Narcologist warned against drinking beer on the beach

Ruslan Isaev, a psychiatrist and narcologist, warned that beer in the heat can create a false feeling of coolness, but in fact it harms the body.

In conversation with aif.ru On Friday, July 4, he noted that the contents of the beer — ethanol combined with carbon dioxide — dilate blood vessels, exacerbating heat and contributing to dehydration.

Isaev emphasized that the drink has a pronounced diuretic effect, causing water loss, headache, weakness, and even the risk of heat stroke.
