Introduction:
Alcohol is not the last one in the list of these destructive substances. It is
the “companion” of any significant event occurring in the life of modern
people or even an everyday way to relax and get away from all the
difficulties. People relax and forget that they are supposed to think not only
about their health but also about the health of the people around them.
This especially concerns women, as they are the ones to deliver the next
generation into the world. A woman’s organism is a lot more influenced by
any external chemical influences and alcohol becoming woman’s frequent
“companion” becomes a real threat for the health of the nation.
The contemporary medical world is very much concerned with the female
alcohol abuse phenomenon and the appearance of a group of inclinations
that both female and male abusers experience. Alcohol abuse is the giant
problem, which needs to be fixed desperately. It is very important to
understand its nature and the possible effects that it can make to the
human body.
After the process of drinking alcohol people start feeling pleasure and more
open to the outer world. Nevertheless, even though the person feels
comfortable and more self-confident the most dangerous thing is often
forgotten – alcohol’s side effects. If a person drinks large amounts of alcohol
in a very small period of time it may result in the person’s brain being
suppressed by the chemicals and lead to a fatality. If the amount of alcohol
in a human body is exceeding a person can die in his sleep, because the
body will not have enough resources to cope with the suppression. It is also
extremely dangerous to combine alcohol with other chemical substances.
The changes that occur in the human organism for the reason of alcohol
abuse are terrible. The whole body is damaged and the person stops being
able to either move and think properly.
The effect of alcohol throughout the period of human’s life is immense and
even the lesser amount of alcohol may cause some changes. These
destructive processes, which occur inside the organism, cause irreparable
damage that it made on the genetic level. Even “social drinking” causes
changes in intellectual and behavior activity of children . Heavy abuse,
causing disorders has nowadays become unbelievably widespread. All this
changes throughout the period the development of the alcohol dependency
cause mental disabilities and severe changes in the human body.
Physical changes
Very often it is said that alcohol heavy drinkers look the same. This
happens because in the first place all of them experience problems
with their skin. As the vessels of the skin widen, the blood flow to
the person’s face become more intensive. This is the reason people
who drink alcohol have a flushed skin color and constantly feel that
they are hot. Alcohol also often causes serious weight problem.
Mental changes
Alcohol does not let the brain properly control the manifestations of
the body, as the central nervous system becomes damaged
through the depression of the nerve cells in the brain. The cells
cannot respond to the impulses and a group of body function
failures appear: anesthesia, respiratory failure, coma and death.
