As the saying goes,
Drinking is good for you, while drinking too much harms your body
Don’t take it seriously!
Not long ago,
32-year-old Jiangsu man Xiao Li
was diagnosed with excessive alcoholism. Not only did he drink too much
not only caused his body
and even had symptoms of schizophrenia
Finally he was admitted to the psychiatric ward
In the psychiatric ward of a hospital in Huai'an City, the reporter learned that Xiao Li began to get drunk 6 or 7 years ago, drinking about one pound every day. Long-term drinking has caused serious problems in his physical function.
Several months ago, Xiao Li began to talk nonsense and not know his family, and he was unable to take care of himself for a while.
"The patient's behavior is quite disordered, shouting loudly and not letting others get close to him, and sometimes scolding him. Through mental examination, he found that he had a lot of vision and had delusions about being victimized. Moreover, the patient's blood pressure is relatively high, his lungs are infected, and his liver and kidney function is damaged. At the same time, both femoral head is also necrotic." The doctor said.
The family had no choice but to send Xiao Li to psychiatric department for treatment. After a series of careful examinations, Xiao Li was finally diagnosed with "alcohol dependence accompanied by schizophrenia ". Due to the long alcoholism, Xiao Li's body had a serious withdrawal reaction .
For his condition, the doctor formulated a diagnosis and treatment plan for him, and the patient's condition gradually improved.
"After admission, the patient's withdrawal symptoms are relatively serious and life-threatening. The patient's hands and limbs trembled trembled , and at the same time sweated a lot, resulting in electrolyte disordered . In response to these situations, we first maintain the balance of electrolytes, conduct regular replacement treatments, withdrawal treatments, and conduct continuous condition evaluation. After a period of careful treatment, the patient's withdrawal symptoms disappeared and the body's condition improved." The doctor said.
Doctor reminds
Long-term large-scale alcohol consumption will cause chronic alcohol poisoning
In addition to causing serious damage to the human body, liver, digestive system, and cardiovascular system,
,
, will also have serious impact on the nervous central system
, everyone must take it as a warning
3 alcohol , what changes will happen to our body?
Before drinking, look at
↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
100 seconds
Starting from the first sip of wine, a small amount of alcohol penetrates oral epithelial cells into the blood, but most of them will enter the stomach along the esophagus.
5 minutes
About 10%-20% of the alcohol entering the stomach penetrates the gastric mucosa and enters the blood circulation through capillaries. The alcohol absorbed into the blood can appear in blood circulation in about 5 minutes.
6 minutes
Amin Biller of the University of Heidelberg, Germany, found in human experiments that the presence of alcohol can be detected in brain tissue in the 6th minute after drinking.
The alcohol concentration in most tissues of the human body is approximately the same as in the blood, except for liver and brain tissue, which contains 10 times the amount in the blood.
10 minutes
Then the alcohol entering the stomach enters the small intestine through the pylorus. Due to the absorption function of the small intestine itself and its larger surface area, about 80%-90% of the alcohol is absorbed into the blood in the small intestine.
30-60 minutes
At this time, the concentration of alcohol in the blood reaches its highest peak, and alcohol has reached various organs and tissues throughout the body with the blood circulation.
During this period, a large amount of alcohol that enters blood first reaches the liver through portal vein and catabolizes it in the liver, while alcohol beyond metabolic capacity flows into the right heart with the blood.
alcohol constricts and injects into the lungs through the right heart, and about 5% of the alcohol will pass through the respiratory membrane and be excreted out of the body through the respiratory tract. At this time, the alcohol will be transferred from the venous blood channel into the fast lane arterial blood .
As the left heart ejaculates blood into the body circulation, blood carrying alcohol quickly passes through the blood-brain barrier and flows into the brain, affecting the function of the brain and making people unable to control themselves.
At the same time, about 5% of the alcohol flowing through the kidneys is filtered by the kidneys and excreted from the body with the urine.
3 hours
Alcohol that enters the gastrointestinal tract can absorb all the alcohol into the blood in about 3 hours.
12 hours
After about 12 hours, most of the alcohol in the body is metabolized, and the alcohol concentration in the blood will drop significantly.
24 hours
At this time, the alcohol in the ordinary human body is basically completely metabolized and converted into water and carbon dioxide . But some studies have shown that alcohol can still be detected in the blood, breathing and urine of some people.
What harm will
cause to the body?
1, brain dull
As the concentration of alcohol in the blood increases, ethanol metabolizes to acetaldehyde accumulates in the brain, interferes with the activity of neurotransmitters and nerve receptors, and becomes unstable and slow to respond.
2, trigger liver fiber
If a large amount of acetaldehyde accumulates in the body for a long time, it will stimulate liver cells to synthesize collagen fiber , thereby triggering liver fiber. In severe cases, it will evolve from liver fibrosis to cirrhosis , and is life-threatening.
3. Gastrointestinal tract damage
The alcohol and secreted gastric acid that enters the body will stimulate the pancreas to secrete pancreatic juice in large quantities. When the secreted pancreatic juice blocks the catheter, may induce acute pancreatitis .
Alcohol can also stimulate damage to the gastric mucosa, induce gastric acid secretion, produce a burning sensation in the stomach, and in severe cases it may even erode the gastric mucosa, leading to the occurrence of acute gastritis, gastric ulcers, , gastric hemorrhage and other diseases.
Don’t drink with a drink!
