Alcohol, like poison, is recognized by many great poets, scientists and most importantly - doctors. Nevertheless, there is a modern medical opinion that moderate doses are not harmful to the human body, but are, on the contrary, beneficial. But such a theory is considered incorrect. On average, one person has about 17 liters of pure alcohol. The citizen will drink this amount in a year.
Why do 10% of accidents, robberies and the like happen, and 40% end up in hospital wards after a while for health reasons? It's all the fault of regular alcohol consumption.
What happens to the body with constant use of alcohol
After drinking alcohol, there is a malfunction in the system - stress for the body. It produces endogenous alcohol which is responsible for the emotional state: love, joy, happiness.When artificial alcohol gets inside, all these emotional regulators fall asleep and atrophy with constant alcohol consumption. Mental breakdown begins: a person can no longer enjoy the usual household items, he needs to increase the dose of alcohol in order to gain at least a little pleasure in this way. This work is regularly done by people who drink in moderation. For them, a vacation without alcohol is not a vacation.
Stages of degradation of people with constant use:
- In this step the person is gradually degraded. He can no longer do simple household chores and deal with basic problems. This phase is called decompensation. After this comes the disease of alcoholism.
- In the last stage a person does not understand anything except where to get money for alcohol. He is like a drug addict who can carry and sell household items and accessories to quench his alcohol thirst. Alcoholics justify themselves by the fact that they are not drunkards, but simply have a constant hangover.
Regardless of people's status, celebrities can also get it. All due to the fact that they consumed alcohol daily and in moderation. This is a clear sign that modern medicine is grossly mistaken in terms of the benefits of alcohol.
Consequences of regular and proper drinking
From a medical point of view, alcohol should be drunk in the following norms: drink a glass of wine or a glass of vodka every day. You just need to add that this amount should be divided into 24 hours a day, it turns out a few drops per minute.
If a person smokes and drinks at the same time, they will be affected by accelerated aging.After prolonged alcoholism, the human face becomes:
- red;
- with protruding vessels;
- swollen;
- rough;
- in the last step is blue.
This phenomenon occurs due to the negative impact of alcohol on the blood vessels and epithelium of the skin. Internal organs are also exposed to destructive effects.
Alcohol is not only a poison for health, but it makes a person disoriented in society.His psyche is broken, he has no personal guidance and values. He can do shameful things in front of many people.
If you go deeper into the harm of alcohol on the body, then there are many diseases in the form of:
- liver cirrhosis;
- premature aging;
- delirium;
- alcoholic encephalopathy;
- myocardial dystrophy;
- impotence;
- acute pancreatitis;
- neurotization and poisoning.
This is not a complete list of diseases associated with chronic alcohol use.
A person who has lived without a drop of alcohol for a few months experiences new sensations in changing his worldview. In his eyes, the whole world is changing, and the gray days of the past are getting bright shades of color. The real flow of thought begins. The mental emotional background improves. Life becomes full of events, bright and happy.
Why teenagers shouldn't drink alcohol
The harm of alcoholic beverages is known to all adults. Even a small amount of drunken drink will not bring serious damage to the celebration, because the adult body is able to fight this disease. But there is a double damage effect on the child's body.
The formation of a child's body stops after a few decades. Statistics show that it is during these years that most young men start drinking alcohol. It is good if the child just tried and came to negative conclusions. But worst of all, taking the station regularly, after the first glass of alcohol, the teenager decided that nothing bad would happen from it.
At this age, maturation begins to form: intelligence, body growth intensity, and puberty develop. At this age you should play sports, eat vitamins and minerals in food.
Under favorable conditions, the adolescent organism is properly formed. But development is slowed by the consumption of alcoholic beverages. At such an early age, alcohol has a detrimental effect on all organs and intelligence and leads to early decomposition. The young organism expends all its strength to somehow maintain itself in a normal state, but at the same time it stops developing.
But even in such a fight, the forces are not equal, because the teenager is not formed and the body does not have enough strength to cope with the consequences of alcohol. It is much easier for an adult to deal with the harmful consequences, but in the case that alcohol consumption does not happen often. At a young age, intellectual development begins to slow down and all vital organs are affected. After a short period of alcoholism, irreversible consequences can occur.
Young people don’t want to think about it because alcohol is foggy and fun. At this point, it is necessary to intervene with parents who are required to discuss the dangers of alcohol. An advanced young man will never be ruined in this way. You will not run away from growing up, but the question arises - how will a teenager grow up after that? All dreams and ideas go downhill, and when they mature, they start thinking: "why was it necessary to do that". In addition, they acquire a lot of illness and a spoiled psyche.
