Gastroenterologist Tatyana Zamozhnaya: a safe level of alcohol is a relative concept, it can be harmful in any quantity.
Doctor Zamozhnaya spoke about this that alcohol, being a toxin, is capable of producing a destructive effect on the cells of the body in any dosage – this depends on the sensitivity of the body, which is determined by purely individual characteristics. Therefore, when it comes to certain safe amounts of alcohol, it is important to understand: such safety is relative. Any glass drunk can be the dose that triggers the development of processes in the body leading to dangerous and even fatal pathologies.
Doctor Zamozhnaya emphasized that three to four days a week should be absolutely sober.
>The doctor also named a relatively safe alcohol limit for men and women.
“For men, the accepted norm per day is 500 ml of beer, or you can drink 200 ml of wine, or 60 ml of vodka. For women, the norm for beer is 250 ml, wine – 100 ml, vodka – 30 ml,” the expert shared with ferra.ru.
The MedikForum.ru portal previously wrote that when drinking beer, the body can receive significantly more calories than when eating confectionery products.
