Alcoholism

When a person is under the influence of drugs he losts his mind and can't be sensible . The drugs are affecting our cerebrum ,where we are controlled. The addiction of drugs cause early death .The drugs makes our lungs to swell and our kidney to be inactive ..........But some suggest that a little drink is good for health.........

alcohol messes with blood sugars, sleep paterns, digestive enzymes....

It depends what kind of pills but most pills prescribed by a doctor such as pain pills taken with alcohal can seriusly hurt you or maybe even kill you.The best way to find out is to ask your doctor or pharmasist or read the bottle for some kinds of pills. If you are talking pills usually it will say on the bottle not to take alcohol with them. If it doesn't have a warning on the bottle you should be okay.

It varies with individuals. If a person is a moderate drinker (just a few each day ... cocktails every night, drinking with associates over deals being made, or several other drinks in the evening to relax they can still be classified as an alcoholic) then it may take years. If the person has been a heavy drinker for years the liver will be the first to go and that is usually the beginning of the end. It can take years, but it will catch up to the person. I have a friend I've known for 22 years (heavy drinker) and he's just been diagnosed with liver failure (not much they can do because his immune system is so low) and it's a matter of time before he passes away. It's very sad. A person that admits they are an alcoholic has made a giant leap in beating it. It's a must to go to AA and get support from the group and the person's mate can go to Alanon to learn how alcoholism occurs and how cope with their partner. There has been scientific studies that working with your doctor and taking larger doses of Vitamin B can help with the side effects of coming off alcohol. Going to the gym and working out also helps (after a complete physical from your doctor) and drinking lots of water. Exercise makes you perspire and helps with the toxins in your body and the water flushes it out. Good diet is another important thing. This may seem over-whelming to an alcoholic, but once they have admitted they are an alcoholic, join AA, work out, eat well and exercise it doesn't take long before they start feeling better. My friend has not touched a drop of alcohol thus eats better and has admitted he feels the best he's felt in years, but it's too late to make much difference.

Alcohol has a negative effect on the heart rate and thinking, perhaps also respiration. It makes the body and mind react slower. E.g if you have an overdose of alcohol your mind will lose control of your body and you can even have a nervous breakdown. Your heart will pump blood around much slower. This results in unclear thinking. As for respiration I don't know for sure but I think your body will respirate much less due.

When your doctor says it is OK. Not before.

Yes.

No, not at all.

Yes, alcohol abuse can put you in a coma in several different ways.

At high enough levels it will induce a coma by itself. It also can cause vitamin deficiencies that can affect brain function. It can cause other metabolic problems such as bleeding, pancreatitis, low glucose, electrolyte abnormalities, abnormal heart rhythms and other problems that can cause comas.

Alcohol in the body can only diminish with time... Drinking coffee or water will not help nor will sleeping.... Give yourself a few days and it should be out of your bloodstream by then

0.08% is the level in all 50 states to be considered legally intoxicated.

You may have a hangover while your body tries to get the alcohol out of your system. Drink more water.

The U.S. Federal Goverment, Department of Health and Human Services has established the definition of heavy drinking for women and men. For women it is considered more than one drink per day. For men, more than two drinks per day is heavy drinking. Hence, more than seven drinks a week for a female and 14 drinks a week for male are considered inappropriate, unhealthy, and heavy drinking.

Alcohol can cause all kinds of damage to the kidneys. These effects can range from cell damage and enlargement of the kidneys to alcohols' impact of the various hormones that control kidney function. Alcohol creates an ionic imbalance in the body that can negatively affect many metabolic processes

some short term effects include:

- feeling of relaxation and confidence and increases sociability

- dilates small blood vessels leading to flushing and feeling of warmth

with increasing amounts:

- judgment and concentration become progressively impaired

- violent behavior may occur

- speech becomes slurred and loss of balance occurs

- loss of consciousness

- risk of death from inhalation of vomit or stoppage of breathing

some long term effects include:

- severe liver disease including cirrhosis and liver cancer

- linked with coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, strokes and an increasing risk of dementia

during pregnancy:

- may cause miscarriage

- lead to fetal abnormalities

You should not consume alcohol while you are taking Flagyl or for at least three days after you have completed therapy, since the two can interact to cause serious side effects, including intense nausea, vomiting, headache, abdominal cramps, flushing, and a racing heartbeat. In some cases, these side effects may even lead to heart or liver damage.

Because you may be drinking to much in your spouse's opinion or drinking much to strong things. It could frighten your spouse when you come home drunk .... they may be angry that you are setting a bad example for your child.

Alcohol abuse like any drug that interferes with the workings of the mind and body. interferes with the workings of relationships. Alcohol makes a person selfish, and in some case downright mean, a person under the influence of alcohol tends not to able to care about the happiness of others and is unable to modify his/her own behavior to accommodate others. Heavy drinker are a worry to their family's as they tend to be irresponsible and make stupid and sometimes dangerous mistakes, many alcohol abusers become violent and make those near them feel endangered. While a person is under the influence of alcohol they are not strictly sane and this has a wearing effect on family friends and loved ones who as a result of their position cant get away from it. It is like being forced to live in a lunatic asylum without being able to get away.

No, only time.

Mel Gibson, Lindsay Lohan are two famous alcoholics.

-i think just sugar alcohol that is non addictive - its probably better to ask a doctor because the back of my cough drop package(over the counter menthol cough drops) say for under 3 years ask a doctor, so there may be some type of alchohal in it.

An "Alcoholic".

I don't think you can classify alcoholics as there are different levels of alcoholism, different reasons or issues for each individual, and each person is an individual. Alcoholics can certainly be demanding and selfish when it comes to actually drinking or wanting to drink. I realize their lives revolve around drinking but some are only to a degree and then some its their will to live but that's what makes them all different.

Depends on the state. However I think most or all are 21 years of age

I'm not sure I understand the question, but I'll try and give a complete answer and maybe I'll help. Ethyl glucuronide (EtG) is a urine testing procedure. It is designed to find out if the urine donor has been using ethanol (alcohol) over the past few weeks. It is commonly used as part of a rehabilitation program to help an alcohol abuser to stop using, by verifying that he/she is not relapsing and using alcohol. The only thing that makes EtG elevate is the use of alcohol. It does not test for anything else. There are no substances that "mess up" or interfere with the test.

one has alcohol and the other does not.
