Alcohol, like a poison, is recognized by many great poets, scientists, and most importantly - 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 incorrect. On average, one person has about 17 liters of pure alcohol. This amount a citizen drinks in one 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 the regular use of alcohol.
What happens to the body with the constant use of alcohol
After taking alcohol, a failure occurs in the system - stress for the body. It produces endogenous alcohol, which is responsible for the emotional state: love, joy, happiness.When artificial alcohol gets inside, all these emotional regulators fall asleep, and with constant alcohol consumption they atrophy. A mental breakdown begins: a person can no longer enjoy ordinary household things, he needs to increase the dose of alcohol in order to acquire at least a little pleasure in this way. This business is regularly engaged in moderately drinking individuals. For them, a holiday without alcohol is not a holiday.
Stages of degradation of people with constant use:
- At this step, a person gradually degrades. He can no longer perform simple household chores and cope with basic problems. This stage is called decompensation. After this comes the disease of alcoholism.
- At the last stage, a person does not understand anything except where to get money for alcohol. He is like a drug addict who is able to carry and sell household items and utensils in order to quench his alcohol thirst. Alcoholics justify themselves by the fact that they are not drunkards, but simply that they have a constant hangover.
Regardless of the status of people, famous people can also get sick with it. All due to the fact that they consumed alcohol every day, and in moderation. This is a clear sign that modern medicine is grossly mistaken about the benefits of alcohol.
The consequences of regular and correct drinking
From the point of view of medicine, alcohol should be drunk in the following norms: daily drink a glass of wine or a glass of vodka. You just need to add that this amount needs to 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, then accelerated aging will overtake him.After prolonged alcoholism, the human face becomes:
- in red;
- with protruding vessels;
- swollen;
- 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 just a poison for health, it also makes a person disoriented in society.His psyche is broken, has no personal guidelines and values. Can do shameful things in front of many people.
If you go deeper 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 worldview. In his eyes, the whole world is changing, and the gray days of the past acquire bright shades of colors. The right stream of thoughts begins. The mental emotional background is improving. Life becomes eventful, bright and happy.

A young organism spends all its energy to somehow keep itself in a normal state, but development at the same time 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 the harmful consequences, but in the event that alcohol consumption does not occur often. At a young age, intellectual development begins to slow down, and all vital organs are affected. After a short period of alcoholism, irreversible consequences may occur.

An advanced young man will never ruin himself in this way. You cannot get away from growing up, but the question arises - how will a teenager grow up 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 a lot of diseases and a spoiled psyche.

- for what period of pregnancy is the drinking of alcoholic beverages carried out;
- the daily consumption of alcoholic beverages during pregnancy.
The most damaging 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; in the initial stage of development, severe alcoholic consequences can also form.
