Alcohol is a potent central nervous system depressant with a wide
range of effects. The amount you consume effects how drunk you will get.
The effects of alcohol change over time. When you first start
drinking. You may feel relaxed. But the more you drink, the more side
effects you begin to feel, like blurred vision and slurred speech.
Euphoria is an effect that alcohol has on people. Essentially,
getting the euphoric effect means you will feel an overall mood
improvement. You may be more self-confident when drinking. Your
attention span shortens and you may feel more flushed. Whether your
believe it or now, your judgment won't be as good as you think it is and
you may well say the first thing that comes to mind or do things that
you would not normally do. You will also start to have trouble with fine
movements such as signing their name. With more alcohol, lethargy may
start to set in. Lethargy is the side effect where you may become
sleepy. You have trouble remembering things that happened, even recent
things you have done. Body movements are uncoordinated and you may react
to situations more slowly. Your vision becomes blurry and they have
trouble seeing.
Confusion is also caused by drinking. You may get confused and very
emotional, less likely to respond to pain. If you get in a fight while
you are drunk, you will not feel the pain until the alcohol wears off.
Stupor is another short term effect of alcohol. In this condition
movement is seriously impaired and you may lapse in and out of
consciousness. You can slip into a coma and become completely unaware of
your surroundings. At this point, the risk to the body is very high due
to alcohol poisoning. Loss of body functions can begin like losing
control of the bladder, breathing and heart rate.
Drinking large amounts of alcohol can lead to coma and even death. If
you want to avoid these risks, the best way to do it is to avoid
alcohol. You can start being effected by alcohol from the very first
sip, whether you realize it or not.
Excessive doses of alcohol can cause long term as well as short-term
side effects. Some of the long term effects are: slowing, blurred
vision, vertigo, amnesia, ataxia, and hangovers.
The liver is part of the body's filtration system. This means when it
is damaged it allows certain toxins to build up, leading to symptoms of
Jaundice. This is what you are seeing when a person's skin begins to
turn yellow.
Many people don't think of alcohol as a drug but the fact is that it
is a drug. It is just as lethal as any other drug can be. When you
overuse any drug you can expect consequences. This is also true with
alcohol. Many people think that it is okay to have a beer once in a
while or that if you drink at home you won't be hurting anyone.
Think again. You are hurting yourself and by hurting yourself you are
hurting the ones that care about you. Whether you drink some at home or
at a bar, alcohol can have the same effect on you. One sip and the
process begins.
