What part of body get detoxified under influence of alcohol?

Alcohol detox is not a treatment for alcoholism.

Alcohol detoxification is a process by which a heavy drinker's system is brought back to normal after being used to having alcohol in the body on a continual basis. Serious alcohol addiction results in a decrease in production of GABA, a reuptake inhibitor, because alcohol acts to replace it. Precipitous withdrawal from long-term alcohol addiction without medical management can cause severe health problems and can be fatal. After detoxification, other treatments must be undergone to deal with the underlying addiction that caused the alcohol use.

Can excessive alcohol intake cause internal bleeding?

If these begin to bleed, there can be catastrophic consequences.

4) Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves.

5) Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs.

6) Were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character.

7) Humbly asked Him to remove our shortcomings.

8) Made a list of all persons we had harmed, and became willing to make amends to them all.

9) Made direct amends to such people wherever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.

10) Continued to take personal inventory and when we were wrong promptly admitted it.

11) Sought through prayer and meditation to improve our conscious contact with God as we understood Him, praying only for knowledge of His will for us and the power to carry that out.

How do you know if you have a drinking problem?

When you cannot control your drinking, when you know you have had enough and still drink. You drink in the AM before work, you drink at lunchtime, dinner, evenings. You cannot let a day go by without a drink. You don't mean to but you ruin the holidays for your family and yourself when you are drinking, either you are a happy drunk or a mean drunk. You are mean and miserable when you are not drinking. You drink other family members bottle's of their special drink that they drink on occassion. You hide your alcohol. you abuse your family when you are drinking or not drinking. Every holiday is an excuse for you to drink even more, you drink to excess watching football games, you have no appetite. You may hit your children, wife and even your mother and father. You wreck your car, you have DUI's and still drive. You don't remember what you did or said, or deny you said it. anyone can tape an alcoholics conversation and play it back to them and they still will not believe they said it. You will reek of alcohol, people can smell it. You become a nervous wreck until you have a drink.

you can go by without a drink for a few days and say you will quit, but start drinking again. Drinking makes you feel better than you usually do when you are at work.

Their is also a binge drinker, these people go on binges and drink to excess at least once a week, they in turn usually have an alcohol problem.
