Excessive alcohol consumption can rob your body of vital nutrients and lead to brittle and thinning hair. Alcohol lowers zinc levels in the body, which is "a pretty important mineral when it comes to hair growth and volume."
There are a number of studies showing that a lack of these nutrients can lead to hair loss over time.
It is noted that hair loss is normal because we can lose 50 to 100 hairs a day, often without even noticing it. Hair loss is usually nothing to worry about, but it can be bothersome for some people.
Zinc and folic acid are known to help maintain hair strength and thickness. Unfortunately, excessive alcohol consumption can deprive your body of these vital nutrients and lead to baldness.
Excessive alcohol consumption is not only bad for your hair, but it can also have a negative effect on your health in general.
According to the NHS, men and women are advised not to drink more than 14 units of alcohol per week.
"One unit is equal to 10 ml or 8 g of pure alcohol, which roughly corresponds to the amount of alcohol that the average adult can process in an hour," the study says.
The number of drink units depends on its volume and strength.
Staying hydrated and drinking plenty of water can also improve the overall condition of your hair.
