There are few things people want more than a cold beer or a nice glass of wine. All the more so now that wine has almost come and most people nothing takes the thirst away from the drinks above. Despite this, they differ from each other, when it comes to the impact they can have on our health.
Which one falls on our heads faster?
Half a litre of beer and an average glass of wine both contain the same amount of alcohol, 16-24 grams. However, drunkenness is linked to the amount of alcohol that passes into the blood stream and the speed at which this occurs. These depend on the type of alcoholic drink we consume.
A University of Texas study found through the test in different people that as we may think, it is strong alcoholic beverages, such as vodka, brandy or rum that caused more immediate drunkenness. However, wine came after them, which peaked after 54 minutes, and beer, after 62 minutes. Put another way, a glass of wine falls on your head faster than a glass of beer.
Which one fats us the most?
Alcohol keeps many calories in itself, without calculating all the sugars added to alcoholic beverages to give them more flavor. Half a litre of beer contains 180 calories, i.e. 50% more than a glass of wine, which of course affects weight gain.
But for those who drink once in a while, it doesn't seem to cause any change. And in fact, according to a recent study, it seems that wine and beer have no rapid weight impact, at least not during the first 10 weeks. But if we talk about a longer period of about 5 years, beer can promote the build-up of a fat mass mainly in the abdomen, and add up to 25 kilograms of weight.
Which one gets us worse?
Although they have tried, scientists still need to work to find out what causes "bad drunkenness"" what gives us mixed and terrible headaches. However, there are some hypotheses related to this, and dehydration seems the most satisfactory explanation. Alcohol causes our bodies to bring out more fluids than we get.
Another explanation may also be related to products that are added to alcoholic beverages to give them more flavor and flavour, and they promote the creation of toxins in the body, which cause headaches and mixtures. So far, it's dark drinks that seem to cause bad drunkenness. But while red vodka is worse in our heads than white vodka, red wine and white wine or different kinds of beer, there doesn't seem to be any big difference.
What has the most health consequences?
We are often told that one glass of wine a day does good for the organism by reducing the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Wine, especially red, contains some chemicals called "polypenoles" which fight harmful chemicals within the body.
While beer, as we know, is not known for any healing properties, although it also contains some polypenoles and also has some positive influences similar to those of white wine but still much less than the benefits of white wine. These of course are not a reason to drink without counting glasses; One glass a day keeps the doctor away, but if you overdo it, there won't be a doctor who wants to get close to you.
