Directory Health The Effects of Alcohol on Your Body Source: ALAC Your Body Can Take Less Than You Think Most of us enjoy a drink. And there's no reason why we shouldn't, as long as we drink within sensible limits. However, most people have no idea what the limit is. And unfortunately, what the body can handle is a lot less than most of us imagine. That's mainly because the effects can remain invisible until later on in life - and it's then that the troubles can start. We all know about liver problems. But the brain's short and long-term memory, the heart, the stomach and sexual performance, can be damaged. Some cancers, dementia, bone and muscle degeneration are also associated with drinking more than the body can handle. So, How Much Do You Drink? Before you can see whether or not the amount of alcohol you could drink could be affecting your health, you first have to work out how much you drink. This is measured in what are known as Standard Drinks. The Standard Drinks for wine, beer and spirits are shown in the table here. So what's your body's limit?

Wine, Alcohol and Your Health Wine is not only the oldest dietary alcoholic beverage but the oldest medicinal agent in continuous use throughout human history. The use of wine dates back more than 6,000 year with interest by physicians, scientists, poets and peasants. Even today, wine and other alcoholic beverages are classified as foods (it's the U.S.D.A.'s fifth food group) and is used daily in most cultures. More healthy benefits have been bestowed upon wine than any other natural substance. There are few known unhealthy effects from moderate amounts of alcohol consumption, with negative consequences seen mostly in heavy drinkers. Women are more susceptible to alcohol not only because of size, but due to the less amount of alcohol dehydrogenase in their stomach, which breaks down alcohol before it's absorbed. Once in the blood alcohol is destroyed in the liver. Most wine contains about 12% ethyl alcohol (ethanol), with only a very small percent of other types of alcohol. Sweet dessert wines may contain up to 20% alcohol. This compared to 40% (80 proof and 50% (100 proof alcohol in distilled products like vodka and gin. The pH of wine (its acidity) closely resembles that of a healthy stomach, one reason why wine improves digestion. Eating natural fats with wine slows the absorption of alcohol and protects the intestine from possible irritation. Wine also contains vitamins B-1, B-2, B-6 and niacin, as well as traces of most minerals, especially iron. Most red table wine contains significant amounts of iron in the easily usable ferrous form.

76. To Your Health child is using alcohol or any other drug, rely on your pediatrician for advice andhelp. From the American Academy of Pediatrics. October is Child health Month http://www.rockford.uic.edu/toyourhealth/alc.htm

Alcohol: Your Child and Drugs Children are challenged at younger ages than ever before to try drugs. Tobacco. Marijuana. Cocaine. However, the drug most often overlooked is the one most commonly abused-alcohol. Alcohol is a legal drug for adults and it is found in many homes. As a result, it often is the first drug that most young people try. They are encountering drugs at increasingly younger ages. One out of 3 fourth graders believe that drinking is a "big problem" in their age group. About 1 out of 7 fourth graders already have consumed alcohol to the point of intoxication. Four out of 10 sixth graders say there is pressure from other students to drink alcohol. Three million children aged 14 to 17 are problem drinkers. Most young people admit that the main reason they drink is to get "high." This explains why they often drink until they are drunk and out of control. A recent survey showed that 41 percent of high school seniors engage in this kind of binge drinking at least once every 2 weeks. Teenagers, like some adults, drink to escape problems, such as depression or family conflict. Others use alcohol as a way to fit in with their peer groups or to reduce their social uneasiness. Peer group pressure is one of the major reasons for adolescent drinking. Alcohol is a so-called "Gateway drug" through which children first experience intoxication. After "getting high" this way, studies show that they may be more likely to try other drugs while drinking. Multiple drug use is dangerous. Mixing alcohol with another drug, such as marijuana, may distort the senses and cause motor-coordination problems. The effects of marijuana can linger in the system for days.

EDITOR'S NOTE CHEERS to your health Alcohol and the first amendment Image by Malcolm Garris/PhotoDisc March 4, 1999 For at least seven years, researchers have known that moderate alcohol consumption cuts the risk of coronary heart disease. When compared with nondrinkers, those who have an average of one or two drinks a day of beer, spirits, or wine live longer and have significantly fewer heart attacks. The physiology is thought to be somewhat simple: Alcohol helps generate high-density lipoproteins (good cholesterol) and clot-dissolving enzymes. Even the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans now specifically state the coronary benefits of moderate drinking. But folks at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms argued against allowing a simple statement about the benefits to appear on alcohol labels because they felt a paragraph presenting the pros would be misleading and any label with a full list of pros and cons would be too long. They worried that too positive a label might lead to inappropriate drinking. Yet, lobbied hard, the Bureau recently approved labels for wine—but not for any other alcohol—that advise consumers to consult their physician or the federal Dietary Guidelines to learn more about the health effects of moderate consumption. The new label isn’t exactly in plain English.

Home Feedback Contact Site map ... Harassment Drugs and alcohol can harm your health Using alcohol, tobacco, prescription drugs or illicit drugs at work can have serious consequences. They can impair judgement and coordination, or be compounded by exposure to other substances in the workplace.
