Alcohol Awareness. With the increase of alcohol abuse and alcoholism in this country and in other industrialized nations in the world, it is clear that people need more alcohol awareness so they can avoid the damaging and unhealthy consequences of excessive and abusive drinking.
Alcoholism is a stage of disease caused due to an excessive intake of alcohol. The Alcoholism physical signs develops in person when the acute form of this disease is changed to it chronic form with time and disproportionate usage of alcohol. The personal tolerance of a person to alcohol is another factor the effects the physical health of that person. The temporary effects of alcoholic drinks sometimes vary from outgoing, irritating behavior to severe illness or even demise.
Mild utilization of alcoholic drinkables for around two pegs may damage reasoning ability in a person and results in poor judgment. This can also lead to lower reticence that changes the normal behavior of the person. For instance, the person becomes more conversational and shows extraordinary sexual desires.
Another serious stage that is caused due to consistent alcohol intake is lack of coordination and reaction especially during vehicle driving. Most of the people who intake a small quantity of alcohol feels that they are all right and are able to drive. However, they do not realize the fact that the toxic beverage suppresses both their mental capabilities and the reflexes. The main cause of vehicle accidents around the world is due to the effect of alcohol on man.
The blood vessels in the human body quickly absorb the alcohol consumed. The absorption rate depends upon the quantity of intake, duration and the quantity as well as the quality of food consumed. If the person has a habit of taking fat and carbohydrate rich food, the rate of absorption of alcohol to the blood stream will decrease to a greater extent. This is not same in every case, especially with champagne that absorbs faster.
The physical symptoms of alcoholism usually start to expose after ten to fifteen minutes after the alcohol consumption. The BAC or the blood and alcohol content reach its max after half an hour of alcohol intake. The BAC remains stable until the person’s liver is capable of alcoholic metabolism.
Major Physical Signs of Alcoholism:
There are some major short-term physical signs of alcoholism in a human body. They are:
* Decreased Inhibitions: When the blood alcohol content in a person arrives at 0.05, the normal behavior starts to vary markedly. A person addicted to alcohol is not aware of the fact that the toxic harmful drug can badly affect his behavior. The physical signs include sexual promiscuity, vehicle driving under the alcohol influence, unlawful drug utilization and sometimes violence.
* Lack of Harmonization: When the BAC reaches 0.10, the person is badly affected with inaudible speech due to poor harmonization. The alcohol intoxication affects the thinking of the user and tends to lack of reasoning and coordination. These can further lead to many falls as well as major accidents.
* Pass Out and Memory Loss: The continuous usage of alcohol affects the normal functioning of the bran. Since the blood stream of a human being absorbs toxic materials quickly and sent this to the brain, the person will be affected with memory loss and pass outs. They are not even aware of their own actions at certain times.
* Nausea or Vomiting: When you consume a huge quantity of alcohol that is considered as a poison, our body tries to resist the toxic material by creating nausea or vomiting in the consumer. In other cases, the person consuming alcohol feels nauseous since the alcohol badly affects the sense of equilibrium of the body.

Alcoholism Statistics. Alcoholism statistics help people better understand the dangerous and unhealthy consequences of excessive and abusive drinking.
Alcoholism is one of the biggest problems in all over the world. Every year, several surveys are conducted to gather the alcoholism statistics. According to the statistical experts, alcoholism is even a worse disease than cancer or aids as it not only spoils the person’s physical health but also spoils his/her life as well. Just by reason of massive drinking, a person has to sacrifice his/her family, career and social life. Sometimes, there are the possibilities that a person adopts some wrong ways to gather money for drinking. These wrong ways could be of crime including robbery and theft etc.
There are several types of alcoholism statistics. It might surprise you but it is true, according to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, there are five types of alcoholics. To increase your surprise, the biggest group of alcoholics in the world is young adults. Out of these five types of alcoholics, more than 31.5 come into the group of young adults. This is just a beginning. The next type of alcoholic is even more shocking.
The next type is the young antisocial alcoholics. This group contains all those young people who are in between 25 to 29 years of age and all of them have started drinking alcohol in their young ages. More than half of them are having several types of health hazards that make them fail to perform even normal functions. Many of them have people with drinking habits in their families. A major percentage of these people are also suffering from several types of depression and anxiety.
Besides this, the next category of alcoholics is functional alcoholics. More than half of them also smoke and all of them are belonging to middle age groups group. Surprisingly, all of them are having stable career and families. Around 19 percent or total alcoholics are intermediate familial alcoholics and 9 percent are considered as the chronic server alcoholics. After this, the next type of alcoholics is the server alcoholics. These people are those who will search for treatment for their drinking problems.
Now comes the turn of getting aware of number of men and women consumes alcohol. The results are shocking. Only in the US there are 9.8 million men having drinking problems while on the other hand 3.9 million women are exposed to drinking. According to the surveys, 3 out of 5 families have any particular person with drinking problems. 43 percent of total adults in US are open for drinking. The most shocking alcoholism statistic is that around 8 million children who are under the age of 18 years have an alcoholic parent either father or mother.
In US around 100,000 people lost their lives due to alcohol and 1/3rd of these deaths are committed suicides and accidents like car crashes or drowning. This shows that how an alcoholic person is more open for depression and anxiety. This has made alcohol the third largest cause of preventable deaths. Now, if you speak about the car crashes, around half of car accidents happen due to the alcohol or drunk driving.

