What is the difference between alcohol addiction and nicotine addiction?
For practical purposes none, except you are somewhat less likely to take other people with you if you just smoke.
The biggest difference is in the degree of lethality. Alcoholics who continue to drink will eventually die of alcohol-related causes. Smokers may not develop obvious smoking-related complications (although they are likely to do so), but it will inevitably reduce their quality of life, and on average will shorten it by about ten years.
Describe the effects that alcohol has on the body?
Alcohol has stimulating, depressing and mood altering functions that leave practically no circuit or system of the brain untouched. This range of effects is what sets alcohol apart from many other drugs.
It acts as a stimulant when it directly stimulates those brain cells, which lead to feelings of pleasure and euphoria. It is a depressant when it slows the brain down and reduces tensions and worries. It can affect your judgment and make us things you would not usually do when sober. Alcohol acts as an anaesthetic when it shows down your reflexes and your coordinates. It can put you to sleep , it can induce a coma and it can kill.
Alcohol's effects are dose related -the more alcohol you drink, the greater the effects that may occur.

Does gender effect the amount of alcohol in the blood?
Indirectly. Blood alcohol content (BAC) is always dependent on how much you drink. However, women do not produce as much of the enzyme that metabolizes alcohol in the liver. That means that their BAC will become higher and remain high longer than a male for a given amount of drinking, as the liver will not be able to remove it as efficiently.
This also means that women who drink heavily tend to develop advanced alcoholism sooner than men, and die sooner if they continue to drink.

When should you stop alcohol intake before a physical?
It's best to stop drinking entirely. A few glasses here and there never hurt anybody but if your worried about a physical I would stop drinking 24 hours before. It takes longer than that for all of your past alcohol to pass but I would recommend at least 24 hours. Alcoholism, also known as "alcohol dependence", is a disease that includes these symptoms: * Craving: A strong need, or compulsion to drink, that the ability to choose not to drink seems to have disappeared -- "will power" is futile. * Obsession: An overwhelming thought of alcohol and obtaining or maintaining a personal supply, which blocks someones ability to engage in other activities. * Loss of control: The inability to limit one's drinking on any given occasion. * Physical dependence: Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, occur when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking. * Tolerance: The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to feel comfortable in one's surroundings.
People who are not alcoholics sometimes do not understand why an alcoholic can't just "use a little willpower" to stop drinking. However, alcoholism has little to do with willpower. Alcoholics are in the grip of a powerful "craving" or uncontrollable need for alcohol, and this simply overrides their ability to choose to stop drinking. This need can be as strong as the need for food or water.

How does alcohol affect the pharynx?
Alcohol is a very harsh chemical - it actually contains poisons, which is why alcoholics eventually die of liver failure after it builds up in their body for long enough! People who drink a lot almost always have irritated throats (pharynx and esophagus), stomachs, and intestines. They suffer from ulcers and chronic heartburn. The only way to really treat this is to drink in moderation - one normal-sized drink every day or so does not hurt you, and gives your body time to get rid of the poisons before you drink more.
