Alcoholism

Rachel, some doctors say that if you drink small amounts of alcohol in moderation and not too often, you and you're baby will be fine. But just recently I learned quite a bit of information about Fetal Alcohol Syndrome - and if there was ANY chance ... even a .000000001% chance it could harm my baby, after seeing what could happen, I wouldn't so much as take a sip. Of course, some women drink their entire pregnancy and their babies turn out fine. I just wouldn't want to be the woman who had to sit and wonder if my baby would be born without the bridge to its nose, or very short fingers, or missing a few toes or fingers, just because I had a few drinks during the time those things were developing. By the way, a 12 oz. beer and a 4 oz. glass of wine is the same thing as a 12 oz. shot of liquor. Protect your baby. Don't drink. If you're craving beer or wine, which many pregnant women report, try non-alcoholic beer or <a style='text-decoration: none; border-bottom: 3px double;' href="http://www.serverlogic3.com/lm/rtl3.asp?si=22&k=non%20alcoholic%20wine" onmouseover="window.status='non-alcoholic wine'; return true;" onmouseout="window.status=''; return true;">non-alcoholic wine</a>. I know it may not taste as great, but it will taste similar and may help to feed the craving the safe way. Hope this helped!

THE OLD SCHOOL of thought was a few drinks were O.K. NOW, they see problems for the child with small amounts of alcohol. DON'T DRINK ANY ALCOHOL WHILE PREGNANT<<<ADR>>>

Very bad. A person, depending on their physical health, can go at least three days without water. They can go a week without food. The first day, you'll get a fever. Second day, illusions. Third day, death.

It depends on who makes the test test very own what panels there testing for. You can find certain ones in particular go to CVS or any drug store or online and look at all the different test you can choose from.. Good luck

one

coz it damages dem. daaaaah

I am a 40yr old female in good physical health. I typically drink 3-4 glasses of white wine a day. I felt fine about this amount until I did some searching on the internet and found that the CDC and several other agencies label that as "heavy drinking" in a woman. I have talked to many people, and it seems like many people drink 1/2 a bottle of wine a day. I don't know who to believe...the general population or the CDC. :(

Drinking alcohol in moderation reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases by an average of 40%. Such consumption, especially done on a regular basis, improves blood profile and helps the circulatory system operate more easily and efficiently. In addition, moderate drinking increases the survivability of heart attacks.

When heavily abused over a period of many years, alcohol increases the risk of damaging the liver.

The main two organs affected when consuming alcohol is the heart and liver. The alcohol, when drunk, enters your bloodstream, therefore slowing down the heart. It then begins to pump blood slower. The liver works to break down the alcohol. If too much alcohol is consumed, the liver is overworked and may result in internal organ damage.

As the Alcohol is consumed by the Drinker, it flows down the throat and into the Stomach. From there it either is absorbed by the walls of the stomach or it goes to the small intestines (most likely). Then, the alcohol is absorbed by the intestines and goes into the bloodstream. It goes directly to the heart, where it is then pumped around to the whole body. It reaches the Brain and sends it damaging messages, then takes a path down to the Liver. From the Liver, it is processed and oxidated (burned up). The Body can only process 1/2 Ounces of Alcohol each hour. Alcohol is very dangerous for the whole body in many ways and is a harm to society.

Wine does not actually make you more "drunk" than another drink - it is just usually most don't realize how much alcohol is in the average drink of "wine." Most wines have an alcohol content of 9-14% alcohol by volume. Compare that to only 5% for beer. It's 2 to 3 times as much alcohol, so the same volume of liquid would make you 2-3 times "more drunk."

Euphoria and a possible feeling of dizziness (but you aren't really dizzy up to the point you won't be able to walk straight).

SOME English people druik until they drop for the same reasons that SOME people in just about every country do so: they lack the ability to control the amount they drink, once they begin to drink, or (in a very small number of cases) they simply choose to.

The level and rate of alcohol intoxication are dependent on the rate of alcohol absorption. Factors affecting absorption include gender, size, amount of body fat versus muscle, medications being used, and whether or not a person has an empty stomach.

If they have not yet become addicted, they are alcohol abusers. After they are addicted, they are alcohol addicts or alcoholics.

The principal constituents of addiction are a compulsion to use, rather than choice, and unpleasant effects when trying to stop, known as withdrawal.

No, alcohol does not prevent you from having a period, but it does thin your blood and can often make you secrete more blood.

ALCOHOL DEFINATELY STOPS MINE...ALBEIT TEMPORARILY UNTIL THE NEXT DAY

SAY.

yeah see i had a shitlot of alcohol last night and mine stopped, and i was on heavy as it was my first day. i was both worried and confused./

you sue the babysitter that drugged the bottle. Nahh...the question is why would anyone even own poison and keep it in the reach of a baby? Get them to a doctor pronto.

The length of time after you finish drinking alcohol that it will still be in your system depends on how much you drank and the period of time in consideration. Generally speaking, people metabolize alcohol at the rate of 1/2 ounce per hour (that's half an ounce of absolute alcohol -- or one "standard" drink) -- roughly equivalent to: 12 ounces of beer, 10 ounces of microbrew, 6 ounces of wine cooler (or hard lemonade), 1-1/4 ounces of 80-proof liquor or 4 ounces of wine. Therefore, if you consume three standard drinks -- regardless of how long it took you to drink them -- it would take you three hours to be completely free of alcohol. This should hopefully make it apparent that alcohol builds up in your body over time because the liver can only metabolize one an hour. That's why it is dangerous for people to "chug" alcohol or play drinking games. If you consume large quantities of alcohol in a short period of time, you can quickly get a toxic or lethal dose in your blood stream. Unfortunately, once it is absorbed from the gut (which occurs relatively quickly), there's nothing you can do to "get rid" of the alcohol except wait for it to be metabolized by the liver.

When you drink beer, the alcohol that initially enters your body needs to be broken down. This breaking down of the alcohol is done in the liver, which then distributes it into the blood stream. A drink every now and then is not going to be much of a problem, but if you abuse the alcohol, you can cause permanent damage to the liver and scarring. Alcohol abuse also leads to liver and/or colon cancer.

47%

Usually 0.3 - 0.5% not anywhere near enough for a person to feel intoxicated. Even if you drink 20 12oz cans, you will expel it faster than you can get drunk off it. Alcohol occurs naturally in sugary drinks as a process of the sugar being broken down.

Now as for sugar free drinks such as 7up it is added as a substitute to sugar as a sweetener. Again it is not possible to get drunk of this, and actually beneficial to ingest low amounts of alcohol as an antioxidant and its good for the circulatory system. Although, both those benefits are negated by the sugar, caffeine and other ingredients, few of which are any good.

Alcohol is just like any other drug it's effects are determined by a person's amount of consumption and their body weight. Most girls weigh less than guys. A person's tolerance plays an important factor also. It may take a regular drinker more than one drink to get drunk while it may take a person who hardly ever drinks only one drink to feel the effects of the alcohol.

Beer in reasonable amounts is healthy but you should supposedly not drink more then 15 beers a week, according to most popular belief that is the line between a normal person and a possible alcoholic.

This depends on what your asking, if its what are the worst tasting? then that is a matter of taste, my personal belief is that Everclear is the worst, along with expensive tequila, however if you mean which are the worst on the body.... then mixed drinks are the worst, they cause a far worse hangover, and are far more potent. However moonshine vodka is also very bad for you causing blindness in large quantities.
