Narcologists talk about the dangers of beer on the body of a man, but the popularity of the drink does not fall from this. The stronger sex uses beer "for football", after work or just when gathering with friends. The fact that the drink is dangerous, changes the hormonal background, negatively affects the liver, heart, stomach, kidneys, intestines, no one thinks.
What does it consist of
The technology for making real beer has long since sunk into oblivion. Previously, the basis of the drink was hops, an annual dioecious plant of the cannabis family. Nowadays, surrogates are often used, chemical substitutes unknown origin. This is especially true of beer, "made on the knee", illegally.
Soft, fluffy buds, which are unfertilized female flowers, are prized in brewing. It is in them that there are all the substances necessary for beer. Abroad, they use granulated hops pressed from different varieties plants.
Hops - beer stabilizer, clarifier, has a calming effect on the body. Gives the drink a fresh aroma.
Ways to hop beer:
- The first.
When brewing with natural malt, hop cones are added at the beginning of the process. Forms bitterness in the drink.
- Second.
The introduction of cones occurs 20-30 minutes before the end technological process must preparation. The result: an exquisite hop flavor.
- Third.
Female inflorescences are added to the main composition 5 minutes before the end of cooking. Thus, a specific unique aroma is formed.
Classical brewing uses all three methods. The exception is exclusive beers or a homemade drink.
Natural "live" beer is useful. But consumption and its every day in large quantities undesirable.
Beer contains: ethanol, yeast, water. It is cooked on the basis of cereals - barley, wheat, corn, rice. exotic varieties contain milk, bananas, fruits, vegetables or herbs. Fermentation occurs at low (4–9 C) or high (15–25 C) temperatures. By color it happens: red, dark, light, mixed.
The average strength of beer is 3-6% alcohol. There are fortified options - up to 14%, light - 1-2% and non-alcoholic.
How does beer affect the male body
The danger is feminization, the development of a male body according to the female type under the influence of phytoestrogens (8-PN), plant analogues of female sex hormones. 1 liter of beer contains 30–36 mg of phytoestrogens, their effect on male body akin to the intake of "pure" hormones. The use of beer hops is fraught with the appearance of a rounded abdomen, loose hips, expansion of the pelvis, and enlargement of the mammary glands. Changing the figure in men is one of the obvious shortcomings that cause the harm of beer.
Potency and reproductive functions
Phytoestrogens lower testosterone levels, a man becomes apathetic, phlegmatic. There is no longer any talk of a macho in bed, the very fact of sexual activity is called into question only when looking at the swollen, loose, fleshy figure of a potential “conqueror”.
Plant hormones with constant intake change the hormonal background of a man. The following changes come from beer:
- a decrease in testosterone production provokes a decrease in the amount of sperm;
- 8-PN (prenilnaringenin) negatively affects potency, erectile dysfunction develops;
- for men, daily libations are dangerous due to the risk of developing obesity;
- the intake of phytoestrogens is harmful, an imbalance is observed at the level of genes, tearfulness, softness appear, the psyche changes.
Even the most exclusive composition of elite beer, when taken daily, is fraught for a man with sexual dysfunction, prostatitis, and rapid ejaculation. With feminization come disruption hormonal background, infertility and impotence. According to statistics, the absence of children in marriage through the fault of a man is 50% of all cases of infertility. Much of this is due to beer alcoholism.
Other organs and systems
Dangerous properties of additives:
- The unfermented extract contains simple carbohydrates that cause obesity. It also contains amides, ammonia compounds, which are toxic substances.
- C4H6CO2 is a substance banned in the United States. Diacetyl in Europe is considered the most harmful component.
- Phytoestrogens (8-PN) cause the development of the male body according to the female type. Obesity, “beer belly” appear, libido decreases.
- CO2 (carbon dioxide) negatively affects the gastrointestinal tract as a whole. Violates digestion, provokes bloating in the intestines and stomach.
- Higher alcohols dehydrate to form alkene carbons. These are carcinogens that gradually poison the body, provoking the development of malignant tumors.
