Doctor's answer:
Women should avoid drinking alcohol when they are experiencing their menstrual period or during their period, as it can more easily harm the liver or cause alcohol poisoning.Before and during menstruation, women are affected by hormonal fluctuations, which reduce the activity of enzymes in the body responsible for breaking down alcohol. This leads to a decline in alcohol metabolism, making it difficult for alcohol to be quickly excreted from the bloodstream. Instead, it transforms into harmful "acidic substances" in the body. To eliminate these acidic substances, the liver must continuously produce enzymes. As a result, the burden on the liver is increased, and the likelihood of liver dysfunction is also heightened.