The benefits of relaxing your nerves and letting your hair down, sort of speak have been recognized since human kind started. After two drinks it takes a 120 minutes or so depending on the body type of the person for the body to convert alcohol and get rid of it. If a person drinks more than two drinks in an hour or two the body gets saturated quickly.
When this occurs the alcohol act as a poison and the main damage is a mineral deficiency along with a vitamin deficiency. Alcohol has no nutrients for its’ high calorie content. A lot of cooking in the body is going on but no nutrition metabolizing. This is not good for the tissue. If you help your body it is pretty obvious the human body can tolerate alcohol since we been drinking forever..
The more conscious you are of the need for liquid minerals and vitamins the healthy you can feel and in indulge in your favorite spirits. Alcohol drinking consumes large stores of B1. Lower levels of B1 can cause memory disorders, concentration problems, heart problems especially rapid palpitations of the heart.
B2 levels are depleted with regular drinking of alcohol. These lowered levels of B2 can lead to specifically digestive disorders leading to weak eyesight, joint pins and inflammations, cracks and sores of the mouth,and various skin disorders.
B3 is the most effected by alcohol. Depression can result from lowered B3 nutritional levels.
The remarkable mineral magnesium is lowered by drinking alcohol and this can lead to weak bone development , blood clots and certain mental diseases are related to low magnesium levels.
The remarkable mineral element zinc is a key player with certain enzymes that is used to metabolize alcohol. Losing zinc little by little will lead to poor wound healing, a chronic fatigue feeling, infertility and prostate gland disorders.
Alcohol directly affects the cerebral cortex. This is the center of conscious thinking and as the great thinkers have always taught us to attain to , self realization. The cortex gets effected by alcohol first. You start missing words and can’t remember what you were going to say.
The hypothalamus , the relay station for nerve transmission between the brain stem and the cerebral cortex is alcohols next stop. So, as you would imagine messages get confused.
The Pineal gland is the home of remarkable minerals like magnesium and phosphorous which (Dr. Helen has written other articles take a look at other Remarkable Mineral articles through ezine articles.) Prolonged alcohol use reduces both these minerals which is why it is urgent that one drinks liquid minerals if drinking is a part of the fabric of ones’ life.
The Pineal gland is interesting and has so much to do with the ability of our senses to register the subtle aspects of love and even spiritual understanding and feelings.
Cirrhosis of the liver is the development of fatty tissue degenerating the liver commonly understood to occur as a result of taking in alcohol. Aloe vera juice taken regularly will flush the liver and cleanse and keep it clean and youthful. alcohol also affects the pituitary, reticular activating system and the brain stem. Regular extra care of the body will allow you party with confidence and balance. Feeling good gets to be the most enjoyable addiction of all.