With prolonged exposure to ethyl alcohol, addiction occurs. A daily bottle of beer for a man is the first step to beer alcoholism. As a result of the splitting of C2H5OH, acetic acetaldehyde is formed, it is he who is responsible for the hangover. Fusel oils destroy the liver, kidneys, negatively affect the work of the heart, destroy brain cells and lead to encephalopathy.
Development of beer alcoholism
Gambrinism or addiction to beer at the level of psychophysical dependence - there is no such concept in the ICD, however, beer alcoholism is very well known to both narcologists and family members of a beer alcoholic. The term is not used as a diagnosis, beer abuse is considered as alcohol consumption, but in a form different from strong drinks. For those who every day drink a dose that is many times higher than the norm, the same methods of treatment and prevention are applied.
Danger of beer alcoholism:
- rapid formation of mental dependence (4 times relative to fortified drinks);
- harder to cure due to the fact that men do not perceive beer as alcohol;
- more destructive effect on the body, unlike wine, vodka.
Beer alcoholism develops quickly and imperceptibly. It can be suspected by signs:
- A man drinks more than a liter of beer a day.
- Anger, irritation in the absence of drinking.
- Insomnia, daytime sleepiness.
- Problems with potency, headaches, "beer belly".
An alcoholic, hooked on a foamy drink, reaches for a bottle in the morning. If she is not within walking distance, he becomes irritable, looks for reasons to run to a bar or store. In the last stages of beer alcoholism, strong alcohol is mixed with beer.
When binges pathology is considered as chronic alcoholism, compulsory treatment is required. Dependence is fraught with destruction of internal organs, leads to fatty hepatosis, cirrhosis, obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular pathologies (syndrome beer heart), hepatitis and oncopathology.
How to use without harm
Norms of beer intake per day is a conditional concept, it is about 1 g pure alcohol per 1 kg of weight per week. However safe use is based on old recipes brewing beer, corresponding quality. A real drink contains up to 90% water, proteins, carbon dioxide, carbohydrates, nitrogenous compounds, organic acids, etc. We are not talking about chemically created beer containing preservatives, dyes, acidity regulators, stabilizers and others like them. And, of course, one cannot talk about the dangers and benefits of using a liquid created in garages by an artisanal method and unknown manufacturers.
Real beer can be drunk no more than 0.5 liters per day. The substances contained in it contribute to the fortification of the body, the normalization of stools, enrichment with minerals, and the prevention of osteoporosis.
A safe dose was determined in the Middle Ages by Paracelsus, he "allowed" to drink 2-3 cups a day. But then the quality of beer left no doubt, the chemical industry and artificial ingredients had not yet been born.
Whether beer is useful or not is impossible to answer this question unambiguously. You should drink it remembering that in a teaspoon - good, in a mug - poison. Uncontrolled libations are unequivocally harmful to the body, especially detrimental to adolescents at the time of intensive body growth and personality formation.

Effect on blood vessels
You should also remember about negative impact beer on blood vessels. The carbon dioxide contained in it leads to the fact that the walls blood vessels flabby. As a result, the blood supply to the organs deteriorates. It all starts with the lower extremities and head, due to pathologically strong expansion of blood vessels. In this case, you can soon expect the appearance of varicose veins.
Of course, nothing will happen from one can of beer every couple of months. However, this is the trickiness of beer, since it is low-alcohol and has a pleasant bready taste, and therefore no one takes it in such doses.
For this reason, very often beer addiction leads to beer alcoholism. And this is already a disease that is treated much harder than classic alcoholism, since most people do not understand and admit that they have encountered this problem.
It is necessary to know that the abuse of beer in adolescence has a faster effect of beer on a man's potency. Therefore, in order not to turn into a beer alcoholic, impotent with all the ensuing consequences, it is better not to use this drug at all. low alcohol drink!

It is saturated with vitamins B and PP, which help improve metabolism in the body. The drink is filled with iron, magnesium and potassium, which have positive influence on the body, activating the processes of respiration in cells, increasing potency, improving blood supply to the heart muscle, etc.

The negative impact of beer on the male body
Despite the beneficial properties of this drink, beer still contains alcohol, so there is a fairly large bad influence on the body.
