Alcohol is a psychoactive drug that acts as a central nervous system depressant. As blood alcohol levels
increase, the body responds to it in stages, which range from relaxation, euphoria, and excitement to
confusion, stupor, coma, and, in extreme cases, death. In addition to alcohol’s effects on the brain, alcohol
also affects the body tissues. It irritates the stomach and intestine lining and increases stomach acid secretion,
causing vomiting; increases blood flow to the skin, causing users to sweat and appear flushed; and reduces
blood flow to the muscles, causing muscle aches most notably felt as the alcohol leaves the system (“a
hangover”).

Alcohol causes you to have head pains, stomach pains, and affects your brain. You began to think differently
and as you begin to act different, this is known as being “drunk.” As you begin to drink, your blood flow
increases by a lot, causing you to sweat, and relax because your muscles to ache.

Original Text: (copied from the original source)
The way we process information is affected when we've been drinking too. We're more likely to misinterpret
other people's behaviour and misread social cues. This could be the reason why so many drunken fights start
over little more than a 'dirty look'.
The majority of people who drink are never violent and even those who do become aggressive won't do so all
the time. Still, losing your cool over something as simple as a spilled drink is never a good move. binge
drinking increases the likelihood of both becoming aggressive and of being on the receiving end of someone
else's temper (1). If you're wanting to cut back on alcohol or simply want to keep track of how much you're
drinking.
Parenthetical Citation: (make sure you cite the information properly)
You start to think differently about everything you see, and sometimes even miss judge someone and want
to start a fight with them when they did nothing wrong. Your drinking level increases over time if you drink
on a daily bases. If you don’t want to get addicted to drinking, then you have to cut down and keep track of
how much your drinking and when you seem to drink it.

Original Text: (copied from the original source)
Alcoholism and alcohol abuse are due to many interconnected factors, including genetics, how you were
raised, your social environment, and your emotional health. Some racial groups, such as American Indians
and Native Alaskans, are more at risk than others of developing alcohol addiction. People who have a family
history of alcoholism or who associate closely with heavy drinkers are more likely to develop drinking
problems. Finally, those who suffer from a mental health problem such as anxiety, depression, or bipolar
disorder are also particularly at risk, because alcohol may be used to self-medicate.

Original Text: (copied from the original source)
Alcohol has been a part of communal life for millennia, and has an important place in social, spiritual, and emotional experience. You
may drink for a multitude of reasons, including:

To relax after a hard day

To join friends in socializing

Because you like the taste

Because it’s an important part of your culture
As with most things we do in life, there are other motivations beneath the surface that shape what we do. Perhaps you drink
because:

Drinking feels like a central way of being close to certain people

Alcohol has always been part of how you’ve managed

You feel too bad (lonely, sad, angry, etc.) without drinking

You’ve tried to stop, but you can’t

but alcohol is fattening. In fact, a pint of 4% beer or two double gin and tonics equals around one burger!
Alcohol dehydrates your body generally, including the skin – your body's largest organ. This happens every
time you drink. Drinking too much is also thought to deprive the skin of vital vitamins and nutrients. Over
time, drinking heavily can have other, more permanent, detrimental effects on your skin. Rosacea, a skin
disorder that starts with a tendency to blush and flush easily and can eventually lead to facial disfigurement, is
linked to alcohol.

Original Text: (copied from the original source)
It’s sensible to avoid drinking alcohol when taking medication. However, it is unlikely that alcohol in
moderation will cause problems if you are taking most common antibiotics.
In order to reduce the health risks that are associated with drinking alcohol, the Department of Health
recommends that men should drink no more than 3-4 units of alcohol a day, and that women should drink no
more than 2-3 units of alcohol a day.

"alcohol alert." NIH . N.p.. Web. 20 Dec 2013. <http://pubs.niaaa.nih.gov/publications/aa18.htm>.
Original Text: (copied from the original source)
The idea that alcoholism runs in families is an ancient one. In recent decades, science has advanced this idea from the
status of folk-observation to systematic investigation (1-3). In the 1970s, studies documented that alcoholism does run
in families (4,5). But does alcoholism run in families because a child learns to become an alcoholic from parents and
the home environment, or because a child inherits genes that create an underlying predisposition for alcoholism? Or
both? The studies did not resolve these questions.
Researchers investigate possible genetic components of alcoholism by studying populations and families as well as
genetic, biochemical, and neurobehavioral markers and characteristics (13,14). Two major methods of investigating the
inheritance of alcoholism are studies of twins and of adoptees (15). Twin studies compare the incidence of alcoholism
in identical twins with the incidence of alcoholism in fraternal twins (16,17). If there is a genetic component in the risk for
alcoholism, then identical twins, who have identical genes, would be expected to exhibit similar histories of developing
alcoholism (or not developing alcoholism). Fraternal twins, who are genetically different individuals born at the same
time, would be more likely to differ in their tendencies to develop alcoholism. In general, researchers using the twin
method have found these expectations to be true.

