Patient's question:
What kind of diseases can be treated in general internal medicine? How much alcohol consumption can lead to alcohol poisoning?Doctor's answer:
How much beer is consumed is directly related to alcohol poisoning. The poisoning is directly related to an individual's tolerance, the amount of ethanol degraded in the body, and their general constitution. It is recommended to avoid excessive drinking, as long-term alcohol consumption can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases, systemic diseases, cardiovascular diseases, and even the most severe condition, alcoholic cirrhosis, among many other symptoms. Drinking a large amount of alcohol in one sitting is equivalent to having a hepatitis episode. It is advised to quit smoking and drinking promptly.