When beer is consumed constantly and in large quantities, the production of the hormone testosterone, which is responsible for the functioning of the reproductive system, stops in men. Over time, this can lead to problems with potency.
Beer contributes to the development of fat deposits in the abdomen and thighs. Since there is alcohol in beer, this is a strong load on the internal organs. The liver may not be able to handle large amounts of this drink, which can lead to cirrhosis. The kidneys are also affected. Frequent drinking of beer can cause chronic disease of these important internal organs.
Experts note that in men who abuse beer, the heart constantly works in a rapid mode, which leads to thinning of the wall and the formation of a layer of fat around the heart.
The quality of the product is not always traceable. Some manufacturers add substances to the composition that contribute to addiction to beer, which can later lead to alcoholism.
The amount of beer that does not harm the body of men
Doctors around the world have conducted a series of studies that were aimed at identifying allowable dose beer for the body. The alcohol content should be no more than 1 gram per 1 kg of body weight. Therefore, for a man weighing 80 kg, it is allowed to drink 2 liters of beer in a short period of time. At the same time, consumption should not be daily, and the body of a man should be relatively healthy.
Beer is a beloved alcoholic drink by many, which contains carbohydrates, nitrogen-containing compounds and ethyl alcohol. The content of beer is rich in vitamin B, amino acids and other trace elements.
Due to the presence of psychotropic and sedative elements, this intoxicating drink has a relaxing effect on the body. Most men consider it quite harmless due to its low alcohol content.
Why do people drink beer?
Many argue that non-alcoholic beer tastes worse. However, studies show that people with their eyes closed cannot distinguish non-alcoholic beer from regular beer.
The influence of beer on the male body can only be characterized by the volumes in which it is consumed. It is difficult to get poisoned with beer or die from an overdose of it, a person simply cannot pour such an amount of liquid into himself.
The insidiousness of this drink lies in the fact that its stable drinking and a significant bust with the amount almost imperceptibly lead to beer alcoholism, which begins with an almost harmless daily bottle of beer.
The mechanism of the effect of beer on the body of a man
Among a large number available alcoholic beverages it is beer that has the most Negative influence on the performance and content of sex hormones that form and control the work of the genital organs, show secondary sexual characteristics, underlie the character and actions of a person.
The male body produces the hormone testosterone. Thanks to its influence, a man has a corresponding figure, great strength, facial hair (chest, back), firm character, and a male voice.
Regular consumption of beer in large quantities is dangerous because the production of estrogen (a female hormone) is stimulated in the body of a man, which inhibits the production of testosterone.
On the body of a man, fat begins to be deposited in the abdomen, thighs and buttocks, decreases muscle mass breast enlargement. The figure takes on a resemblance to a woman. In some, hairiness even decreases, irritability and increased excitability appear.
In the brain, blocks are removed from the center of hunger, therefore, appetite increases and a person eats more than usual. Frequent overeating leads to obesity and increases the risk of developing diabetes.
Beer and potency
As part of beer, in addition to vitamin B, which has a positive effect on nervous system, are the following metals:
- magnesium - stimulates the work of the heart muscle;
- copper and iron - take part in the formation of red blood cells;
- zinc - without it, insulin is not produced.
If we combine everything positive properties, then it turns out that beer strengthens the nerves, improves blood circulation, has a positive effect on the formation of testosterone and a man's erection. But! The body will benefit only when used minimum quantity natural product- no more than one bottle per week.
Frequent drinking of beer in large volumes negatively affects the male body and potency in particular. The composition of this product, especially the dark one, contains a large amount of phytoestrogens, which are a plant analogue of the female sex hormone.
Accumulating in the body, phytoestrogens begin to inhibit the male reproductive system and testosterone production, which leads to a decrease in libido, weakening of erection and the development of impotence. Often, erectile dysfunction is a harbinger of a disease of the cardiovascular system.
Abuse of beer and good potency are absolutely opposite things! And getting used to this product in adolescence causes early impotence.
The first warning signs
In men who drink a lot of beer, libido and erection quality are significantly reduced. There is a so-called "sexual emptiness", in which a woman is less and less seen as a sexual object.
