Alcoholism

No. Your body doesn't realise it is being poisoned and take steps to remove it (i.e. by throwing it up) until a large amount of alcohol has already been absorbed into the bloodstream and transported to the brain.

The alcohol itself will be out by the next evening at the latest. The metabolites can last for several days. However, an EtG test also identifies the alcohol in hand sanitizers, mouthwash, and many other products used days earlier. This is a very common problem about which there have been official warnings.

Consuming alcohol in moderation contributes to good health and long life. However,

abusing alcohol and having an extremely high blood alcohol concentration (BAC) shuts down the central nervous system by stages, beginning with the executive functions of the cerebral cortex and ending with suppression of breathing, heartbeat and temperature controls.

Alcohol leaves the body at the rate of 1/3 to 1/2 ounce of pure alcohol per hour (about 1 beer, one class of wine, or one shot) no matter what you do. The only way to get rid of it is time.

Alcohol metabolites such as ETG, now the subject of some screening tests, can remain in your body for several days.

There is a difference between dependence and abuse. Someone taking a prescribed medication will often become physically dependent. If that is the case the doctor will taper the doses slowly down to avoid withdrawals.

Someone who is abusing alcohol or medications or drugs will come to rely mentally on the substance. People who are abusing a substance won't be able to take as suggested. They will take more often and for many reasons. Any reason will do sometimes. Usually it is to get loaded. Normal social drinkers don't ask themselves if they could be alcoholic and people who take their meds as described usually don't have a question of abuse in their minds. It's important to trust ones instincts. If the instinct says there may be a problem, then there may be. A doctor should be consulted in either case. There is no need for embarrassment as the doctor has seen it all before.

Intoxication temporarily affects the operation of the brain.

The alcohol that you drink goes into your bloodstream and affects you spine, brain, and organs. Which makes even simple things hard to do. Alcohol doesn't solve problems, it is actually one of the main causes for teenage suicides. It also causes hang overs (which are not pleasent) and weight problems because of all the calories. Remember, alcohol is also a very addictive liquid drug. It also affects your line of thinking, things are harder to remember and defects braincells. Be safe.

Alcoholism is a chronic illness, according to some. However, there is considerable debate as to whether or not alcoholism is a disease. Many physicians reject the disease theory of alcoholism.

There were approximately one hundred co-founders of Alcoholics Anonymous. Bill Wilson of East Dorset Vt and New York City - and Bob Smith of Akron, Ohio were the first two followed by Bill Dodsen of Akron and Clarence Snyder of Cleveland and on. Bill Wilson was sober for five months in 1934 when he went to Akron, Ohio for business. He was staying at a hotel and had a strong obsession to drink. He decided on having three drinks - no more. Right then and there he thought of what his sponsor, Ebby Thacher had tol dhim about helping others. In that isnstant the desire to drink was removed. he thanked God and commences to begin telephoning local clergymen in the area who might refer his services. He was referred to Henrietta Sieberling who referred him to Anne Smith who was married to an alcoholic doctor named Bob Smith. The following day he met Smith. They immediately began searching for others an subsequently recruited other alcoholics one by one many of whom were admitted in local hospitals. Alcoholics Anonymous grew person by person from then on to what it is today.

Alcoholism and drug addiction can, and usually does, affect the entire family. When someone is suffering from addiction, they basically become a different person and are unable to care about their family members, and themselves, in the way that they should. Sometimes family members try to help, but are discouraged when they can't change the mind of the addict. Family members need to get help just as much as the addict does. The family members can get help before the addict decides to get help. No matter what the situation is, someone's alcoholism and drug addiction affects everyone around the addict.

Consumed in moderation, alcohol reduces risk of cardiovascular disease and increases the length of life.

Consumed in excess, alcohol shortens the life of the drinker and causes many social problems. First there is the addiction. Alcohol makes the person's life unmanageable. Alcoholics have a hard time staying employed. Part of the consequences are artificial, just as when employers test for alcohol use. But alcoholism can lead to work-related absences and tardiness, irrational behavior, accidents, and errors in judgment. Problems keeping employment often lead to homelessness. Some alcoholics hit rock bottom. They sleep outside, beg for change, have body odor, and often have run-ins with the police. They might resort to petty crimes such as theft, trespassing, public intoxication, fighting, and related problems. They tend to have poorer health and have more hospital visits than others, and they tend to be uninsured.

Generally, you are talking about inflammation. This can be caused by an external injurious force (e.g. getting hit in the face), by an infection, or an allergic reaction. More likely than not, if you are unaware of anything happening to your face and it spontaneously starts to swell, chances are your body has come in contact with something you are allergic to (either by touch, inhalation, or ingestion). Simply try to figure out what substance is causing the irritation. If this is the case, you may try taking diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or using topical hydrocortisone cream, as these are both antihistimines, or can try placing a cold cloth over the area for about 15min. The cold will help relieve the inflammation, while the medicine(s) will help stop future histamine reactions. This is not normally an emergency unless you experience moderate/severe difficulty in breathing. Consult your doctor, if curious beyond that.

It depends on the individual. Females can metabolise less alcohol than males. 1 unit per hour for females, males can start with an extra drink but then work on one unit per hour. A unit is a standard glass of wine, a nip of spirits ...
