    IS ALCOHOL A DRUG?
    ALCOHOL IS AMONG THE LEGAL, SOCIALLY ACCEPTED
    DRUGS. DRINKING ALCOHOL IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED
    WITH FUN IN WESTERN COUNTRIES, AND MOST OF THE
    TIME IT'S NOT SEEN AS A DRUG, SO WE CAN'T OBJECT
    TO THE OCCASIONAL GLASS OF BEER OR WINE. BUT
    WHEN CONSUMPTION BECOMES REGULAR AND/OR
    EXCESSIVE, THE PATH TO ALCOHOLISM IS ALREADY
    OPEN. ALCOHOL IS AMONG THE DRUGS WITH THE
    GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR HARMING HEALTH.
    ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION CAUSES EASILY
    VISIBLE CHANGES
    • MENTAL MOOD: FROM GOOD MOOD TO DEPRESSION, UPSET AND AGGRESSION
    • INITIATIVE: FROM STIMULATION TO INHIBITION
    • SOCIAL BEHAVIOR: FROM THE FACILITATION OF SOME CONTACTS TO BAD AND AGGRESSIVE
    MANIFESTATIONS

    • STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS: FROM THE FEELING OF BEING MORE AWAKE AND AWARE TO DIZZINESS,
    THROUGH TEMPORARY LOSS OF CONSCIOUSNESS AND COMA

    • REASONING: SLOWING DOWN, OBSESSIVE IDEAS, DECREASES CRITICAL ABILITY, WHICH IS SOMETIMES
    CONFUSED WITH CREATIVE THINKING

    • MOTOR SKILLS: SPEECH THAT IS MORE DIFFICULT OR WITH OTHER CHANGES, DISTURBANCES IN THE
    COORDINATION OF MOVEMENTS AND UNCONTROLLED GESTICULATION WITH LARGE MOVEMENTS
    TREATMENTS FOR FREQUENT ALCOHOL
    CONSUMPTION
    • DETOXIFICATION CAN BE A KEY STEP IN TREATMENT. THIS INVOLVES STOPPING DRINKING COMPLETELY, WHILE THE PATIENT
    IS UNDER MEDICAL SUPERVISION, SO THAT THE BODY CAN ADAPT TO THE LACK OF ALCOHOL. DURING THIS TIME, A PERSON
    MAY EXPERIENCE ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS.

    • COGNITIVE BEHAVIORAL THERAPY (CBT) MAY BE RECOMMENDED TO HELP CHANGE NEGATIVE THOUGHT PATTERNS THAT
    CAN LEAD TO ALCOHOL USE.

    • MUTUAL AID GROUPS SUCH AS ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS HELP IN PART BECAUSE OF THE NEW SUPPORT NETWORK A
    PERSON GAINS. THEY CAN HELP PEOPLE ADJUST THEIR THINKING AND ATTITUDE TOWARDS THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.

    • PHARMACOLOGICAL TREATMENTS (IE DRUGS) MAY ALSO HAVE A ROLE IN PREVENTING RELAPSE FOR SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE
    TRYING TO ABSTAIN FROM ALCOHOL.
    THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION. AND
    REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE NOT TO
    BLAME FOR YOUR CHOICES. AND DON'T
    FORGET TO SAY NO TO ALCOHOL