Alcohol and drinking age.
Drinking alcohol has been a practice continuing such a long time. Centuries ago, it was only men who were supposed to drink and feast. Women were not expected to drink and have some unconscious fun. But now the times as changed, today both men and women like to drink. It is common to see people taking drinks and alcohol regularly. The drinking age is the minimum age at which a person is legally allowed to consume and purchase alcohol from the leading stores. Today there are many beverages available in the market that contains alcohol in different quantities. Alcohol, when and taken occasionally do not harm as much when you consume it daily.
Alcohol drinking age is different in different countries. It is a common practice in every country and men and women like to drink alcohol to have some fun and frolic during a party or just to give them some rest from the boring and monotonous work routine. In most of the country’s the Drinking age is particularly between 15 to 17 years but in some countries like India the Drinking age that is legally allowed is high as 25 years.
It was long back in here 1984 when a law was passed by the national minimum drinking age act of 1984, where a law was passed wherein people below the age of 21 were not eligible to consume alcohol.
Before the law became active different states had different minimum age for alcohol consumption. Most of the bars and pubs do not allow people below the legal Drinking age to enter, consume and purchase Alcohol and Alcoholic beverages. And in 2007 a total of 14 states and Colombian district banned the underage consumption of alcohol. Most people prefer to consume alcohol the cause it relaxes and Soothes their body and help them to come more the tension and stress off to a business for other things that are important in their life. And it is reasonable to consume alcohol once in a while but people who consume it in a major quantity may have some side effects as excessive alcohol consumption may lead to damage off liver and kidney.
Most of the countries in the world prohibit drinking and driving. It is because when people drink too much they feel unconscious and their reaction time while he is considerably reduced. Their unable to act precisely when and they come across are tree or any human being incidentally. It has been surveyed that out of hundred people who drive after consuming Alcohol 70 meet with an accident. The government off different countries has been looking into the seriousness of the matter and has started penalizing and punishing all those people who drink and drive. It is not recommended to drink and rise if you do not want to get stuck in such an accident.

There’s a big difference between a DUI and a DWI. Not just legally, but financially and criminally. The only way to be certain is to know the legal limits and to take an alcohol breath test. An alcohol breath test will give you an exact alcohol to blood content, which is what the police use to enforce the drunk driving laws that are so vigilant.
Using an alcohol breath test is the most common and easy way to find out if and how much alcohol a person has consumed. In all states there are drinking laws. An alcohol breath test, usually preceded by a field sobriety test, is the way that a policeman deduces whether or not you’ve been drinking, and if you’ve been drinking excessively before or while you were behind the wheel of a car.
Once it is determined that you’ve been drinking an alcohol breath test will help to determine your alcohol blood content, or the amount of alcohol in your blood, which is used to distinguish the charge.
The difference being, usually by one tenth of a percentage, that you are either legally drunk and driving, which results in a driving while intoxicated charge which gives the stiffest of penalties, or that you are charged with a driving under the influence charge, which means you are guilty of having driven after imbibing alcohol, but that you weren’t legally drunk.
In most states these days one is considered drunk if they blow a .10, and anything beneath that, a .008 for instance, means you will be charged with a DUI. In both cases, if you are found guilty, the penalties are severe. A DWI penalty can be life altering, requiring loss of license, substantial jail time, and large financial penalties.
Of course drinking and driving accidents kill far too many people, most of whom are innocent bystanders, so penalties should be harsh. That being said, an alcohol breath test can be an inaccurate tests, and field sobriety test can be way off. You can appear drunk if you are fatigued. It is your right to not take an alcohol breath test, but in most cases the law then presumes that you are guilty.
The best way to know for certain if you have any doubts is to not drive. Get a cab or have a designated driver drive you around. If that is not possible, the second best thing you can do is administer your own alcohol breath test. They make digital alcohol breath tests and breath analyzers that range in price from fifty dollars to a few hundred dollars that are as accurate as any breath test that the police department or government agencies might use.
Some jobs require that you take random alcohol breath tests and these are usually the devices used. The fact of the matter is that it’s wrong to drink and drive and can be dangerous to you and to those around you.
The best way to avoid trouble is to simply not drink and drive. Police and prosecutors, however, rely heavily, almost solely on alcohol breath tests when it comes to drinking and driving cases. If you are involved in a drinking and driving case, it is best to have all the info available to you about the matter.
If you’ve been convicted before it could be imperative that you have your own way to self-administer an alcohol breath test. It could save lives.

With all of the medical and alcohol abuse research that has validated the fact that adverse alcohol effects result from excessive and abusive drinking, I wonder why anyone would choose to drink in a hazardous and irresponsible manner.
Stated more precisely, with the wide array of employment problems, legal issues, relationship difficulties, financial issues, and health problems that are linked to alcoholism and chronic alcohol abuse, why would anyone with common sense want to drink in a hazardous and abusive manner?
Indeed, when alcohol related problems are put under the microscope and analyzed more closely, drinking in an irresponsible and excessive manner makes even less sense and becomes even more illogical.
After reviewing the research literature the point is so central that it needs to be restated: with all of the unhealthy and destructive outcomes that are directly or indirectly correlated with repeated, excessive drinking, why would anyone want to involve himself or herself in alcohol abuse or alcoholism?