Another alarming sign associated with testosterone deficiency is the weakness or complete absence of morning erections. This phenomenon is normal for older men, and in 20-30-year-olds, morning erections should be at least every other day. This is not a call for sexual intercourse, but a kind of signal that the body is set up, working, everything is fine with it.
When there is a lack of testosterone, hormonal disbalance, in the morning a person wakes up lethargic, tired, with a headache and a feeling that he is not well. It is testosterone that makes a man out of a man, with a lack of it, vitality is lost.
Changes in organs and systems caused by beer
The detrimental effect of beer on the male body is as follows.
- Decreased production of testosterone, and as a result, the work of the genital organs.
- Violation of the brain, thought disorder, memory lapses.
- The expansion of the lumen of the blood vessels causes hypertension and contributes to the development of varicose veins.
- Deterioration of work and heart disease. The rapid absorption of beer into the blood stimulates accelerated filling of the veins and expansion of the heart, which can cause arrhythmia, coronary disease, and even a heart attack. For beer lovers, the heart expands, its functions weaken.
- Brain cells die, which leads to a decrease in mental abilities and memory impairment.
- The rate of secretion of pancreatic enzymes decreases, pancreatitis may develop.
- In a beer alcoholic, joints swell and hurt. In the body, under the influence of a large amount of beer, potassium is washed out, an inflammatory process begins and fluid retention occurs.
- The glands that produce gastric juice are destroyed and atrophy, which leads to difficulty in digestion. And chronic indigestion of food can cause stomach cancer.
- Daily drinking of beer in 50% of cases leads to hepatitis or cirrhosis of the liver.
- In chronic kidney disease, the disease is only aggravated, as diseased organs are overloaded with increased urination.
Drawing a conclusion, we can say the following: you can drink beer, but very rarely and in small volumes. This is how you can avoid the harmful effects of beer on the body of a man and the development of beer alcoholism.
The influence of beer on the male body is of interest to many. Advertising is accompanied by an inscription that harms your health. But in the concept of "excessive" everyone puts his own meaning. In addition, there is an opinion that beer is healthy, not addictive, since it belongs to low-alcohol drinks. Allegedly beneficial features This drink is due to its preparation on the basis of barley, which contains many valuable elements. Let's try to figure out: is it as useful as they say, and what is the effect of beer on the male body.
How does beer affect the heart?
Most great harm from this drink receives the heart muscle. At daily use the body increases in size and its blood supply worsens. Experts call this condition "syndrome bull's heart". It provokes the appearance of heart failure and ischemia. Beer production uses cobalt as a foam stabilizer. In the body of lovers of a foamy drink who use it uncontrollably, the content of this chemical element can exceed the norm by ten times. But it is cobalt that is the main culprit in violations of the heart.
On the stomach
And in the company of carbon dioxide, it has a destructive effect on the esophagus and stomach. In addition, fermentation products are also harmful to these organs, which constantly irritate the mucous membrane and provoke the release of juice in large quantities. All this does the job. digestive tract defective, and as a result, chronic gastritis may develop.
On the liver
Naturally, the liver also suffers from such abuse. The assertion that beer is a low-alcohol drink and not as harmful as, for example, vodka, is groundless. According to medical research, 80% of people who consume about ten liters of beer weekly suffer from liver disorders, including cirrhosis. The body tries its best to neutralize the effect of the drink on the body and therefore copes worse with its other functions.
On the kidneys
Everyone experienced the effect of beer on the kidneys: the desire to release bladder from excess fluid comes very quickly. The fact is that under the influence of a drink, normal for the body acid-base balance is disturbed, and its recovery requires more intensive work of the kidneys. Accordingly, the separation of urine will increase, which is evidence of congestion of the organs. And it can even lead to hemorrhage in the kidneys.
Frequent and abundant beer libations overload the pancreas, reduce its functionality, which disrupts the metabolism of the body as a whole.
What's wrong with men?
What is the danger of the action of beer on the male body? The fact is that when brewing beer, hops are used, in which the hormone phytoestrogen is present, which is an analogue of the female hormone progesterone. This substance suppresses the production of testosterone, causes malfunctions endocrine system and hormonal imbalance. In general, the effect of beer on the male body and potency has been studied for a long time.
