Disadvantage of Alcohol

 

Alcohol is harmful to the people of several disadvantages. The first of all drinking alcohol people lost a lot of money, they have to spend either their own or can’t find out more because drinking alcohol they waste the time to sit and talk with friends from start until finish. The second drinking a lot of alcohol is very dangerous for health, it can destroy stomach, lung, liver, and heart and it also attacks the brain, when they are older the memories will be lower- down than non-drinking. By away when they are drunk we can’t think something quickly or think to find the solution especially when they get into a problem. The brain’s ceil will be cut down from time to time. After drinking too much alcohol also reduces energy and anti-virus that are easy to attack by the disease. The third alcohol is a fire to bring conflict to people, sometimes violence happen between friend and friend, family and family, wife and husband, they have no self-confidence and can’t control their feelings seem stronger and stronger and dare to hit each other or fight wife and children (as one word say that alcohol can bring to the war without commitment) so the family will lose the reputation in the society and children forced to drop out of school easily then go to find out money to support family in tread of parents. It also brings stability to the country, people dare to kill each other, kill parents or wife (when woman drunks dare to do something different from the traditional or morality) because of money. So the security will be difficult to control the country than usual and there will be many thieves they drink at mostly in daily, so they can’t control feeling then go to steal something possible for the money. The fourth as you know that nowadays almost every accidence happen because of the alcohol when people drunk they dare to break the traffic law drive or ride motorbike very fast without self-controlling, they think they don’t drunk and want to show boastful so it is easy to get accidence and die without condition, that occur sadness to family and left a lot of widow and nonparents children it is very difficult case for the family to deal with. In conclusion, as we know, there are a lot of disadvantages of alcohol that obstruct and destroy all people goal in life. So we are a new generation people we have to get away from this kind of drug just we can live in longer life without injury from the disease  and can develop our country as one sentence say that (If  we want to develop the country we have to develop the people first, when people don’t drink alcohol they will not attack or in order of the external disease, they realize everything and have the vision to invent through the technology as other developing countries in the world and this message also ask the government to cut down producing the and drinking alcohol in our country.

Anemia

Heavy drinking can cause the number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells to be abnormally low. This condition, known as anemia, can trigger a host of symptoms, including fatigue, shortness of breath, and lightheadedness.

Cancer

Habitual drinking increases the risk of cancer," says Jurgen Rehm, Ph.D., chairman of the University of Toronto's department of addiction policy and a senior scientist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, also in Toronto. Scientists believe the increased risk comes when the body converts alcohol into acetaldehyde, a potent carcinogen. Cancer sites linked to alcohol use include the mouth, pharynx (throat), larynx (voice box), esophagus, liver, breast, and colorectal region. Cancer risk rises even higher in heavy drinkers who also use tobacco.

Cardiovascular disease

Heavy drinking, especially bingeing, makes platelets more likely to clump together into blood clots, which can lead to heart attack or stroke. In a landmark study published in 2005, Harvard researchers found that binge drinking doubled the risk of death among people who initially survived a heart attack.

Heavy drinking can also cause cardiomyopathy, a potentially deadly condition in which the heart muscle weakens and eventually fails, as well as heart rhythm abnormalities such as atrial and ventricular fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation, in which the heart's upper chambers (atria) twitch chaotically rather than constrict rhythmically, can cause blood clots that can trigger a stroke. Ventricular fibrillation causes chaotic twitching in the heart's main pumping chambers (ventricles). It causes rapid loss of consciousness and, in the absence of immediate treatment, sudden death.

Cirrhosis

Alcohol is toxic to liver cells, and many heavy drinkers develop cirrhosis, a sometimes-lethal condition in which the liver is so heavily scarred that it is unable to function. But it's hard to predict which drinkers will develop cirrhosis. "Some people who drink huge amounts never get cirrhosis, and some who don't drink very much do get it," Saitz says. For some unknown reason, women seem to be especially vulnerable.

Dementia

As people age, their brains shrink, on average, at a rate of about 1.9% per decade. That's considered normal. But heavy drinking speeds the shrinkage of certain key regions in the brain, resulting in memory loss and other symptoms of dementia.
Heavy drinking can also lead to subtle but potentially debilitating deficits in the ability to plan, make judgments, solve problems, and perform other aspects of "executive function," which are "the higher-order abilities that allow us to maximize our function as human beings," Garbutt says.
In addition to the "nonspecific" dementia that stems from brain atrophy, heavy drinking can cause nutritional deficiencies so severe that they trigger other forms of dementia.

Depression

It's long been known that heavy drinking often goes hand in hand with depression, but there has been the debate about which came first -- the drinking or the depression. One theory is that depressed people turned to alcohol in an attempt to "self-medicate" to ease their emotional pain. But a large study from New Zealand showed that it was probably the other way around -- that is, heavy drinking led to depression.
Research has also shown that depression improves when heavy drinkers go on the wagon, Saitz says.

Seizures

Heavy drinking can cause epilepsy and can trigger seizures even in people who don't have epilepsy. It can also interfere with the action of the medications used to treat convulsions.

Gout

A painful condition, gout is caused by the formation of uric acid crystals in the joints. Although some cases are largely hereditary, alcohol and other dietary factors seem to play a role. Alcohol also seems to aggravate existing cases of gout.

High blood pressure

Alcohol can disrupt the sympathetic nervous system, which, among other things, controls the constriction and dilation of blood vessels in response to stress, temperature, exertion, etc. Heavy drinking -- and bingeing, in particular -- can cause blood pressure to rise. Over time, this effect can become chronic. High blood pressure can lead to many other health problems, including kidney disease, heart disease, and stroke.

Infectious disease

Heavy drinking suppresses the immune system, providing a toehold for infections, including tuberculosis, pneumonia, HIV/AIDS, and other sexually transmitted diseases (including some that cause infertility). People who drink heavily also are more likely to engage in risky sex. "Heavy drinking is associated with a three-fold increase in the risk of contracting a sexually transmitted disease," Rehman says.

Nerve damage

Heavy drinking can cause a form of nerve damage known as alcoholic neuropathy, which can produce a painful pins-and-needles feeling or numbness in the extremities as well as muscle weakness, incontinence, constipation,
 erectile dysfunction, and other problems. Alcoholic neuropathy may arise because alcohol is toxic to nerve cells, or because of nutritional deficiencies attributable to heavy drinking compromise nerve function.

Pancreatitis

In addition to causing stomach irritation (gastritis), drinking can inflame the pancreas. Chronic pancreatitis interferes with the digestive process, causing severe abdominal pain and persistent diarrhea --and "it's not fixable," Saitz says. Some cases of chronic pancreatitis are triggered by gallstones, but up to 60% stem from alcohol consumption.
