ALCOHOLAlcohol is a widely used substance for both science and in
technology. Its namecomes from an Arabic word al-kuhl meaning " a
powder for painting the eyes". The termwas later applied to all
compounds that contain alcoholic spirits. To most people alcohol is
considerd a downer that reduces activity in the nervoussystem. Some of
the things alcohol effects you is, the alcohol intoxicated person
exhibitslose muscle tone, loss of fine moter coordination,and often has a
staggering "drunken"gait. The eyes may appear somewhat "glossy" and
pupils may be slow to respond tostimulus. At high doses pupils may
become constricted. At intoxing doses, alcohol candecrease heart rate,
lower blood pressure and respiration rate, and result in decreasedreflex
and slower reaction times. Skin may be cool to touch but to the user may
feelwarm or normal, profuse sweating may accompany alcohol use.
Loose muscle tone, loseof fine motor coordination,odor of alcohol on the
breath,and a stagging "drunken"gait. The effects of alcohol
intoxication are greatly influenced by individual variationsamong users.
Some users may become intoxicated at a much lower Blood
AlcoholConcentration (BAC) level that I am about to show you. Along
with drinking their aredifferent levels to it:0.02-0.03 BAC: No loss of
coorination,slight euphoria and loss of shyness. Depressanteffects are
not apparent.0.04-0.06 BAC: Feeling of well-being, relaxation, lower
inhibitions, sensation of warmth. Some minor impairment of reasoning
and memory, lowering of caution.0.07-0.09 BAC: Slight impairment of
balance, speech, vision, reaction time, and hearing. Judgement and
self-control are reduced, and caution, reason and memory are
impaired.0.10-1.125 BAC: Signficant impairment of moter coordination
and loss of goodjudgement. Speech may be slurred; balance,
vision,reaction time and hearing will beimpaired. (It is illegal to operate a
motor vehicle at this level of intoxication.)0.13-0.15 BAC: Gross motor
impairment and lack of physical control. BLurred visionand major loss of
balance. Euphoria is reduced and dysphoria beginning to
appear.0.16-0.20 BAC: Dysphoria (anxiety,restlessness) predominates,
nausea may appear. Thedrinker has the appearance of a "sloppy
drunk."0.25 BAC: Needs assistance in walking; total mental confusion.
Dysphoia with nauseaand some vomiting.0.30 BAC: Loss of
consciousness.0.40 BAC and up: Onset of coma,possible death due to
respiratory arrest. WHAT IS CONSIDERED A DRINK:
A drink that contains a half-ounce of alcohol or more. The amount
you wouldproblibly find in a 12 ounce can of beer, 4 ounce glass of table
wine, 1 ounce shot of100% destilled spirits such as whiskey or vodka.
Generally this is the amount of alcohol aperson can metabolize in about
an hour. But of course it also depends on other stuff. The way to see the
amount of alcohol in someone is the Blood Alcohol Content.The Blood
Alcohol Content is measured in milligrams percent.For example, a BAC of
10 means that one-tenth of 1% of your total blood content isalcohol.This
means that a BAC of 0.5 and below may give you a little buzz;a BAC of
.50or greater may cause death. Blood Alcohol Content depends
on two things size,the bigger you are the moreblood you have to delute
the alcohol, and it also depends on how fast you drink it, thefaster you
drink the more your BAC goes up because your body doesn't have as
long todelute the alcohol.BINGE DRINKING Drinking a
lot of something at one time is not really good for your system, nomatter
what it is. Bringe drinking is drinking to get drunk, it is what a lot of
collegepeople do. Drinking at least five drinks all in one sitting. When
they do this the sideeffects become more serious: vomiting, dizziness,
impaired mental capabilities,andhangovers. Those are only short term
reactions, others things that binge drinkinginfluence are: athletic
performence, poor grades, sexual assault, fights, accidents,drinking and
driving, and other health risks. If you think that not a lot of people do this
,it is about 50% of collage men and 37% of collage women are classified
as bingedrinkers. A recent study show that studnts spend about $5.5
billion dollare on alcoholeach year. That is more than they spend on
soda pop, tea, milk, juice, coffee, and bookscombined. Some of the
things that go along with drink are you are more open to gettingdiseases
like sexually transmitted deseases, cancer and a lot more. But one that a
lot diefrom is alcohol poisoning. Most people think that you cant
overdose on alcohol, but you can. Binge drinkingmay result in an
overdose of alcohol, or alcohol poisoning. Alcohol poisoning is amedical
emergancy that requires immediate attention. It's sometimes hard to tell
ifsomeone has passed out or is in a serious medical danger. Here are
some of thesymptoms:-Does not respond to being talked to or shouted
at-Does not respond to being pinched,prodded or poked Cannot stand
up-Will not wake up-Slow labored or adnormal breathing-Skin has a
purple color-Skin feels clammy-Rapid pulse rate-Irregular heart
rythem-Lowered blood pressureAnother common thing is choking to
death on your own vomit after an alcohol overdose. Death by
asphyxiation occurs when alcohol depresses the body's reflexes to the
point thatyou cant vomit right. Another thing that comes along with
binge drinking is depression and suicide.You get depressed so you drink
and since alcohol is a depressant it brings you down evenmore it brings
you to the state of hopelessness. The toxic effects of alcohol
canmanipulate you brains neuro-transmitters, which are responsible for
mood andjudgement. This can plung you into deeper depression and
bring thought about suicide. It can also bring a cycle of drinking: the more
you drink the more depressed you become,and that makes you want to
drink more.Alcohol induced depression and hopelessness are
characterized by self-pity, socialwithdrawal, self reproah,a sence of
guilt,and a retardation of normal mental processes.FETAL ALCOHOL
SYNDROMEFETAL ALCOHOL EFFECTS Fetal alcohol syndrome is
a group of symptoms that can effect an infant born to amother who
drinks during her pregnancy. The most serious is severe mental
retardation.Other effects are:-mild to moderate mental retardation-central
nervous system problems-small size,low birth weight or growth
retardation-facial or skull adnormalities such as: small head size, small
eyes and/or short eyeopenings, under-development of the upper lip with
flat upper lip ridges, thin upper lipand flat maxillary jaw area. Fetal alcohol
effects are thought to be not as bad as Fetal syndrome. It may be
somethinglike a history of prenatal alcohol exposure. Learning and
behavior difficulties can be asevere as FAs. In both FAS and FAE,
studies show a positive relationship betweendegree of prenatal alcohol
exposure and physical birth defects, growth, brain andbehavioral
deficiencies. Some other things show that in not as severe cases of FAS
maydeal with maturity, abnormalities of the upper lip and small eye
openings, shortstuture,and small head continue. Brain and behavioral
deficits also continue includinglower IQ and a number of behavioral
disorders.Children with FAS and FAE are often described as hyperactive,
disstactible, orimpulsive. they often have short attention spans similar to
attention deficit dirorder, butwith lower IQ's particularly in the FAS child.
