Baboon TV Presents 7 Myths You Still Believe About Alcohol
Number One: The theory of our bodies processing drink within an hour is claimed to he two
by Warren, who claims, "The average rate of alcohol metabolism
is 100 milligrams of alcohol per kilogram of bodyweight per hour..
For a typical 160-pound man, this would translate into 7 grams of alcohol in an hour.
The so-called standard serving, a 12-ounce bottle of beer, is 14 grams of alcohol, so
it would take two hours to fully metabolize it.
For most people, if you drink one drink an hour, you're going to become more and more
impaired each hour."
He says that, for a 160 pound person, the rate of an hour is contradictory because it
would then take four hours to get legally drunk with a .08 alcohol concentration level
in the blood.
Number Two: The processes is almost impossible to speed up, as opposed to claims of hot cups
of coffee and cold showers doing so.
Warren claims caffeine actually does the opposite.
"Caffeine is a stimulant, and because of that, a person's going to be more awake
but just as much impaired.
It can give an individual a false degree of confidence that they are not impaired,"
he says.
This could lead to poor decisions and risky behaviour.
Number Three: Alcohol doesn't, in fact, send you to the loo more often, it suppresses the
Vasopressin hormone, which sends extra liquids to the bladder.
Alcohol is a diuretic, which squeezes more water to outside of our cells.
In turn, that excess water is taken to our bladder.
Then, you need to go when you need to!
With a drink after another, it increases.
It doesn't, however, have to do so much with delaying the first trip to empty your bladder.
The trick is to have less alcohol to drink when you cannot head over, since it is the
root cause of these irritating, frequent visits.
That's a fact to keep in mind the next time you're out drinking the night away, unless
you want to spend that night in the loo instead of enjoying it like you should be.
Number Four: Now to the hangover ratio.
The New York Times reported.
"The pattern, more often, is that people will have beer and then move on to liquor
at the end of the night, and so they think it's the liquor that made them sick,"
Carlton K. Erickson, director of the Addiction Science Research and Education Center at the
University of Texas College of Pharmacy, told the Times in 2006.
"But simply mixing the two really has nothing to do with it."
This combination may sometimes be misleading, but it isn't just the liquor that brings on
that ill feeling.
Number Five: "Most beer bellies are just due to excessive calories from any source,
beer among them," Marion Nestle, Ph.D., M.P.H., a professor of nutrition, food studies
and public health at New York University told The Huffington Post in 2013.
Beer can cause a beer belly, but that belly is not only caused by beer.
Beer contains calories, yes, but generally speaking, calories are found in every consumed
food or drink except water.
When you think of it, a little less beer and a little more water might calm the bulge.
Number Six: Drink to sleep, correct?
However, you sleep will easily become disrupted if you over do it.
According to a 2013 review of the research, a decrease in the crucial stage of sleep,
the REM, or Rapid Eye Movement, stage is due to the disruption alcohol causes.
This disturbance in the REM cycle may hinder that bit of sleep one tends to drink to get,
which may suggest one doesn't drink excessively before bedtime, as the research states.
Number Seven: Hangover cures shown on marketing products, despite their vitamin levels, don't
scientifically prove to be effective.
Warren claims, "In the past, [manufacturers] have added thiamine or folate or vitamin B6
or vitamin B12 and claimed this helps speed the rate of clearance of alcohol.
There's no basis and no evidence to indicate that that actually does happen."