"How to Use Alcohol to Treat a Cold." wiki how to do anything. N.p.. Web. 20 Dec 2013.
<http://www.wikihow.com/Use-Alcohol-to-Treat-a-Cold>.
Original Text: (copied from the original source)
Drink alcohol in moderation during the cold season. Studies have shown that while a cold cannot be
healed by alcohol, it may be prevented by it. One Carnegie Mellon study demonstrated that alcohol drinkers
had increased resistance to catching colds. [1] Wine has also shown benefits likely owing to its anti-oxidant
effects. [2]
Drink alcohol to relieve symptoms of a cold once you have it. Again, don't think that the alcohol will cure
the cold, but it will temporarily alleviate some painful symptoms such as sore throat and stuffiness. [3] Good
bets include brandy, whiskey and other spirits.
1. Drink wisely. This is about small shots of alcohol to alleviate symptoms temporarily or, in the case of
trying to prevent a cold, following sensible drinking according to official guidelines for men and
women. The risks of abusing alcohol far outweigh the benefits of cold treatment.
Warnings

Do not use alcohol to treat children, immuno-suppressed people or those who do not wish to drink.

Alcohol is a histamine and a diuretic, effects that you usually avoid while suffering a cold.

Drink in moderation. This is not a substitute for proper medical care or for appropriate drug treatment.

Be totally certain that any medications, herbal remedies, or just plain cough syrup you're taking will
not interact with alcohol. The potential side effects are serious.

ALCOHOL’S DAMAGING EFFECTS ON THE BRAIN
Difficulty walking, blurred vision, slurred speech, slowed reaction times, impaired memory: Clearly, alcohol affects the
brain. Some of these impairments are detectable after only one or two drinks and quickly resolve when drinking stops.
On the other hand, a person who drinks heavily over a long period of time may have brain deficits that persist well after
he or she achieves sobriety. Exactly how alcohol affects the brain and the likelihood of reversing the impact of heavy
drinking on the brain remain hot topics in alcohol research today.
We do know that heavy drinking may have extensive and far–reaching effects on the brain, ranging from simple “slips”
in memory to permanent and debilitating conditions that require lifetime custodial care. And even moderate drinking
leads to short–term impairment, as shown by extensive research on the impact of drinking on driving.
A number of factors influence how and to what extent alcohol affects the brain (1), including
-how much and how often a person drinks;
-the age at which he or she first began drinking, and how long he or she has been drinking;
-the person’s age, level of education, gender, genetic background, and family history of alcoholism;
-whether he or she is at risk as a result of prenatal alcohol exposure; and
-his or her general health status.

Original Text: (copied from the original source)
It's no secret that alcohol consumption can cause major health problems, including cirrhosis of the liver and injuries
sustained in automobile accidents. But if you think liver disease and car crashes are the only health risks posed by
drinking, think again: Researchers have linked alcohol consumption to more than 60 diseases.
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

regularly drinking too much alcohol
not doing enough exercise
being overweight
not eating a healthy diet that includes enough fruit or vegetables
a family history of high blood pressure
consuming too much salt.

Original Text: (copied from the original source)
Scientists have long touted the heart benefits of drinking small amounts of alcohol. Newer studies have credited
moderate drinking with everything from helping to keep our minds sharp as we age to lowering our risk of
developing diabetes.
In fact, the new U.S. dietary guidelines give many of us official permission to enjoy one to two drinks daily.
Drinking alcohol can be good for your health, but it can also be harmful. It all depends on how much you drink,
your age, and other factors.
There's no denying that too much alcohol can lead to serious problems. Excess alcohol can increase your risk of:

Liver disease

High blood pressure

High blood fats (triglycerides)

Heart failure

Stroke

Fetal alcohol syndrome (if you're pregnant)

Certain cancers

Injury, violence, and death
And, of course, drinking too much alcohol piles on the calories, which can lead to obesity and a higher risk for
diabetes.
