Why can't alcohol be mixed?

Sometimes when the wine table is drunk high, or when others keep toasting, it is inevitable that the white beer or even the red one will come together. Some people drink beer alone or Baijiu is fine, but it seems that they will get drunk soon when they drink together. Why is this?

Baijiu and beer should not be mixed, mainly because Baijiu and beer are different spirits. Baijiu is distilled wine and beer is fermented wine.

In addition to a small amount of fusel oil, Baijiu is mainly ethanol, and beer contains many ingredients such as carbon dioxide, peptides and amino acids, inorganic salts, vitamins, antioxidants, etc. There are some substances that can promote the absorption of ethanol. Therefore, drinking Baijiu mixed with beer is more likely to get drunk, and the degree of discomfort in the end is obviously greater than the drunkenness of drinking one wine alone, which can easily cause dizziness, nausea, vomiting, etc., and even cause other symptoms of poisoning.

Not only Baijiu and beer cannot be mixed, but also different brands of wine cannot be mixed at the same banquet. The reason why drinking mixed wine is easy to get drunk is mainly related to the raw materials of brewing. When mixed, different ingredients in the wine will react with each other and stimulate people's brain nerves.

In addition, the alcohol content of various wines is also different. It is difficult for the body to adapt to such constant changes when drinking beer, Baijiu and wine. Moreover, generally different wines have different alcohol content, and the various components of wine are also different.
