Why is it not recommended to drink Yangmei wine

Yangmei wine is usually not recommended for long-term or excessive consumption, mainly due to factors such as alcohol hazards, high sugar content, gastrointestinal irritation, drug interactions, and risks for special populations.

1. Alcohol hazards

Yangmei wine contains alcohol, and long-term consumption may damage liver function and increase the risk of fatty liver or cirrhosis. Alcohol can also affect the nervous system, leading to memory loss or sleep disorders. Excessive intake may cause alcohol poisoning, resulting in symptoms such as dizziness and vomiting.

2. High sugar content

Red bayberry wine often adds a lot of sugar during the production process. Long term drinking may lead to blood sugar fluctuations and increase the risk of obesity or diabetes. A high sugar environment can also promote the growth of oral bacteria, which can easily lead to dental caries or gum problems.

3. Gastrointestinal irritation

Alcohol and organic acids in Yangmei may stimulate the gastric mucosa, inducing discomfort symptoms such as stomach pain and acid reflux. When consumed on an empty stomach, the stimulation is more pronounced and may worsen the condition of patients with gastritis or gastric ulcers.

4. Drug Interactions

The alcohol in Yangmei wine may react with antibiotics, hypoglycemic drugs, etc., affecting the efficacy or increasing side effects. Drinking alcohol while taking cephalosporin drugs may cause disulfiram like reactions, leading to dangerous symptoms such as palpitations and difficulty breathing.

5. Risks for special populations

Pregnant women drinking alcohol may affect fetal development, and children and adolescents drinking alcohol can hinder the growth of the nervous system. Chronic disease patients may worsen their existing diseases after drinking alcohol, and drivers who drink alcohol may increase the risk of traffic accidents. If you occasionally drink Yangmei wine, it is recommended to choose low sugar and low alcohol products and control the amount of consumption to avoid drinking on an empty stomach. If discomfort occurs after drinking, stop immediately and seek medical attention. Daily nutrition can be obtained by eating fresh yangmei or drinking yangmei juice, reducing alcohol intake. Chronic disease patients, medication users, and special populations should completely avoid drinking alcohol, maintain a balanced diet, and follow a regular schedule, which is more conducive to health.
