Especially if you drink cold beer, it can harm your health. If you are also fond of drinking cold beer in summer, then it is very important for you to know how it affects the body. NDTV talked to public health expert Dr. Sameer Bhati about this. Let us know what he told about this.
What happens if you drink cold beer? (What happens when you drink cold beer?)
Doctor Sameer Bhati says that many people feel that when they drink cold beer in the scorching heat, their body feels relaxed and their thirst is quenched. But this notion is absolutely wrong. Cold beer has the opposite effect on the body. Drinking cold beer dehydrates the body. This means that water comes out from the body in large quantities and there is a deficiency of water in the body. The same thing happens by drinking too much coffee.
