8 Myths and truths about alcohol
I made some rounds on the internet today trying to find so many myths about alcohol as I could. Let be the first to say that many of them. Some are plausible, some even thought it was true, but most are those who grow up with the thoughts are true. Why? Because that's what adults told us when we were young. They tried to stay away from drinking, at least until they were old enough legally. For some of us. It is not their fault though. They were just telling us what they said or what they saw in movies.
During the last twenty years, many studies have been done, and we have shown that these original thoughts on the consumption of alcohol are just a myth. Could still be some of these myths that it took for the truth then. So read through these, and educate you and your friends.
Below is the more complete list that you are getting in regard to the myths of alcohol affects you, the drinker. I scoured the Internet to find these hours myths and expose them. So read on and pay attention. They will surprise.
(Editors note: this not as someone who has lost a best friend for alcoholism, these facts are to promote the drink, only to school. I have also written an article on the dangers of drinking and alcoholism. Please also read.)
1. MYTH
Men and women of the same height and weight can drink the same.
DONE
Gender has nothing to do with getting more drunk or not. This is the structure of his body. Of course, it has been shown that people with a higher ratio of fat to muscle mass have a lower percentage of water in the body giving more alcohol effect strong, and women tend to have a little more lean muscle fat proportions.
Women are affected more rapidly because they tend to have a slightly more fat and lean muscle tissue, thus concentrating alcohol a little easier on your lower percentage of body water. They also have less of an enzyme (dehydrogenase) that metabolizes or breaks down alcohol, 9 and hormonal changes during the menstrual cycle could also affect alcohol absorption to some degree.
2. MYTH
Coffee, cold showers, and food aid training to unwind a little faster.
DONE
I think this is a myth, because I always see people in movies drinking coffee to sober or someone pushing another person in the shower and turn the cold water.
- Although knows coffee the next morning, this myth has absolutely no back support. There is no quick way to sober. Alcohol is eliminated from the body in BAC 015 an hour.
- cold showers may seem to work, because the cold water restricts blood flow. However, you will be as drunk as you, and you still has the same alcohol in his system, so it actually takes longer to sober you up.
- Working out is just a really bad idea to offer so many reasons. Yes, it would be sweating and increase in blood flow, is very dangerous because you have already de-hydrated by drinking. This will cause your body to overheat. Heating your body up in this way could cause serious damage to internal organs. In addition, running drunk is simply not a good idea.
3. MYTH
Only drink beer instead of alcohol will not get drunk
DONE
While this appears to be proven true, the reality is that people who choose to drink "spirits" can eat more and in a short period of time. As someone who drinks a beer can take much longer; with wine usually takes more time to drink because one person is often your time and sip a glass of wine. There are also different feelings of intoxication that come from different types of drinking alcohol. That's another reason people feel that the liquor gets them more drunk. Here you can see the different amounts of alcohol, but these are all equal. So three alcoholic drinks will give you the same BAC (blood alcohol) and three glasses of wine.
1. One can is 12 ounces of regular beer
2. A glass of wine is 5 oz
3. A shot of liquor is one and a half ounces of 80 proof liquor, pure or a mixed drink
4. MYTH
A tummy Beer is caused by drinking beer.
DONE
A beer gut "is only caused by eating too much. However, alcohol has been known to slow down the process of burning fat. This would lead to think that alcohol is making them fatter. There are also myths that beer bellies are the result of grease or an enlarged liver. "While excessive consumption of alcohol can lead to fatty liver or even irreversible liver damage, this does not cause fatty belly associated with a beer belly. While obesity or overweight has its own health risks, nor is it indicative of liver damage. – World Unity "
5. MYTH
Alcohol is the cause of alcoholism.
DONE
As a government agency has alcohol explained, "The alcohol causes alcoholism no more that sugar causes diabetes. "The point of the agency that if alcohol causes alcoholism then all drinkers are alcoholics. In fact, a common belief among members of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) is that people are born alcoholic and not due to be alcoholic to alcohol or anything else in their experience. Argue many people are born and die without ever having alcoholic a drink of alcohol. Of course, a person can not be an alcoholic drink or do without alcohol.
6. MYTH
Beer before liquor, never been sicker, liquor before beer, you're in the clear
TRUTH
The only fact that that is certain is that the rhymes. While some people swear up and down that this is true, it holds no scientific fact. I can drink myself of any form and at the same time feeling again and again. There could be many reasons for people to feel sick after drinking beer before liquor. My thinking is that when people start with beer and are already drunk, they tend to drink more liquor irresponsibly. Thus drinking more liquor than they should. until they are finally so sick that this song applies to them. Also, when people start to drink liquor, taking the amount of alcohol to feel comfortable, and finish the night off slowly drinking beer. I say slowly, because they get more drunk, more likely to not pay attention to their drinks. Which leads to less intake have beer in your hand …. which is now a hot beer.
7. MYTH
Alcohol makes sex better.
TRUTH
Alcohol makes things lower your inhibitions in a social situation and causes many seem more pleasant. However, the reality is that alcohol can keep men from getting or maintain an erection, while helping to reduce a woman's sexual desire. More importantly, alcohol can affect your ability to make decisions. You can be put in a situation of risk, you might think you're ready to have sex when you are not or may forget to use a condom – Which can result in pregnancy and / or contracting a sexually transmitted disease.
8. MYTH
When I drink too much, the worst that can happen is to lose knowledge.
TRUTH
This is horribly wrong. When you drink alcohol in excess, can lead to alcohol poisoning which can cause death. In addition, excessive alcohol consumption can cause vomiting, which is the first sign of his body from being poisoned. What people do not realize is that your body is alcohol as a poison, it is. Even in the first sip, your body is trying to get rid of this poison. The reason why they get drunk, is because they are eating too much alcohol to the liver and kidneys to the de-toxify. When drunk and unconscious, a person may inhale fluids that have been vomited, resulting in death from asphyxiation. In the long term, heavy use of alcohol can lead to addiction (alcoholism), and can even cause a heart attack or stroke.
These are signs of alcohol intoxication:
- Mental confusion, stupor, coma, or person can not be aroused.
- Vomiting.
- Seizures.
- Slow breathing (fewer than eight breaths per minute).
- Irregular breathing (10 seconds or more between breaths).
- Hypothermia (low body temperature), bluish skin, pallor.
So we have reached the bottom of the list I made. I tried to find those that affected people like you and me. There is a myth out there, but I think these are the most common ones can be attributed to a better (and nightlife safer to drink). Remember, you do not have to "deteriorate" to have a good idea. So drink responsibly, and educate their friends these myths and truths behind them.
