Stop Drinking Advice...Alcohol Kills

By Ed Philips

We have begun to see over recent years that our society has been really hard bit by an illness which has been around for years...alcoholism. As pressures grow on us and there always seems something to worry about in todays modern consumer society, this deadly disease lets rip on us.

In today's 24hr consumer society alcohol is suddenly always available so the act of escaping from your problems is made that much easier for you. The problem is that if you turn your back on a problem, it will only grow so by drinking alcohol nothing is being solved. Another negative side of alcohol is that it is a depressant, which will only make you consume more making the problem worse until the continuing cycle of events will lead to an alcoholic losing complete track of what is reality and what isn't.

This sad chain of events will only lead to a certain addiction to alcohol for anyone who is just unable to deal with a problem that life sometimes throws at you. There now exists a real problem and one that is not going to be as simple to deal with. We are now not just looking at a lack of social skills abilities, we are now going to have to deal with a serious health condition, one that kills.

People sometimes don't stop and consider exactly what they are doing when they are drinking alcohol. First of all the alcohol will enter the esophagus and exit into the stomach, where it is then absorbed into the blood stream. It will then end up in the liver which has the job of breaking it up into different chemicals.

The subsequents functions of the liver will turn these chemicals into h2o and co2, which are then just excreted from our organism. This all sounds quite simple but this function bears a lot of strain on the liver to produce such changes. The problem begin though when even more alcohol is consumed as the liver is not able to deal with it. The result being that the alcohol level in our blood will begin to rise.
