Does Drinking Beer Cause Heat or Reduce It?

Drinking beer can lead to excessive heat in the body, so it is necessary to control the amount consumed regularly; otherwise, discomfort may arise. Beer is a common beverage mainly brewed from hops, malt, yeast, and other ingredients, and it contains many enzymes, sugars, alcohol, and other components. If beer is consumed excessively on a regular basis, these components may accumulate in the body, potentially inducing excessive heat, manifesting as symptoms such as dry mouth, sores in the mouth, difficulty in bowel movements, and even affecting normal daily life.

If the condition of excessive heat becomes severe, it is necessary to immediately stop drinking beer and improve the situation by drinking more water to alleviate discomfort. When necessary, medications such as Niuhuang Jiedu Pian, Huanglian Shangqing Pill, and Niuhuang Qingwei Pill can be used under the guidance of a doctor to achieve the purpose of reducing heat. In daily life, attention should be paid to routine care, with sufficient rest and guaranteed sleep time.

However, intense exercise and heavy physical labor are not recommended. In addition, attention should also be paid to diet, avoiding spicy and stimulating foods such as hot pot and sour and spicy noodles, as these may exacerbate the symptoms of excessive heat and hinder rapid recovery.
