Ten said.
Drinks with ultra-high ethanol content (70-96%) also cause serious harm to the body.
This type of alcohol can also cause a coma and also increases the risk of developing stomach cancer.
In addition, it is extremely dangerous to consume alcoholic energy drinks.
They mask intoxication and cause hypertension, tachycardia and arrhythmia.
Caffeine increases the neurotoxicity of ethanol, accelerating the death of brain cells, the doctor explained.
