Vodka is a strong drink, which in recent years has been covered with a lot of myths . Experts decided to debunk some popular misconceptions about this alcohol.

The idea that vodka is too high in calories is not entirely true. 100 ml of the drink contains approximately 231 calories, and the products used for snacks in this regard are much higher in calories.

At the same time, experts warn that any alcohol by itself can cause enough harm to the body even without a high calorie content.< /p>

It is also not true that vodka does not weather and does not spoil. If the storage rules are violated, the drink becomes unusable quite simply and quickly. Do not leave it under direct sunlight or in a warm place, it is not recommended to store vodka in a plastic container. If you do not close the container with a lid, weathering will begin, and then oxidation.

The most common myth is that vodka does not freeze. Almost any strong drink can turn into ice, the difference will be only in the temperature required for this. About minus 25 degrees will be enough for vodka. If the drink freezes at higher temperatures, this may indicate its counterfeit origin and the presence of extra impurities in the composition.

The mistake that vodka warms the body is also extremely dangerous. Immediately after drinking alcohol, you really feel as if it has become warmer.

However, this is primarily due to the expansion of blood vessels and acceleration of blood circulation. After a short time, the blood vessels will begin to constrict, which threatens frostbite even in mild frost. Doctors strongly do not recommend drinking alcohol in the cold, it is better to refrain immediately after returning from the cold to a warm room.
