What kind of alcohol is the best for men to drink?

Rice wine is the best for replenishing energy

It is said that drinking alcohol hurts the stomach, but rice wine can nourish the stomach. The alcohol content of rice wine brewed from glutinous rice is generally no more than 10 degrees, which can stimulate the secretion of digestive juices and increase appetite. In addition, glutinous rice has the functions of nourishing the stomach, replenishing qi, and aiding digestion. After brewing into wine, its nutritional components are more conducive to digestion and absorption, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, pregnant women, people with poor stomachs and weak people. Japanese sake is similar to Chinese rice wine.

Liquor is the most harmful

Baijiu is the most well-known liquor to Chinese people. The raw materials for making baijiu are mainly sorghum, wheat and corn.

Traditional Chinese medicine believes that liquor can warm the blood and unclog the meridians, dispel wind and dissipate cold, and is suitable for people with stroke, arthritis, and numbness of hands and feet. Drinking a small amount of liquor at the beginning of a cold can prevent a cold.

From the perspective of modern nutrition, apart from its high alcohol content and ability to provide energy, liquor has no nutritional value. Drinking a small amount of alcohol can lower blood pressure, but high-proof liquor will raise blood pressure; all alcohol is absorbed in the stomach, and the higher the alcohol content of the liquor, the greater the irritation and damage to the stomach; 90% of alcohol is metabolized in the liver, and alcohol can also cause damage to the liver. Excessive drinking can cause elevated transaminase, fatty liver, alcoholic hepatitis, alcoholic cirrhosis, etc. In addition, long-term drinking can cause chronic damage to the heart and vascular system.
