Alcohol, as a poison, is recognized by many great poets, scientists and, most importantly, by doctors. Despite this, there is a modern medical opinion that moderate doses are not harmful to the human body, but on the contrary, they are useful. But such a theory is considered wrong. On average, a person has about 17 liters of pure alcohol. This amount drinks a citizen in a year.
Why do 10% of accidents, robberies and the like happen, 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 the constant use of alcohol?
After drinking alcohol, a failure occurs in the system: stress to the body. It produces endogenous alcohol, which is 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 everyday things at home, he needs to increase the dose of alcohol in order to acquire at least a little pleasure in this way. This business is regularly dedicated to people who drink moderately. For them, a vacation without alcohol is not a vacation.
Stages of degradation of people with constant use:
- In this step, a person gradually degrades. You can no longer do simple housework and deal with basic problems. This stage is called decompensation. After this comes the disease of alcoholism.
- In the last stage, a person does not understand anything except where to get money for alcohol. He is like a junkie who can carry and sell household items and utensils to quench his thirst for alcohol. Alcoholics justify themselves by the fact that they are not drunk, but simply because they have a constant hangover.
Regardless of people's status, famous people can get sick too. All due to the fact that they consumed alcohol every day and in moderation. This is a clear sign that modern medicine is very wrong about the benefits of alcohol.
The consequences of drinking regularly and correctly
From the point of view of medicine, alcohol should be drunk according to the following rules: drink a glass of wine or a glass of vodka daily. You just need to add that this amount should be divided into 24 hours a day, a few drops per minute turn out.
If a person smokes and drinks at the same time, accelerated aging will overtake it.After prolonged alcoholism, the human face becomes:
- in red;
- with outgoing glasses;
- bloated;
- rough;
- 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 health poison, it also disorients a person in society.His psyche is broken, he has no personal guidelines or values. You can do embarrassing things in front of a lot of people.
If you delve into the damage of alcohol in 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 for a couple of months without a drop of alcohol experiences new sensations by changing his view of the world. In his eyes, the whole world is changing, and the gray days of the past take on brilliant shades of color. The correct stream of thoughts begins. The emotional mental background is improving. Life becomes eventful, bright and happy.
Why Teens Shouldn't Drink Alcohol
All adults know the harm of alcoholic beverages. Even a small amount drunk will not cause serious harm in the celebration, because the adult body can cope with this ailment. But, for the child's body, the effect of double damage occurs.
The formation of a child's body stops after a couple of decades. Statistics show that it is during these years that most young men start drinking alcohol. It is good for the child to try and draw negative conclusions. But worst of all, regular use means that after the first glass of alcohol, the teenager decided that nothing bad would happen with this.
During this age period, maturation begins to form: intelligence, intensity of body growth and puberty develops. At this age, he should play sports, eat well with vitamins and minerals in food.
Under favorable conditions, the adolescent organism is properly formed. But development slows down with the consumption of alcoholic beverages. At such a young age, alcohol has a detrimental effect on all organs and intelligence, and early breakdown occurs. A young organism expends all its forces to somehow maintain a normal state, but development stops at the same time.
But even in a fight like this, the forces are not equal, because the adolescent is not formed and the body is not strong enough to cope with the consequences of alcohol. It is much easier for an adult to cope with the harmful consequences, but in the event that alcohol consumption does not occur frequently. At an early 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 foggy and fun. At this time, it is necessary to intervene with parents who are obliged to talk about the dangers of alcohol. An advanced young man will never be ruined in this way. He will not stop growing, but the question arises: how will a teenager grow after that? All dreams and ideas go downhill, and having matured, they begin to think: "Why was it necessary to do this? "In addition, they also acquire many illnesses and a spoiled psyche.

- If the mother is drinking, in the future this will affect the deviation of the child's nervous system, as well as the coordination of movements will be affected and the learning capacity will be impaired. The pathology will remain for life.
- If internal development with abnormalities that were later caused by drunkenness, then this is called PRA - "alcoholic disorder of the fetus". The term defines the mass of congenital disorders of various degrees.
- In the case of TSA - "fetal alcohol syndrome", there are disorders in the structure of the face. This is a very difficult case. The fruit is low in weight and height, and its development practically stops.

Dangers of alcohol during pregnancy
The threat level of alcohol to the developing fetus consists of several factors:
- the amount of alcohol consumed during pregnancy;
- during what period of pregnancy the consumption of alcoholic beverages takes place;
- the daily consumption of alcoholic beverages during pregnancy.
The most harmful effects can occur when drinking alcohol in the last third trimester. During this period, the fetus begins to actively develop, especially the baby's brain. But this does not mean that you can drink alcohol in the first trimester; at the initial stage of development, serious alcoholic consequences can also form.
Competent experts cannot give a definitive answer about the dangers of alcohol during pregnancy. They recommend eliminating alcoholic beverages completely. But gynecologists say there is no evidence that alcohol can adversely affect the fetus during pregnancy. Therefore, they allow a couple of drinks a week.
The Ministry of Health recommends completely eliminating alcoholic beverages during pregnancy, as well as for those women who wish to become pregnant. Despite medical research, which showed that pregnant women can safely drink a glass of wine each week.
If, without knowing about pregnancy, you drink alcoholic beverages, what this can lead to
Most women can drink alcohol without knowing about their pregnancy, this phenomenon occurs very frequently. If the use was rare until the time the woman found out about her pregnancy, then perhaps no pathologies will occur.
Most of them can get pregnant under the influence of alcohol, children in this case are also born quite healthy. It all depends on the health of the body, for some it is stronger and for others it is weaker. It is important to completely abandon this when a pregnancy has been identified.

During a period of rejection, you should not be in the company of people who drink, this temptation will only involve you again in harmful activity.
