Alcohol, as a poison, is recognized by many great poets, scientists and, above all, doctors. Despite this, there is a modern medical opinion that moderate doses are not harmful to the human body, but, on the contrary, are useful. But such a theory is considered wrong. On average, a person has about 17 liters of pure alcohol. This amount a citizen drinks in a year.
Why do 10% of accidents, robberies and the like occur and 40% end up in hospital wards for health reasons after a while? It's all the fault of regular alcohol use.
What happens to the body with constant use of alcohol
After taking alcohol, a breakdown occurs in the system - stress for the body. It produces endogenous alcohol, responsible for the emotional state: love, joy, happiness.When artificial alcohol enters, all these emotional regulators fall asleep and with constant alcohol consumption they atrophy. A mental breakdown begins: a person can no longer enjoy normal household things, he needs to increase the dose of alcohol to acquire at least a little pleasure in this way. This activity is regularly practiced by individuals who drink moderately. For them, an alcohol-free vacation is not a vacation.
Phases of degradation of people with constant use:
- At this point, a person gradually degrades. He can no longer carry out simple household chores and cope with basic problems. This phase is called decompensation. After this comes the disease of alcoholism.
- In the last stage, a person does not understand anything except where to get the money for alcohol. It is like an addict who is able to put up with and sell household items and accessories to quench his thirst for alcohol. Alcoholics justify themselves with the fact that they are not drunk, but simply that they have a constant hangover.
Regardless of people's status, even famous people can get sick. All due to the fact that they consumed alcohol every day and in moderation. This is a clear sign that modern medicine is seriously wrong about the benefits of alcohol.
The consequences of regular and correct consumption
From the point of view of medicine, alcohol should be drunk according to the following norms: drink a glass of wine or a glass of vodka every day. You just have to add that this amount must be divided into 24 hours a day, it turns out a few drops per minute.
If a person smokes and drinks at the same time, accelerated aging will overcome them.After prolonged alcoholism, the human face becomes:
- in red;
- with protruding vessels; swollen
- ; approximate
- ;
- in the last step is blue.
This phenomenon occurs due to the negative effect of alcohol on the vessels and epithelium of the skin. Internal organs are also subject to destructive effects.
Alcohol is not only a poison for health, it also makes a person disoriented in society.His psyche is broken, he has no personal guidelines and values. It can do shameful things in front of many people.
If you delve into the harm of alcohol on the body, then there are many diseases in the form:
- liver cirrhosis;
- premature aging;
- delirium;
- alcoholic encephalopathy;
- myocardial dystrophy;
- impotence;
- acute pancreatitis;
- neurotization and poisoning.
This is not a complete list of diseases associated with chronic alcohol use.
A person who has lived a couple of months without a drop of alcohol experiences new sensations in changing his view of the world. In her eyes, the whole world is changing, and the gray days of the past take on brilliant shades of color. The right flow of thoughts begins. The mental emotional background is improving. Life becomes eventful, bright and happy.
Why teens shouldn't drink alcohol
The harm caused by alcoholic beverages is known to all adults. Even a small amount of alcohol consumed will not cause serious harm to the celebration, because the adult body is able to cope with this ailment. But, for the child's body, the effect of double damage occurs.
The formation of a baby's body stops after a couple of decades. Statistics show that it is during these years that most young people start drinking alcohol. It is good if the child has just tried it and has drawn negative conclusions. But, worst of all, regular use becomes, after the first glass of alcohol, the teenager decided that nothing bad would happen from this.
During this age period, maturation begins to form: intelligence, intensity of body growth and puberty develops. At this age, you should play sports, eat right with the content of vitamins and minerals in food.
Under favorable conditions, the adolescent organism is formed correctly. But development slows down with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. At such an early age, alcohol has a detrimental effect on all organs and intelligence, and premature degradation occurs. A young organism spends all its energy to somehow maintain itself in a normal state, but at the same time development stops.
But even in such a struggle, the forces are not equal, because the teenager is not formed and the body does not have enough strength to cope with the consequences of alcohol. It is much easier for an adult to cope with harmful consequences, but in the event that alcohol consumption does not occur frequently. At a young age, intellectual development begins to slow down and all vital organs are affected. After a short period of alcoholism, irreversible consequences can occur.
Young people don't want to think about it, because alcohol is hazy and fun. At this time, it is necessary to intervene on parents who are obliged to talk about the dangers of alcohol. An advanced young man will never be ruined like this. You won't stray from growing up, but the question arises: how will a teenager grow up next? All dreams and ideas go downhill and, having matured, they begin to think: "why it was necessary to do this". In addition, they also acquire many diseases and a spoiled psyche.

But that doesn't mean you can drink alcohol in the first trimester; at the initial stage of development, severe alcoholic consequences can also form.

But gynecologists say there is no evidence that alcohol can negatively affect the fetus during pregnancy. Therefore, they allow a couple of drinks per week.
The Ministry of Health recommends completely eliminating alcoholic beverages during pregnancy, as well as for those women wishing to become pregnant. Despite medical research, it has shown that pregnant women can safely drink a glass of wine every week.
