Alcoholism

in college i read about a man who had throat surgery and was an alcoholic he had an idea to pump alcohol into his bowels using an enema pump his blood alcohol raised about 4.7 and he passed away with 20 minutes since the skin inside the rectum is so thin, you can kill yourself with one injection -doent matter the kind or the proff, because the blood has no way to filter it all blood in the human body goes directly to the heart to be cleaned and pumped back ....the waste goes into your kidneys and comes out as pee,so a direct hit of alcohol would kill you and it would burn and hurt like hell, like rubbing salt in an open wound, like snoring salt up you nose, it will kill you with in 30 minutes or less that not enough time to call 911 or even get to the hospital.dont be stupid put the syringe down and go find something constructive to do like cooking or painting or poetry or dance.

Physical dependence is the withdrawls you have when you stop using, emotional dependence is the mental obsession and compulsion to keep using. Check out narcoticsannonymous.org if you believe you have dependency issues or research al-anon if someone you love is struggling with dependency

Alcohol affects judgment by interfering with neurotransmitters in the synapses of the brain

particularly in the frontal lobe of the brain which controls judgment.

The messages then don't get properly sent and computed in the brain, therefore causing the person to make bad decisions they normally would not make.

Yes, alcohol is a legal drug. Anything that affects the body's functioning is a drug. Thus, salt, caffeine, vitamins, and many more things are drugs.

Both alcohol and crystal meth can be neurotoxic and lead to the death of brain cells. However, crystal meth is generally considered to be more neurotoxic than alcohol, as it can cause more damage to the brain and potentially lead to more severe cognitive impairments.

Shock or other trauma can reduce the absorption of alcohol into the blood.

As a general rule of thumb, the major metabolite in alcohol, can be detected in your blood for up to 24 hours and as gross as it sounds...in your urine for up to 48 hours.

There are a number of things about what you drink that can vary these figures, including:

* Strength of the drink

* Quantity consumed

* How it is consumed

* Frequency of your drinking

* The presence of other drugs

* Your mood and environment of use

Other factors specific to you include:

* your tolerance

* your sex and age

* your overall health & well-being

* your general metabolic state

These variables all interact to make it hard to accurately define a time when it will be out of your system.

Alcohol can reach the brain within minutes after being ingested, as it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the lining of the stomach and small intestine. The effects of alcohol on the brain can be felt quickly, though the full impact can vary based on factors like the amount consumed and an individual's tolerance.

Alcohol is primarily eliminated from the blood stream through the liver, where it is metabolized into acetaldehyde and then further broken down into acetic acid. Approximately 90% of alcohol is eliminated through the liver, with the remainder being eliminated through breath, urine, and sweat. Time is the most effective way for alcohol to be completely eliminated from the body.

Alcohol can typically be detected in a urine drug screen for up to 12-24 hours after consumption. However, this can vary depending on factors such as the amount of alcohol consumed, individual metabolism, and hydration levels.

The amount of alcohol in a person's blood is measured by their blood alcohol concentration (BAC). BAC is calculated as a percentage of alcohol in the blood by weight. It is used as a standard measure to determine a person's level of intoxication. In most countries, a BAC of 0.08% is considered the legal limit for driving under the influence.

Extended alcohol abuse can cause blood conditions including several forms of anemia and blood clotting abnormalities. These conditions could result in susceptibility to bleeding and bruising. Prolonged alcohol abuse can also impair white blood cell function and this makes the abuser more likely to become infected.

Drinking alcohol in moderation promotes good heart and cardiovascular health by improving blood profile. for example, it increases HDL ("good" cholesterol), reduces LDL ("bad" cholesterol), and improves cholesterol particle size.

It decreases dangerous blood clots (thrombosis) by reducing platelet aggregation, reducing fibrinogen, and increasing fibrinolysis. And it reduces coronary artery spasms,reduces blood pressure, reduces blood insulin levels, and increases coronary blood flow.

30% of however much you drank...

e.g. You drank a 50ml shot of 60 proof = 15ml of 'pure' alcohol

Alcohol reaches the brain within minutes of consumption, as it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream through the walls of the stomach and small intestine. The effects of alcohol on the brain can be felt within 5 to 10 minutes of consumption.

Difficulty walking, blurred vision, slurred speech, slowed reaction times, impaired memory: Clearly, alcohol affects the brain.We do know that heavy drinking may have extensive and reaching effects on the brain, ranging from simple "slips" in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care.

A blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of 0.03% is well below the legal limit for driving in most places, which is typically 0.08%. The exact amount of alcohol needed to register a BAC of 0.03% on a breathalyzer can vary based on factors such as weight, metabolism, and time elapsed since drinking, but it may be reached with consumption of about one standard drink for many individuals.

yes it gives a false sence or warmth when it auctually lowers the body temperature, making it easier to freeze to death in colder climates,the rush of hot that you feel is the allergic reaction-everyone has an allergic reaction to alcohol that what makes us drunk.

The concentration of ethanol in serum is approximately equal to the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) because serum and blood have similar ethanol levels. To convert serum ethanol concentration to BAC, simply use the serum ethanol concentration as the BAC value. For example, if the serum ethanol concentration is 100 mg/dL, then the BAC would also be considered as 100 mg/dL.

Withdrawal symptoms if no alcohol is consumed for a long enough period of time.

A factor that could cause a difference in the concentration of alcohol in their blood is their body weight. If Bob weighs more than Tim, the alcohol may be distributed in a larger volume of body water, resulting in a lower concentration of alcohol in Bob's blood compared to Tim's.

Support groups like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Al-Anon are available to help alcoholics and their families. AA provides support for individuals struggling with alcohol addiction, while Al-Anon offers support for family members and friends affected by someone's alcoholism. Both groups offer a safe space for sharing experiences and providing mutual support.

Milk contains natural sugars that can stimulate thirst in some individuals, similar to other beverages like juice or soda. However, milk also has hydrating properties due to its high water content. Overall, whether or not milk makes you thirsty can vary from person to person.

The shelf life of alcohol varies depending on the type and alcohol content. Generally, spirits like whiskey or vodka can last indefinitely if stored properly. However, liqueurs and lower-proof alcohols may lose their flavor and quality over time. It is best to check the bottle for any signs of spoilage before consuming.

How do you trust what you read or hear? I find it so interesting how many people speak what they think but not what they know. The fact is Yes, it is possible. Tolerance has a lot to do with how high your blood alcohol level may get. We work with many people who easily surpass .40 . In fact we have had clients above a .70 . Just remember tolerence is not an ability but a liability.

"No chance, you would be dead long before that. Drinkers take note!!!.At 0.2 you are well into the danger zone, some will die before 0.3 , and few will recover at 0.35 and then with serious brain damage.This about a quarter of the level of your question"
