If you drink beer at this time, it may increase menstrual flow, causing Dysmenorrhea . Furthermore, during menstruation, women lack catabolic enzymes in their bodies. If they drink alcohol, the alcohol cannot be excreted from the body normally, which will easily prolong the drunken state and make them more likely to become addicted to alcohol. This is also one of the fundamental reasons why many women suffer from alcohol poisoning during menstruation.

In fact, for female friends, not only is it not suitable to drink during menstruation, but it is also best not to drink too much alcohol at ordinary times.
