Alcohol as our favorite drug!

Most of us use alcohol for enjoyment, but for some of us, drinking can become a serious problem. In fact, alcohol causes much more harm than illegal drugs like heroin and cannabis. It is a reassuring, it is addictive, and is the cause of many hospital admissions for physical illnesses and accidents.

Alcohol consumption causes many problems in pur body such us: stomach pains (gastritis), vomiting blood, unconsciousness and even death. In your mind, alcohol can stop your memory from working properly and can cause brain damage. It is known that people who kill themselves have had drinking problems. 

If you moderate drinking. you can reduce the risk of heart disease for men over 40 and women of menopausal age. Also, you can reduce the risk of get some kinds of cancer.

If you notice that you drink more than before and you are worried, here are some signs to recognize if it is an adiccion.

• you do not feel right without a drink, or need a drink to start the day
• you get very shaky, sweaty, and anxious/tense a few hours after your last drink
• you can drink a lot without becoming drunk
• you need to drink more and more to get the same effect
• you try to stop, but find you can't
• you carry on drinking even though you can see it is interfering with your work, family and relationships
• you get "memory blanks" where you can't remember what happened for a period of hours or days.

Alcohol affects your judgment, so you do things you wouldn't normally think of. It makes you less aware of risks and so more vulnerable. You are more likely to have fights, arguments, money troubles, family upsets, or spur-of-the-moment casual sex. Alcohol helps to cause accidents at home, on the roads, in the water and on playing fields.

Just we need to be more aware and take care of ourselves to prevent deaths, accidents, fights etc..
