Alcohol
can affect people differently. Some may become intoxicated
from their first drink; others may be able consume five
or more drinks before showing any effects.
People
use acceptable social drinking for many occasions: dates,
housewarming parties, graduations, weddings, birthdays,
funerals..... etc. People drink for many reasons: to calm
down, to perk up, to celebrate, or to fight insomnia,
and so on....
It is extremely important to ALL women to think twice
before drinking alcohol! Studies show that women can become
more easily addicted because they are more emotional.
And pregnant women should be especially careful! Consumption
of alcohol may cause birth abnormalities in newborn infants!
Pregnant women should avoid ALL alcohol.
One
too many drinks left you dizzy? Put your hands on something
stable. The part of your ear responsible for balance —
the cupola — floats in a fluid of the same density as
blood. “As alcohol dilutes blood in the cupola, the cupola
becomes less dense and rises,” says Dr. Schaffer. This
confuses your brain. The tactile input from a stable object
gives the brain a second opinion, and you feel more in
balance. Because the nerves in the hand are so sensitive,
this works better than the conventional foot-on-the-floor
wisdom.