In addition to attention deficits, problemswith judgement, comprehension,
and abstract think are common. Some new researchsays that kids with
FAS and FAE are more vulerable to alcohol exposure.Another thing is
newborns exposed to alcohol before birth may have a weak
suckingresponce and irregular sucking patterns early in life. Some
describe them as easilydistracted and fatigued when sucking. Sleep
disturbance, and jitteriness have also beenreported in infants exposed to
alcohol before birth. Some studies also show that a higherincidence of
impaired vision and hearing, motor incoordination, and problem
withbalance are possible attibuted to alcohol use by the mother before
birth of the infant. Fetal exposure to alcohol can also result in adnormal
thyroid function and some decreasein the immune system effectiveness.
No one is sure the role alcohol plays on the fetus, some of the
possiblities are:-Acetaldehyde which is the primary product when alcohol
is metabolized;-fetal malnutrition especially if the mother is
undernourished. Even when she haseatenthe proper foods, the placenta
may not beable to carry yhese vitamins, minerals and othernutrients
which are so important to the developing fetus;-lack of oxygen due to less
blood flow to the fetus through the placenta; and-disturbance of
prostaglandins which control normal blood flow to the placenta.LIVER
DISEASE You can not live with out your liver, it is the biggest organ in
you body. Althoughyour organ is tough and meant for life it can easily be
damaged by alcohol.There are many types of liver disease shuch
as:-Viral hepatitis-Cirrhosis-Gallstones-Alcohol-related liver
disorders-Cancer of the liverBut there are three types of diseases of the
liver you can get from alcohol:- Fatty Liver-Alcoholic Hepatitis-Alcoholic
CirrhosisFatty liver this is the most common alcoholic-related liver
disorder, causing enlargmentof the liver, abdominal discomfort and
sometimes temporary jaundice and livermalfunction. Abinence from
alcohol can bring complete reversal and cure withoutleaving residual
cirrhosis.Alcoholic hepatitis is an acute illness often characterized by
nausea, vomiting,abdominalpain, fever, jaundice, enlarged and tender
liver, and an elevation of the white blood cellcount. Sometimes alcoholic
hepatitis may be present without symptoms. Once itdevelops, it
progresses to cirrhosis if alcohol comsumption continnues.Alcoholic
cirrhosis is permanent scar tissue, called cirrhosis, forms when the liver
cellsare damaged by alcohol or drugs. Continued use of alcohol will
cause additional scarringand serious health problems. Some people are
more culnerable than others to thisdisease, which occurs in 10% to 15%
of prople who consume large amounts of alcoholover a long period of
time.CANCERUPPER DIGESTIVE TRACT The strongest link
with alcohol involves cancers of the upper digestive
tract,including:-esophagus-mouth-pharynx-larynx.An estimated 75% of
esophageal cancers in the United States are attributable to
chronic,exessive alcohol comsumption. Nearly 50% of cancers of the
mounth, pharynx andlarynx are associated with heavy drinking. People
who drink large amounts of alcoholover time have an increased rick of
these cancers, compared with abstainers. If theydrink and smoke, the
risk is even higher.BREAST CANCER They say that woman's risk of
developing breast cancer increases with alcoholconsumtion, as well as
age. Particularly vulnerable are women over 50 who have beenheavy
drinkers over a period of years, their chances of developing breast
cancer are up to18 times greater than non-drinkers. Research indicates
that alcohol may play an indirectrole in this disease by increasing
estrogen levels in premenopausal women, whinh in turnmay promote
breast cancer. Thus, for younger women to lessen their risk of
breastcancer, dont drink, or at least limit yourself to no more than one a
day.SKIN CANCER Reserchers say that women who average only two
drinks a day, four days a week,are 2 1/2 times more likelt to develop
melanomia than women who dont drink. Expertsrecommend that women
limit themselves to one drink a day, and men two drinks a day.OTHER
CANCERS Some studies have found a link between alcohol use and
cancers of the:-colon-stomach-pancreas-lungs.Although theres no
evidence that alcohol itelf is a caracinogen, it has been associatedwith
suppression of the human immune systemALCOHOL Alcohol is a widely
