is boozing once a week--2 bottles of beers bad for young ladies??

Question

am 22!! i want a good reply!!! i work out every day!!

Answer 1

Not at all... I think, in fact it makes me even fresher to booze a peg or two, after a hectic week...

Answer 2

2 bottles of beer a week is not boozing..although alcohol is absorbed differently by different bodies. The question of whether or not it is bad for you depends. Alcohol is not exactly good for you, but 2 bottles of beer a week is certainly much less than many people consume..even on a daily basis.

Answer 3

how big are the bottles????
also, why do you ask? you work out every day. whats that all about. two normal size beers is hardly boosing. but, you need to question why you thing it might be wrong. some cultures drink beer with their meals/ also what kind of food do you eat. smoking is way worst than beer. ( i was just thinking where is she drinking this beer) are there any chicken wings involved, etc. I am not trying to be a smarty. just trying to get you to thing about it

Answer 4

Well it's definitely not good for you and you'd be better off not drinking at all, but I guess it could be a heck of a lot worse. If you work out every day, it would be good if you just stayed really well hydrated and drank a lot of water and the occasional powerade. Beer just doesn't have a place in the ideal picture of health.

Answer 5

No it's not! Their is nothing wrong with drinking so long as you do it in moderation. Two beers a week is fine as compared to two beers a day. However women have different alcohol tolerances some can comsume more then others. If your preganant or on medication it's a bad idea to drink alcohol.

Answer 6

no
Some people say it is good to have 1 beer a night , why i don't know

Defining a Drink

A drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine or 1.5 ounces of 80- to 100-proof distilled spirits. Experts say that when it comes to alcohol, a little goes a long way for the potential health effects. Once again, moderation appears to be the key. Sip past moderation and the effects of alcohol can quickly become negative.

So, what's moderation when it comes to alcohol? Most studies suggest that moderate drinking is up to one drink per day for women and two drinks per day for men. Heavy drinking is considered anything above this amount and may include the common pattern of abstaining during the week and "binge" drinking on the weekends.

A culmination of research studies involving alcohol suggests that the potential beneficial properties of moderate drinking are not limited to wine alone. Whether you choose beer, wine or spirits, you'll reap the benefits from the form of alcohol known as ethanol.

What must be clearly distinguished is that the potential health benefits of drinking alcohol are associated with moderate drinking. In some cases, an increase past moderate drinking may actually reverse the benefits and lead to increased risks. Here's a look at some of the possible pros of moderate drinking and cons of heavy drinking.

Rewards of Moderation

Moderate drinking may:

Reduce your risk of developing heart disease, peripheral vascular disease and intermittent claudication (leg pain).

Alcohol raises HDL "good" cholesterol, prevents plaque from forming in arteries, and prevents clotting.

Reduce your risk of dying of a heart attack.

Reduce your risk of strokes, particularly ischemic strokes.

Lower your risk of gallstones.

Possibly reduce your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Alcohol appears to improve insulin sensitivity.

Reduce your risk of age-related cognitive decline. Alcohol may reduce plaque build-up common with Alzheimer's disease.

Possibly protect your bones. The silicon in beer is associated with improved bone mineral density in both men and women.

Lower your risk of developing ulcers. Alcohol may help destroy Helicobacter pylori infection that commonly causes ulcers.
More is Not Better

Heavy drinking may lead to:

Cancer, such as gastrointestinal, oral, pharynx, esophageal and liver cancers, as well as breast cancer in women. Alcohol appears to increase the risk of estrogen and progesterone receptor positive breast tumors more than estrogen and progesterone receptor negative tumors. This suggests a hormonal basis for the effect of alcohol on breast cancer.

Chronic pancreatitis, especially in people with high levels of triglycerides in their blood

Elevated levels of triglycerides in the blood

High blood pressure

Miscarriage

Injuries resulting from impaired motor skills

Sudden death in people with cardiovascular disease

Heart failure

Stroke

Alcoholic cirrhosis of the liver

Fetal alcohol syndrome in an unborn child, including slow growth and nervous system problems

Depression

Suicide


Tips for Healthful Consumption

Drink alcohol with food to slow its release into the bloodstream.

Drink sips of water between sips of alcohol.

Choose either a drink or a dessert when eating out to avoid excess calories.

Take a multivitamin fortified with folic acid every day.

Be mindful of liquid calories. A drink usually has between 100 and 135 calories.

Avoid drinking alcohol at all if you have had a hemorrhagic stroke or have liver disease or pancreatic disease.

Know your family history. You may be at risk of alcoholism if you have a family history of it.

Remember that alcohol can interfere with common medications such as anticoagulants, antidepressants, beta-blockers, chemotherapies and pain relievers. Be sure to check with your doctor or pharmacist about potential interactions.


The Bottom Line

Moderate drinking appears to play a role in chronic disease prevention when the other elements of a balanced lifestyle are also present. These elements include a healthful diet, healthy weight, adequate physical activity, no smoking, ample stress reduction and rest. Moderate drinking is only one component of a balanced lifestyle. The choice is yours.