Drinking is reflected in appearance representative of the stronger sex and manifests itself in the form of the following symptoms:
- Body hair falls out.
- Muscle mass is reduced.
- A beer belly appears.
- The timbre of the voice rises.
- Decreased sexual activity.
What else is the effect of beer on the male body?
If you do not take action, it will lead to fatal consequences. Over time, these changes will be expressed by the fading of emotions, changes in motor functions, as well as the weakening of memory and absent-mindedness.
In addition to all of the above, the abuse of beer leads to personality degradation, lack of interests in life and a narrowing of one's horizons. It should also be said that frequent use intoxicated drink reduces libido and ultimately leads to sexual weakness. In addition, impaired testosterone synthesis has bad influence to the possibility of conception. Here's how beer affects the male body.
Beer mythmaking
Beer lovers often talk about the usefulness, traditionality and antiquity of this drink. In fact, people learned how to brew an intoxicating drink in ancient times, and the author of the recipe remains unknown to this day. However, the brewing process was fundamentally different from the modern one. The technology by which the drink is brewed today has undergone significant changes over the centuries. What is now called beer differs in composition, color and effect on the human body. Initially, the intoxicating drink could be used to treat certain diseases, but the current product modern technologies healing properties does not, and quite the contrary. Systematic overuse adversely affects all body systems and does not have a positive effect on any organ. We examined the negative impact of beer on the male body and reproduction.
What is beer brewed from?
The raw material for brewers is malt. After its processing in the drink, you can find various minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorus ions. Perhaps, in small concentrations, these elements can affect human health. But most of all, beer contains potassium ions, and they provoke increased urination and excretion of chlorine, sodium and mineral salts from the body. That is why when drinking beer, you always want salty foods. The fact that malt contains vitamin B cannot be disputed.
But in the process of production, its content is significantly reduced, and it is not necessary to talk about any quantities significant for the body. All claims about the harmlessness of beer, based on a small alcohol content, have no scientific basis. According to scientists, any amount of alcohol with systematic use is harmful to health over time. From the point of view of common sense, to perceive myths and stereotypes about useful influence beer on the male body - not a good idea.
Causes of beer alcoholism
Most beer fans never think about what makes them come back to drinking it again and again. As a rule, active promotion and availability of this drink make it attractive. However, beer alcoholism is gaining momentum and getting younger day by day. According to doctors, the dependence on this drink is characterized by rapid addiction, which is four times more than vodka. Besides, pleasant taste and carbon dioxide are attractive to the body, and it does not react with such aggression, as, for example, to vodka. Hops, used in brewing, is an analogue of hemp in the plant kingdom. When these plants are crossed, hybrids are obtained. Hops contain narcotic substances in small quantities. So beer for the male body is completely unsafe.
Alcohol also belongs to this category of substances. That is why beer addiction is formed in a very short time and remains for a long time almost imperceptible. Specialist studies show that alcoholism is formed even when using non-alcoholic beer(in which there is still some alcohol). And from those types of intoxicating drink that are distinguished by high strength, there are signs of drug withdrawal. It has a slightly bitter taste, which is provided by the psychoactive substances included in its composition. These components cause hallucinations, have a hypnotic and sedative effect. The latter fact, together with intoxication, is decisive in the development of alcoholism. A person who has developed addiction cannot imagine life without the object of his adoration.
The biochemistry of the body is reconfigured to the presence of beer. The situation is aggravated by the fact that neither the alcoholic himself nor his relatives until a certain point consider it worthy of serious attention. The state of the addict does not cause concern (just think, he drank beer, it's weak, it's not vodka). This is where all the insidiousness of drinking hops lies. Not so long ago in this drink cadaverine and histamine were found. Cadaverine is a substance belonging to the group of cadaveric poisons. The concentration of these substances in beer, of course, is not very high, but being destroyed in the intestines, they exacerbate withdrawal symptoms.
Conclusion
The harm of beer for the male body has recently become the subject of study by experts. With the spread of addiction, this phenomenon began to receive more attention. Now we can make an unambiguous conclusion that beer has pernicious influence per person in any quantity.
