The consequences of alcoholism for human health
0
First of all, we should note that the world is becoming more and more people abuse alcohol. In these cases, in addition to health problems, there are problems related to the family and social life of a person suffering from alcoholism.
People and alcohol
People who abuse alcohol, as a rule, suffer from problems such as depression, low self-esteem, they are not satisfied with their lives and have an antisocial way of behaving. Basically, these are people who do not know how to overcome difficult life times and use alcohol as a way out or to alleviate their condition. Also, many people who suffer from alcoholism in big cities do it simply out of idleness and permissiveness.
The problem of alcoholism develops gradually and is due to the fact that in proportion to the amount of alcohol consumed in the body, the production of the natural hormone of joy decreases, and this ability can disappear in our body completely. Only alcohol can replace it, so it is especially dangerous for a person to start drinking alcohol at a young age.
The person becomes angry or defensive whenever someone asks about their drinking problems or the need to stop drinking, and they start drinking secretly. In the morning, they experience withdrawal symptoms that can only be relieved by another drink.
What is alcoholism?
According to WHO, it is a chronic disease characterized by alcohol dependence with two main symptoms: a person cannot stop drinking alcohol and cannot abstain from drinking it. An alcoholic is dependent on alcohol, both physically and mentally.
Diseases provoked by alcoholism:
- Chronic gastritis,
- Stomach ulcer
- Bleeding in various parts of the gastrointestinal tract
- Alcoholic (toxic) hepatitis
- Fatty liver
- Cirrhosis of the liver,
- Pancreatitis
- Hypertension
- Impotence in men
- Climax in women
- Cancer of the esophagus and stomach
- Disorders of the nervous system
This is the mistaken belief that alcohol is a socially accepted drug that can be safer than illegal drugs. As we have already mentioned, there are countless harmful consequences that arise not only in our body, but also at the level of social and working life.
It is very sad that a family has to share the problems of an alcoholic who lives with them The damage is great, both for those who suffer in their own flesh and for those who have to witness this sad picture.
A huge number of crimes and offenses are committed under the influence due to the abuse of alcohol.
NEVER drink alcohol if you are going to get behind the wheel. Your family is waiting for you safe and sound.
A person who has thought about his behavior, who has realized that he still has problems with alcohol, needs to seriously understand himself and decide, how to live on in the family, with work and wealth and respect of people, or quietly die alone from vodka somewhere in the backyard.
