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. Although classified as a depressant, the amount of alcohol consumed determines the type of effect. Most people drink for the stimulant  effect, such as a beer or glass of wine taken to “loosen up.” But if a  person consumes more than the body can handle, they then experience  alcohol’s depressant effect. They start to feel “stupid” or lose  coordination and control. Alcohol overdose  causes even more severe depressant effects (inability to feel pain,  toxicity where the body vomits the poison, and finally unconsciousness  or, worse, coma or death from severe toxic overdose). These reactions  depend on how much is consumed and how quickly. There  are different kinds of alcohol. Ethyl alcohol (ethanol), the only  alcohol used in beverages, is produced by the fermentation of grains and  fruits. Fermenting is a chemical process whereby yeast acts upon  certain ingredients in the food, creating alcohol. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/nerd.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":nerd:" title="Nerd    :nerd:" data-shortname=":nerd:" /> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/nerd.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":nerd:" title="Nerd    :nerd:" data-shortname=":nerd:" /> Alcohol content> Fermented drinks, such as beer and wine, contain from 2% alcohol to 20%  alcohol. Distilled drinks, or liquor, contain from 40% to 50% or more  alcohol. The usual alcohol content for each is: Beer 2–6% alcohol                                                                                          Cider 4–8% alcohol                                                                                          Wine 8–20% alcohol                                                                                          Tequila 40% alcohol                                                                                           Rum 40% or more alcohol                                                                                           Brandy 40% or more alcohol                                                                                           Gin 40–47% alcohol                                                                                            Whiskey 40–50% alcohol                                                                                             Vodka 40–50% alcohol                                                                                           Liqueurs 15–60% alcohol <img src="http://img842.imageshack.us/img842/7917/page01image01whatisalco.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> DRINKING AND DRIVING> The risk of a driver under the influence of alcohol being killed in a  vehicle accident is at least eleven times that of drivers without  alcohol in their system. For most  people, these are only statistics—shocking, perhaps, but only  statistics. But for the families and friends of those who die as a  result of teenage drinking and driving, each number represents a tragic  loss. Alcohol distorts a person’s  perceptions and judgment. People under the influence of alcohol readily  admit their reaction time is slower than when not drinking, and they  take many chances they would never take when sober. Too often those  chances are fatal. <img src="http://img821.imageshack.us/img821/616/page05image01drinkingal.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Understanding how alcohol affects the body.. Alcohol is absorbed into  the bloodstream via small blood vessels in the walls of the stomach and  small intestine. Within minutes of drinking alcohol, it travels from the  stomach to the brain, where it quickly produces its effects, slowing  the action of nerve cells. Approximately 20% of alcohol is absorbed through the stomach. Most of the remaining 80% is absorbed through the small intestine. Alcohol  is also carried by the bloodstream to the liver, which eliminates the  alcohol from the blood through a process called “metabolizing,” where it  is converted to a nontoxic substance. The liver can only metabolize a  certain amount at a time, leaving the excess circulating throughout the  body. Thus the intensity of the effect on the body is directly related  to the amount consumed. When the amount of  alcohol in the blood exceeds a certain level, the respiratory  (breathing) system slows down markedly, and can cause a coma or death,  because oxygen no longer reaches the brain. <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" />SHORT-TERM EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/sorry.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":sorry:" title="Sorry    :sorry:" data-shortname=":sorry:" /> <img src="http://img190.imageshack.us/img190/6414/page14image01alcoholsho.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Depending on how much is taken and the physical condition of the individual, alcohol can cause: <ul style="text-align: left"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Slurred speech</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Drowsiness</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vomiting </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Diarrhea</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Upset stomach</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Headaches</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Breathing difficulties </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Distorted vision and hearing </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Impaired judgment </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Decreased perception and coordination </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unconsciousness </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Anemia (loss of red blood cells) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Coma</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Blackouts (memory lapses, where the drinker cannot remember events that occurred while under the influence) </li> </ul> <img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" />Long-term effects of alcohol<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /><img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/default/growl.gif"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":growl:" title="Growl    :growl:" data-shortname=":growl:" /> <img src="http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/1518/page15image01alcohollon.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> Binge drinking and continued alcohol use  in large amounts are associated with many health problems, including:   <ul style="text-align: left"> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Unintentional injuries such as car crash, falls, burns, drowning </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Intentional injuries such as firearm injuries, sexual assault, domestic violence</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Increased on-the-job injuries and loss of productivity </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Increased family problems, broken relationships </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Alcohol poisoning </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">High blood pressure, stroke, and other heart-related diseases </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Liver disease </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Nerve damage </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sexual problems </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Permanent damage to the brain </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Vitamin B1 deficiency, which can lead to a disorder characterized by amnesia, apathy and disorientation </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Ulcers </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Gastritis (inflammation of stomach walls) </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Malnutrition </li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Cancer of the mouth and throat ....</li> </ul></blockquote>
