酒會讓人的體重增加之外，還有看起來變老的可能

Source: drinkaware.co.uk. Calories and alcohol content may vary.

The calorie content is certainly an issue - a glass of wine contains a similar number of calories to a slice of sponge cake and a pint of cider the same as a sugared donut. But too much drink can age you in other ways.

喝酒絕對是會增加卡路里，一個玻璃杯的酒的熱量大約等同於一片海綿蛋糕和一品脫的蘋果汁，又等同於一個甜甜圈，除了增加熱量之外，喝太多酒也可能讓你變得更老。

*sponge ( n. ) 海綿

*pint ( n. ) 品脫

*cider ( n. ) 蘋果汁 ; 蘋果酒

Your skin 皮膚

Alcohol dehydrates the skin and takes away nutrients, making it dull and tired. It also dilates the facial blood vessels, making it more likely you'll end up with spidery red thread veins.

酒精會讓你的皮膚變乾，同時也會帶走你皮膚的養分，讓你的皮膚看起來老氣乾燥，此外，酒精也讓你的臉部血管擴張，最後臉上可能會出現一條條細細的血管。

*dehydrate ( v. ) 使乾燥

*dilate ( v. ) 擴張

*vessel ( n. ) 血管

*vein ( n. ) 靜脈 ; 血管

Your hair 頭髮

Not being properly hydrated can also affect your hair - regular drinking can leave it dry and brittle. If you drink too much it can even deplete iron levels and can cause hair loss.

平時有飲酒習慣會讓頭髮顯得乾燥、容易斷裂損傷，如果酒喝太多，會減少頭髮韌性也有可能造成掉髮。

*brittle ( adj. ) 易損壞的

*deplete ( v. ) 使減少

Lack of (beauty) sleep 不充足的睡眠

Drinks before bedtime can damage your natural sleep cycles and mean you need to get up during the night to go to the toilet. It can all leave you tired the next day.

在睡前喝酒也會擾亂你的睡眠，因為你可能需要半夜起來上廁所，而這會讓你隔日精神不佳。

Nails 指甲

Good nails depend on a good intake of nutrients and water. If your nails are brittle it could be a sign you are drinking too much.

健康的指甲需要靠足夠的營養和水分來維持，所以如果你的指甲容易斷裂，這有可能是你的酒精攝取太多了!

Your weight 體重

Alcohol is of course packed with calories that contain no nutritional value. To make matters worse, alcohol lacks essential nutrients and can lower blood sugar levels making you feel hungry and more likely to overeat.

酒精會帶給身體不必要的熱量，酒精內缺乏基本的營養，而且它會降低血糖讓你有飢餓感，你有可能因此過量飲食。
