Alcoholism

When it is consumed excessively. Fortunately, when they consume too much alcohol, people tend to vomit. However, alcohol poisoning, although very rare, can occur.

Alcohol is metabolized by the liver, at the rate of about 0.6 ounces (14 ml) per hour of pure alcohol (assuming a healthy liver).

True, It can

Binge drinking over a period of decades increases the risk of cirrhosis.

Not from going without sleep. The alcohol will eventually kill you, though.

Alcohol is a depressant. It stops normal brain activity and if enough is taken into the body, then it can interfere with reaction time (such as driving), judgement, and at lethal levels suppresses the brain's signals to vital organs. This leads to the organs not working like they are supposed to and leads to a life threatening situation.

65% because their are a lot of teenagers who are not really responsible in those situation, some of the teenagers force other teenagers to drink alcohol

There appears to be absolutely no evidence whatsoever that the light or moderate consumption of alcohol by persons under the age of 21 causes any brain impairment or harm. Of course, that doesn't justify breaking any laws.

The evidence about teen drinking and potential brain damage comes from two sources. The first is from lab rats that are typically given very large doses of alcohol. The second is from studies of humans who are virtually always alcohol and/or drug dependent individuals. It's not surprising that large enough quantities of alcohol can impair brain development in rats and humans.

These studies never deal with light or moderate alcohol consumption among young humans. However, "natural experiments" on drinking among young people have been going on for thousands of years around the world.

In many societies most people drink and they begin doing so in the home from a very early age. Examples familiar to most people include Italians, Jews, Greeks, Portuguese, French, Germans and Spaniards. There is neither evidence or any reason to even suspect that members of these groups are brain impaired compared to those societies that do not permit young people to consume alcohol.

An alternative view: The brain contains nerve connections called white matter, that is still forming in the brains of children and young people up to about the age of 22. Alcohol interferes with the formation of the connections, and prevents the brain from developing normally. Exposing the brain to alcohol during these formative years also greatly increases the likelihood that the individual will develop addictions, especially alcoholism.

Yet another view: Alcohol usage by minors is illegal in the US and in many countries. The most problematic affect is getting arrested.

YEAH, HE HAD nickname of Captain Vodka- he snuck screwdrivers ( not the Hughes or Philipps variety) on the set of Captain Blood- in his canteen or thermos bottle- wow! Flynn was known to have a drinking problem, like Martin.

At extremely high levels the alcohol bodily functions slow too much for the body to live. That 's why it is essential to obtain medical help if alcohol poisoning is even suspected.

harry adlam is wierd

go and see a psychologist

Alcoholism is the most damaging drug you can take on a continuous bases. Among the most serious, life threatening are Cirrhosis of the liver, Pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreases), and stomach and esophagus's ulcer's. Most alcholics end up with diabetes, due to pancrease depletion. Throat cancer is also a threat, and sieziors from a sudden stoppage.

Depends on what treatment option he/she uses. Alcoholics and addicts stuff their feelings for as long as the drink/drug. All these come out when the alcohol/drug stops. With the help of a support group such as AA/NA life can become a joyous, fullfilling experience. Without help it can become a living hell for the addict/alcoholic and everone around them.

If you're an alcoholic and you're trying to quit, you might feel itchy. You might get diarrhea. You might have "the shakes."

Drinking alcohol soon after surgery is discouraged because alcohol thins the blood (which is good for the heart and circulatory system) but increases the chances of bleeding.

No. To the contrary, it is associated with better health and longer life than abstaining from alcohol.

Very little alcohol is excreted as sweat.

Blood Flow

An abstainer, teetotaler, or non-drinker.

Physical dependence on a substance is a physiological rather than a psychological dependence.

BAC, standing for Blood Alcohol Concentration, is the abbreviation commonly used to refer to the amount of alcohol present in a person's bloodstream.

Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) will rise temporarily.

Given the same quantity of alcohol consumed by people of the same gender within the same period of time, a larger person's BAC would be lower

It would be lower than that of a small person who consumes the same amount of alcohol under the same conditions (same gender, body mass index, stomach contents, etc.)
