Alcoholism

Beers, wines, cider, liqueurs and spirits.

Alcohol poisoning is caused by consuming too much alcohol in too short a period of time. It is serious and can be fatal. Always obtain emergency medical help if alcohol poisoning is suspected.

No!

When scientists use the word alcohol, it refers to the chemical hydroxyl functional group. This means that the compound has a hydrogen atom attached to an oxygen atom which is then connected to a chain of carbon atoms. Nearly everything you eat is an alcohol in this sense except pure water. All saccharides (energy bearing molecules essential for human life) are sugar alcohols. The main sugar used for energy in humans is glucose, which has 5 alcohol groups on it compared to the single alcohol group on dichlorobenzyl alcohol. Glucose not named an alcohol because scientists in the past devised an arbitrary naming scheme that puts aldehyde groups above alcohols in naming and because simply saying glucose is easier than saying its full official name: (2R,3S,4R,5R)-2,3,4,5,6-pentahydroxyhexanal.

If you eat any meat, you can be sure it has cholesterol in it. Guess what? Cholesterol has an alcohol too. Your body will make cholesterol even if you consume 0g of it in your diet. The vital amino acids serine, threonine and tyrosine all have alcohol (hydroxyl) groups. Most vitamins have a hydroxyl group.

You cannot live without these compunds. What does this mean? It means absolutely nothing, because whoever wrote the kuran had absolutely no knowledge of any of this.

The alcohol referred to in that text refers to ethanol, which also has a hydroxyl group on it. Ethanol is special because of a specific reaction with the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase which produces metabolic byproducts causing the symtoms of common alcohol ingestion from alcoholic beverages. If you believe the Kuran, unless you want to kill yourself from starvation, you should only avoid ethanol alcohol - the one found in wine and beer etc.

So use your minds a bit. Im not a believer in god, but I have read the Kuran and I know it says seek true knowledge. Do your faith a little favour and dont accept ridiculous propositions before actually thinking about it. Always look for new information and use logic to guide you. Im sure its what your prophet or god wanted to tell you. Dont indulge in ignorance.

As for dichlorobenzyl alcohol, it is named an alcohol on the package because it is easier to read and understand than 2,4-dichlorophenylmethanol, which is its official scientific name under IUPAC.

The only commonality between this molecule and the conventional drinking alcohol is that they both have a specific arrangement of two atoms on a molecule. Their properties are entirely different aside from both oxygens having a weak propensity to donate the hydrogen atom to water in an aqueous medium.

The only drug that affects your blood alcohol content is alcohol.

take a shower! if that's not an option, spray yourself down with some febreeze. and you can try the ole' penny in your mouth trick or chew some gum and if that doesn't work just avoid whoever it is you are trying to hide the smell from.

Absolutely everything we ingest (except cellulose) gets broken down by enzymes in our guts. Alcohol is an exception. It is absorbed in the intestine, where it then makes its way to the liver. Here, the body uses the enzyme ethanol dehydrogenase to turn the ethanol to ethanal. This goes on to be concerted into useful substances.

Food eaten prior/during drinking alcohol merely slows down the rate at which the alcohol gets absorbed as the pumps that absorb the products of digestion from our diet may be more selective in taking up useful molecules such as glucose.

It's going to really depend on how much you've eaten that day and if you have an alcohol tolerance already (I'm guessing you might not), but it would only take 2-3 beers for you to feel intoxicated. Alcohol can make you do some seriously stupid stuff though, so hopefully you are 21...

There are several: the Greeks have two 1)Silenus, the God of beer. He is often featured as a bald, fat man, with a beer belly. He is usually associated with his buddy and a drinking companion, 2) Dionysus. Dionysus is known for being the God of intoxicating drinks like wine and beer. 3) Ninkasi, the Ancient Sumerian Goddess of beer and brewing. 4) Osiris, is the Ancient Egyptian God of agriculture is also known as the God of beer. 5) Aegir, the Norse God of the sea is also the God of beer and brewing. 6) The Aztec God Tezcatzontecatl, is the God of pulque, a fermented beverage made of century plant, and similar to beer. 7) Mbaba Mwana Waresa, is the Zulu Goddess of beer, the Zulu believed that she created the first beer for human consumption. 8) Yasigi, is also an African Goddess of beer, dance and masks. 9) Radegast, is the God of hospitality and mutuality; he is credited for the creation of beer in Czech mythology. 10) Baltic and Slavic mythology has two, Raugupatis is known as the God of fermentation. Raugutiene is Raugupatis partner and she is known as the Goddess of beer. 11) The Judeo-Christian God being the "One true God" should also be include in small part because of the Monks responsibility for fermenting knowledge during the Middle ages. Hope this helps.

Complex, for starters. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, intoxicant, analgesic and poison. Yes, alcohol is a drug. The question should be, What type of drug is it? A link to a site that addresses these questions can be found below under the heading of Related links.

By not abusing alcohol through consuming a great quantity in a short period of time.

People in Egypt drink tea, coffee, fruit juice, fanta, Schweppes, 7-up, coke, and water.

About 10% of all people (including those who do not drink) are considered problem drinkers - meaning that they have significant problems when drinking that they don't have otherwise. Many problem drinkers will quit drinking after a particularly embarrassing or troubling experience. The definition of alcoholic is tough to pin down, but it's thought that the alcoholic is the person who continues to drink even way after the costs outweigh the benefits. Of people who do drink, these are probably about 3%, but again this is a really tough question due to various understandings of what constitutes alcoholism, trouble identifying and classifying alcoholics, and the fact that it's a pretty controversial topic to start with.

Yes, before you drink you should eat carbohydrates. They slow down the absorption of alcohol in the bloodstream. You could also eat other foods, but carbs are definitely your best choice. A past experience taught me never to drink on an empty stomach. I hadn't eaten all day and drank a 40oz. Not knowing that this was a bad idea, about thirty minutes later it all came back up. Avoid drinking on an empty stomach if possible.

No that's gross😷😣😷😣😷😣

Rum. Some types of vodka. Some types of Soju.

No, but it will make you get colder. Alcohol causes the capillaries at the surface of the skin to dilate. This will cause you to lose body heat.

There doesn't seem to be any interactions listed. However, since it can potentially affect the liver, and alcohol is already hard on the liver, it is probably a good idea not to drink while taking it.

In the US, more teenage girls (by a small margin) tend to drink than do boys.

A standard drink is 0.6 ounces of pure alcohol, regardless of gender. The maximum recommended daily intake is two standard drinks for males, one for females (who tend to be smaller and who do not metabolize alcohol as efficiently as men due to lower enzyme levels).
