Patients with gastrointestinal disorders, such as gastritis, peptic ulcers, or colitis; and those with liver disease—whether acute or chronic—have impaired hepatic function, which prevents the liver from efficiently performing its detoxification and other vital functions. As a result, they are more susceptible to alcohol intoxication, and alcohol can directly damage hepatocytes. Individuals with cardiovascular or cerebrovascular diseases, as well as pregnant women, should also avoid drinking beer. Notably, infants and young children, the elderly, people with weakened constitutions, and certain patients with spleen‑stomach deficiency‑cold should likewise refrain from consuming beer.
1. Beer should not be consumed in excess;
2. Patients with digestive system disorders should avoid drinking beer;
3. Do not take medication with beer;
4. It is not advisable to consume pickled or smoked foods at the same time; nor should it be consumed with strong alcoholic beverages.
5. It is not advisable to drink beer after heavy sweating;
6. Do not store draft beer in a thermos bottle.
7. It is not advisable to drink beer that has been stored for an extended period.
8. It is not advisable to drink chilled beer.
The recommended daily intake of beer is generally no more than 1.2 liters. Excessive consumption can impair cellular function and lead to ethanol poisoning. Individuals with conditions such as gastritis, liver disease, gout, diabetes, heart disease, urinary stones, or peptic ulcers—as well as those who are obese or pregnant—should avoid alcohol altogether. Moreover, frequent, heavy beer drinking can result in obesity (commonly referred to as a “beer belly”), damage the gastrointestinal mucosa and liver, significantly affect fertility, and even increase the risk of cancer.
Benefits
Beer is brewed from malt, rice, hops, brewer’s yeast, and brewing water. Its main characteristics include a low alcohol content and a rich profile of nutrients such as sugars, vitamins, amino acids, potassium, calcium, and magnesium. Consumed in moderation, it can offer certain health benefits. [3]
Beer has a high water content, making it effective for quenching thirst; at the same time, its organic acids impart a refreshing, invigorating effect. On one hand, it can help reduce excessive excitement and tension while promoting muscle relaxation; on the other, it stimulates the nervous system and aids digestion. Moreover, the low levels of sodium, alcohol, and nucleic acids in beer enhance cerebral blood flow, dilate the coronary arteries, and—through increased renal perfusion—accelerate metabolism. In addition, beer may offer health‑promoting benefits. According to studies conducted at a medical center in California, moderate beer consumption is associated with a lower risk of heart disease and peptic ulcers compared with abstainers and heavy drinkers, and it may also help prevent hypertension and other conditions.
Contains carbon dioxide, providing a refreshing and pleasant sensation when consumed, and helping to stimulate appetite.
Hops contain tannins, vitamins, hop oil, and bitter compounds, and possess medicinal properties such as cardiotonic, stomachic, diuretic, and analgesic effects. They also offer beneficial adjunctive therapy for conditions including hypertension, heart disease, and tuberculosis.
Moderate beer consumption may also confer certain health benefits for individuals with heart conditions and hypertension.
Beer is a refreshing beverage that helps beat the heat, cool down, quench thirst, and reduce sweating during summer and autumn. According to research by medical and beverage experts, beer contains 4% alcohol and can promote blood circulation.
Harm
Because beer has a relatively low alcohol content, excessive consumption can lead to a significant increase in total alcohol intake, placing additional strain on the liver and directly damaging hepatic tissue, while also increasing the burden on the kidneys and weakening cardiac muscle function. Over time, this may result in heart failure, arrhythmias, and other complications. Studies have shown that drinking beer in excess not only fails to prevent hypertension or heart disease but may instead promote the onset and progression of conditions such as arterial atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, and fatty liver. Consuming large amounts of beer can irritate the gastric mucosa, leading to gastritis and peptic ulcers, with symptoms including upper abdominal discomfort, loss of appetite, bloating, belching, and acid reflux. Many people enjoy chilled beer in summer, which lowers gastrointestinal temperature and causes capillary constriction, thereby impairing digestive function. [4] Since beer is relatively low in calories, the claim that “drinking beer easily leads to a beer belly” remains controversial.
Relevant data also indicate that for patients with atrophic gastritis, urinary tract stones, and other conditions, excessive beer consumption may trigger a relapse of their underlying illness or exacerbate their symptoms.
This is because the wort used in brewing beer contains calcium, oxalic acid, uric acid, and purine nucleotides, which interact to more than double the level of uric acid in the body. This not only promotes the formation of gallstones and kidney stones but can also trigger gout. For those with gout, consuming a diet low in purines may help prevent recurrence. Furthermore, Australian experts have found that individuals who drink more than 5 liters of beer per day are at the highest risk of developing rectal cancer.
