Alcohol, generally composed of water + alcohol (different alcohol, different alcohol proportion), can be absorbed without digestion in the digestive tract, and they can enter the blood rapidly.
When the alcohol in the blood reaches the brain, it can suppress the activities of some brain centers. These centers usually control your emotions like tranquilizers.
Alcohol can also affect the hippocampus of the brain, which is the part of the brain that transforms memory. Once this part is dried out, there will be the phenomenon of drinking fragments that we often say in our lives.
10% of the alcohol entering the human body will be discharged through breathing, urine and sweat. The traffic police will measure the alcohol content through breath, which is the reason.
The remaining 90% alcohol enters the liver, and alcohol will complete two transformations in the liver, namely, alcohol (ethanol) & rarr; acetaldehyde & rarr; acetic acid.
The experience of alcohol can be seen as a youth play with prodigal children turning back:
1. Alcohol, a rebellious teenager
He's slightly toxic, and the alcohol that enters the brain stays in the brain for half a month or even a month.
2. Ethanol turns into acetaldehyde, a villain
Acetaldehyde is harmful to health. First, it damages liver cells. Long term drinking can cause fatty liver and alcoholic hepatitis;
Secondly, it stimulates brain nerves;
Third, he is harmful to the pancreas, heart and brain vessels.
3. In the end, acetaldehyde will turn into acetic acid -- prodigal!
Acetic acid is the only substance with nutritional value. It provides heat for human body, and finally becomes carbon dioxide and water to be discharged from the body.
At this point, you may have to ask acetaldehyde experience? Why is it suddenly better?
Because he met her, aldehyde dehydrogenase.
Chemical reaction formula of alcohol blush
Many people lack this enzyme and blush as soon as they drink alcohol, which is caused by acetaldehyde expanding the capillaries. Acetaldehyde can't be changed into acetic acid, so it can only hurt each other.
Some students said that the lack of this enzyme, you can play to develop ah! Drink a little, and one day raise it!
But Xiaobian can only regret to tell you that this life is over!
The absence of this enzyme is a genetic problem, and one-third of Asians blush when they drink alcohol.
If you are one of them, from today on, be careful to drink less!
