Whether drinking one or two Baijiu at night is beneficial to health has been controversial. Take drinking 20 liang of 40 degree Baijiu every day as an example, the amount of alcohol consumed is about 32g. A study published in The Lancet suggests that drinking 20 to 60 grams of alcohol per day falls within the dangerous drinking range and is associated with 39.4% of cancer incidence.
Drinking Baijiu for a long time will cause multiple injuries to the body. Alcohol can increase the burden on the liver, increase the risk of fatty liver and alcoholic liver disease. If not intervened in a timely manner, it may develop into cirrhosis or even liver cancer. In addition, alcohol can increase the fat content in the blood, leading to poor blood circulation and easily inducing cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension, coronary heart disease, and stroke.
In 2016, the Journal of the American College of Cardiology published the results of a 12 year survey involving 900000 people, showing that long-term alcohol consumption increases the risk of atrial fibrillation by 8%. Research has shown that there is no safe amount of alcohol consumption, and the optimal amount should be zero.
