Drinking Alcohol, advantages of alcohol, disadvantages of alcohol, when to stop drinking.

WHAT IS ALCOHOL?
👉Alcohol is a drug.It is classed as a depressant, meaning that it slows down vital functions—resulting in slurred speech, unsteady movement, disturbed perceptions and an inability to react quickly.

As for how it affects the mind, it is best understood as a drug that reduces a person’s ability to think rationally and distorts his or her judgment.

DEFINE MODERATE DRINKING?

Moderate alcohol use for healthy adults generally means up to one drink a day for women and up to two drinks a day for men.

Examples of one drink include:

Beer:  355 milliliters

Wine: 148 milliliters

Distilled spirits (80 proof): 44 milliliters.

ADVANTAGES OF MODERATE DRINKING

Moderate alcohol consumption may provide some health benefits, such as:

Reducing your risk of developing and dying of heart disease.

Possibly reducing your risk of ischemic stroke (when the arteries to your brain become narrowed or blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow).

Possibly reducing your risk of diabetes.

DISADVANTAGES OF ALCOHOL DRINKING

Certain cancers, including breast cancer and cancers of the mouth, throat, esophagus and liver.

Pancreatitis.

Sudden death if you already have cardiovascular disease.

Heart muscle damage (alcoholic cardiomyopathy) leading to heart failure.

Stroke.

High blood pressure.

Liver disease.

Suicide.

Accidental serious injury or death.

Brain damage and other problems in an unborn child.

Alcohol withdrawal syndrome.


YOU MUST AVOID ALCOHOL IN GIVEN SITUATIONS.


In certain situations, the risks of alcohol may outweigh the possible health benefits. For example, check with your doctor about drinking if:

You're pregnant or trying to become pregnant.

You've been diagnosed with alcoholism or alcohol addiction, or you have a strong family history of alcoholism.

You've had a hemorrhagic stroke (when a blood vessel in your brain leaks or ruptures).

You have liver or pancreatic disease.

You have heart failure or you've been told you have a weak heart.

You take prescription or over-the-counter medications that can interact with alcohol.
