A bottle of beer every evening can be more dangerous than rare feasts with vodka

A bottle of beer every evening can be more dangerous than rare feasts with vodka. Narcologist and psychiatrist Anton Rudkovsky spoke about this in a conversation with Gazeta.Ru.

The doctor called it a big mistake to assess the harm of alcohol by its strength: regular use is much more important. So, a bottle of beer every day after work can be much more dangerous than drinking strong drinks on holidays. The narcologist explained that daily rituals quickly form addiction, as alcohol becomes a habitual way to relax.

Rudkovsky added that the problem with beer is that it is perceived as a harmless drink. “The most dangerous thought: “I’m not an alcoholic, I only drink beer.” It is this confidence that prevents us from noticing the problem in time,” Rudkovsky noted. The doctor also called a situation when alcohol becomes an obligatory part of the evening, and its absence causes irritation or a feeling that the day went wrong, as an alarming sign.
