Alcohol, like a poison, is recognized by many great poets, scientists and above all - doctors. Despite this, there is a modern medical opinion that moderate doses are not harmful to the human body, but on the contrary are useful. But, such a theory is considered incorrect. On average, a person has about 17 liters of pure alcohol. This amount that a citizen drinks in a year.
Why do 10% of accidents, thefts and the like happen and 40% end up in hospital wards for health reasons after a certain time? It's all the fault of drinking regularly.
What happens to the body with constant consumption of alcohol
After taking alcohol, a breakdown occurs in the system - stress on the body. It produces endogenous alcohol, responsible for the emotional state: love, joy, happiness.When artificial alcohol gets inside, all of those emotional regulators fall asleep and atrophy with constant alcohol consumption. Mental depression begins: a person can no longer enjoy the ordinary things in the house, he needs to increase the dose of alcohol to gain at least some pleasure in this way. This company is regularly engaged with individuals who drink moderately. For them, an alcohol-free vacation is not a vacation.
Stages of degradation of people with constant use:
- At this stage, a person gradually degrades. He can no longer do simple household chores and deal with basic problems. This step is called decompensation. After that comes the disease of alcoholism.
- At the last stage, a person does not understand anything except where to find money for alcohol. He is like a drug addict capable of carrying and selling household items and utensils to quench his thirst for alcohol. Alcoholics are justified by the fact that they are not drunkards, but simply that they have a constant hangover.
Whatever the status of people, famous people can also get sick. All because they drank alcohol in moderation every day. This is a clear sign that modern medicine is seriously mistaken about the benefits of alcohol.
The consequences of regular and correct consumption of alcohol
From the point of view of medicine, alcohol should be drunk according to the following standards: daily drink a glass of wine or a glass of vodka. It is enough to add that this amount should be divided into 24 hours a day, the result is a few drops per minute.
If a person smokes and drinks at the same time, accelerated aging will overtake it.After prolonged alcoholism, the human face becomes:
- in red;
- with protruding vessels;
- inflated; rough
- ;
- in the last step is blue.
This phenomenon occurs due to the negative effect of alcohol on the vessels and epithelium of the skin. Internal organs are also subject to destructive effects.
Alcohol is not only a poison to health, it also confuses a person in society.His psyche is broken, has no guidelines and personal values. Can do shameful things in front of many people.
If you delve deeper into the harms of alcohol on the body, there are many diseases in the form:
- cirrhosis of the liver;
- premature aging; delirium
- ;
- alcoholic encephalopathy;
- myocardial dystrophy;
- impotence;
- acute pancreatitis;
- neurotization and poisoning.
This is not a complete list of illnesses associated with chronic alcohol use.
A person who has lived a few months without a drop of alcohol experiences new sensations by changing their view of the world. In his eyes, the whole world is changing, and the gray days of the past acquire shades of bright colors. The right flow of thoughts begins. The mental emotional background improves. Life becomes hectic, bright and happy.
Why Teens Shouldn't Drink Alcohol
The harms of alcoholic beverages are known to all adults. Even a small amount drunk will not cause serious harm in the celebration, since the adult body is able to cope with this disease. But, for the child's body, the effect of double harm occurs.
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 to drink alcohol. It is good if the child has just tried and drawn negative conclusions. But, worst of all, regular consumption becomes, after the first drink of alcohol, the teenager decided that nothing bad would happen from this.
During this period of age, maturation begins to form: intelligence, intensity of bodily growth and puberty develop. At this age, you should play sports, eat well with vitamins and minerals in food.
Under favorable conditions, the adolescent organism is formed correctly. But the development slows down with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. At such a young age, alcohol has a detrimental effect on all organs and intelligence, and early degradation occurs. A young organism expends all its energy to somehow maintain itself in a normal state, but at the same time development stops.
But even in such a struggle, the forces are not equal, because the teenager is not trained and the body does not have enough strength to cope with the consequences of alcohol. It is much easier for an adult to cope with the negative consequences, but in the event that alcohol consumption does not occur 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 hazy and fun. At this time, it is necessary to intervene with parents who are obliged to talk about the dangers of alcohol. An advanced young man will never go broke like this. You will not escape the growth, but the question arises: how will a teenager grow up after this? All dreams and ideas degrade, and after maturing, they begin to think: "why was it necessary to do this". In addition, they also acquire many diseases and a spoiled psyche.
