Alcohol And "harmful" Excuses For The Holidays

We must keep in mind that a cold shower or a cup of coffee will not "wash away" alcohol from the bloodstream.

Alcohol consumption is an integral part of the celebration. For many of us, drinking alcohol is a pleasure. However, when alcohol becomes the center of the event, it is a signal of a problem, experts warn.
 
At what point does moderate alcohol consumption turn into a problem? The answer to this question is actually not unambiguous for everyone, as we differ in tolerance to alcohol, as well as in the way the body metabolizes it . 
 
According to accepted standards, moderate alcohol consumption is defined as one drink per day for women and two for the male part of society. And "drink" means 30 ml of concentrated alcohol, 150 ml of wine and 350 ml of beer. In case we cross this border, we are already talking about drunkenness. 
 
In fact, alcohol is a poison. It is quickly absorbed into the bloodstream , and its initial action is to deprive us of inhibitions, and a little later it begins to act as a depressant. A hangover the next day is a sign that the body is being cleansed of its influence. 
 
 
 
And, while a number of studies show that moderate alcohol consumption has some health benefits, abuse can cause serious problems, especially liver damage and cardiovascular disease . 
 
We should not use the holidays as an excuse for excessive alcohol consumption. The aim should be not to overdo it. It should be borne in mind that a cold shower or a cup of coffee will not "wash away" alcohol from the bloodstream. This task can only be completed by time. 
 
If we have a problem with alcohol , we need to prepare mentally before an event by determining the amount to take. We can entrust a friend with the task of monitoring and controlling us in case we deviate from the plan. It is also important not to be deceived that if we have not consumed any alcohol for several days, then we are free to catch up at once.
