      Excessive drinking is harmful to the body, and excessive abstinence from alcohol can also be harmful to the body. The latest research by German medical experts shows that excessive alcohol withdrawal may lead to heart disease. Long-term alcohol abuse can cause direct damage to the myocardium and plant nerve System disorders lead to slowed heart rate, decreased blood pressure, etc.

      If you quit drinking too hard, the inhibitory effect of alcohol on the autonomic nervous system will suddenly stop, weaken or disappear. At this time, people who quit drinking will face "withdrawal syndrome" just like people who quit smoking and drug addiction.

      That is, the autonomic nervous system needs to be rebalanced, and the suppressed sympathetic nerves will suddenly become active, causing stress reactions such as accelerated heartbeat, arrhythmia, and increased blood pressure. In severe cases, especially those with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases disease people will die from heart disease.

      In addition, for people who have been alcoholics for a long time, quitting alcohol cannot repair the damaged autonomic nervous system. Especially for people with high blood pressure, strokes, myocardial infarction, etc. that may be caused by drinking alcohol cannot be recovered by quitting alcohol. Therefore, whether you are a long-term drinker or a person who drinks intermittently, you should not quit drinking too hard, but should gradually reduce the amount and proceed step by step.