Lately, Justin had been drinking more than ever. In fact, he noticed that his attitude and outlook on life had become poor, most of the money he earned from his part-time job at the golf course was used to purchase alcohol, and his schoolwork had significantly deteriorated.
In addition, when Justin thought about things honestly, he saw all of these problems as a direct reflection of his hazardous and abusive drinking. One evening when Justin was particularly depressed he saw Chuck, his older brother, and asked him the following: “Chuck, is it possible that I am alcohol dependent because of my excessive drinking?
I have noticed a lot of bizarre things going on in my life and I wonder if these are alcoholism symptoms.” Chuck calmed Justin down and said that the most logical plan of action would be to call their family doctor and schedule an appointment to discuss Justin’s drinking problems.
Chuck told Justin that he might have to get alcohol rehab but that if he honestly wanted to face his problem drinking and change his life in a positive way, he would most likely be able to go through virtually any type alcohol treatment program in a successful manner.

Jamie was a junior at a large city high school. One afternoon, the health teacher, Miss Schilling, decided to talk about the legal, employment, relationship, financial, and health issues that are linked to hazardous and abusive drinking in general and associated with underage drinking and teenage alcohol abuse in particular.
Jamie listened intently for around ten minutes, and then got very aggravated. Finally, she raised her hand and asked the following question. “Miss Schilling, why do we need to learn about alcohol abuse and alcoholism and the negative effects of underage drinking? Nearly everyone in this room is already drinking so why make an effort to tell us all of this negative stuff?”
Miss Schilling told Jamie that because most of the students in her class will drink, they need to know up front the about the hazards and the dangers of their actions so that they can avoid the adverse consequences of underage drinking.

Rachael watched her father drink himself to death and join a long list of alcohol related fatalities in her family. Rachael’s maternal great grandfather, paternal grandfather, and several aunts and uncles on both sides of the family either died directly from hazardous and abusive drinking or their lives were substantially shortened due to their chronic alcohol abuse or alcoholism.
At one point Rachael began wondering if she too would become an alcohol abuser or an alcohol dependent person and die prematurely from this disease.
In fact, Rachael was so worried about this that she scheduled an appointment with her doctor to discuss her concerns regarding her drinking and her family history of drinking problems.
Her doctor told her that alcohol addiction does in fact run in families and that if she made sure to always drink in moderation, she probably wouldn’t face any serious alcohol related problems.
Then her doctor told her that if she wanted to make sure that he would never have to fear alcohol dependency and any alcohol related problems all she would have to do is totally stop drinking. In all honesty, this second option was making more and more sense to Rachael the more she thought about her family and the damaging and life threatening consequences they faced because of their abusive and irresponsible drinking.

Research shows that increasing numbers of people throughout the world are starting to experience various alcoholism and alcohol abuse effects.
Based on the number of diseases, illnesses, and aliments that are indirectly or directly associated with alcohol dependency and chronic alcohol abuse, it is only logical to conclude that as increasing numbers of people begin to engage in excessive and abusive drinking, increasing numbers of people will experience the adverse effects of long term alcohol abuse and alcohol addiction.
While it seems that many people ignore the multitude of health problems that are correlated with abusive and hazardous drinking, it needs to be highlighted that many of the negative alcohol abuse and alcoholism effects can and do result in the loss of life. Examples include heart disease, hepatitis, pancreatitis, cancer, strokes, and cirrhosis.

Michael was a personal trainer who tried to walk the talk. That is, he not only knew how to get others to look physically fit, but he himself looked like he had exercised and worked out for years.
Due to the fact that he was into health and physical fitness, it did not take long at all for Michael to realize that his fairly regular happy hour visits to the local bar and involving himself in abusive drinking were affecting him in an adverse manner.
In a word, Michael noticed some unhealthy effects of alcohol in his life in spite of the fact that he only went to happy hour two or three times each week.
In his line of work, losing one’s energy and feeling sluggish are critical. So it didn’t take Michael very long before he totally quit drinking and began to feel his old energy return. Michael is one of the fortunate persons who does something positive when problems arise and who is in tune with his body.
