When you're in your 40s, it's pretty common to need reading glasses. You might need smaller wine glasses, too. 到了40岁，需要佩戴老花镜是很常见的。与此同时，你可能也需要换更小的酒杯了。 That's because alcohol hits people harder in their 40s and 50s than it did during their 20s and 30s. The reasons for this include changes in body composition to brain sensitivity and liver functioning. Lifestyle factors are at play, too. And since people tend to take more medications -- both prescription and over-the-counter -- as they age, there are more chances for uncomfortable and even dangerous booze-drug mixing. 这是因为人到了四五十岁时，酒精的影响比二三十岁的时候更厉害。原因包括身体组成、大脑敏感度和肝功能等各方面的变化。生活方式也有影响。另外，由于人们年纪增大时会服用更多药物――包括处方药和非处方药――酒精和药物混合的机率就会更大，从而造成身体不舒服甚至出现危险。 |
