A New Year’s feast almost always becomes a difficult test for the body, and in combination with alcohol it can cause serious harm to health. Some holiday treats can be deadly, experts warn.
Marat Saraev, candidate of medical sciences, narcologist, told Moskva 24 that some alcoholic combinations are considered extremely undesirable for consumption. First of all, he warned against drinking strong alcohol after champagne or sparkling wine. The expert explained that the gas enhances the effect of strong alcohol, resulting in a strong blow to the pancreas.
“If the pancreas suffers, the whole body begins to malfunction,” the doctor said.
He also spoke out against mixing strong alcohol and beer, in which, in addition to the pancreas, the mucous membranes of the stomach and duodenum also suffer: “There is a permanent burn of the mucous membrane.”
Restrictions that are worth paying attention to also apply to a number of popular cocktails, for example, Cuba Libre, which contains rum and cola. Soda contains a large amount of sugar and caffeine, whose effects on the body only increase the “bubbles”. People older than middle age who have problems with blood sugar levels suffer more from such a drink, the doctor points out. He also stressed that a considerable number of people do not even suspect that they have diabetes.
“It can come to a coma,” the expert warned. “A person’s pancreas stops working and he dies.”
Dangerous cocktails like “Long Island”, which combine strong alcohol and sweet juice, also added the doctor. According to him, in such cases, in addition to the pancreas, the load on the heart, blood vessels and kidneys increases, which is unsafe for people with chronic diseases of these organs.
