Introduction
Alcohol is part of our society. People
use it to celebrate, socialize, relax, and enhance
the enjoyment of meals. Alcoholic beverages is
one of the product that are present during
celebrations or parties even in everyone’s
Houses alcoholic drinks are always present.
Alcoholic beverages comprise a large
group of beverages that contain varying amounts
of alcohol (ethanol). Alcoholic beverages
produced on an industrial scale include beer,
wine, and China rice wine, and distilled spirits
such as brandy, whisky, rum, gin, cognac,
vodka, tequila, pisco, and China distilled spirit.
People generally tend to drink alcohol in
order to have fun. Being drunk makes them feel
happy and “spirited,” and drinking alcohol with
friends can be a fun experience. If people are
nervous in social situations, drinking helps them
relax and have more fun. But alcoholic
beverages may not always for drinking it may
also be use as ingredients in cooking. An
alcoholic beverage is a drink containing ethanol,
commonly known as alcohol. Alcoholic
beverages are divided into three general classes:
beers, wines and spirits.
Body
But Alcoholic beverages can cause a lot
of health issues in a human bodies. Drinking too
much on a single occasion or over time can take
a serious toll on your health. Alcohol interferes
with the brain’s communication pathways, and
can affect the way the brain looks and works.
These disruptions can change mood and
behaviour, and make it harder to think clearly
and move with coordination.
Drinking alcoholic beverages affects our
heart causimg problems like cardiomyopathy,
arythmias, stroke, Higblood pressure and other
heart diseases. Alcoholic beverages also affects
our liver and pancreas whereas consumption of
too much alcoholic beverages develop acute and
chronic inflammation of both liver and pancreas.
Fatal conditions caused by alcoholic abuse
include a severely liver inflammation, acute liver
failure or/and cirrhosis presented with liver
cancer. It also affects our kidney and develops
kidney failures.
All in all alcoholic beverages also
contains carcinogens or pro-carcinogens,
including ethanol, nitrosamines and urethane
contaminants. Alcoholic beverages increase the
risk of squamous cell cancers of the oral cavity,
pharynx, larynx and oesophagus. Alcohol-
drinking raises the risk of neoplasms, even in the
absence of smoking, but alcohol-drinking and
tobacco-smoking together greatly increase the
risk.
Alcohol-drinking is also strongly
associated with the risk of primary liver cancer,
particularly among smokers and among people
chronically infected with hepatitis C virus. A
higher risk of colorectal cancer seems to be
linearly correlated with the amount of alcohol
consumed and independent of the type of
alcohol. A greater risk of breast cancer has been
consistently reported. More cases of breast
cancer than of any other cancer are attributable
to alcohol-drinking among filipino women. It
has been suggested that alcohol acts on
hormonal factors involved in breast
carcinogenesis
According to world health organization.
The harmful use of alcohol is a causal factor in
more than 200 disease and injury conditions.
Worldwide, 3 million deaths every year result
from harmful use of alcohol. This represents
5.3% of all deaths.
Conclusion
By all counts and proven results. It is no
wonder that consuming alcoholic beverages too
much may develops different health problems on
a human bodies but it doesn't meant that we
need to stop drinking alcoholic beverages, we
can still drink it but it must be in a moderately
and better is not to.
Avoiding the too much consumption
of alcoholic beverages is very essential in
our health. Worldwide, alcohol takes an
enormous toll on lives and communities,
especially in developing countries and its
contribution to the overall burden of
diseases is expected to increase in the future.
Recommendation
Moderate alcohol consumption
especially red wines may provide some health
benefits, such as; Reducing your risk of
developing and dying of heart disease, Possibly
reducing your risk of ischemic stroke (when the
arteries to your brain become narrowed or
blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow).
But take note that it is only in a moderate. Still
this claims remains debatable. There is many
claims of positive effects of alcoholic
consumption but there is a bunch of studies also
that proves the negative effects of an alcoholic
beverages in a human bodies.
Consuming more than 2 standard
drinks per occasion is associated with an
increase in harms that’s why, regardless of
the number of drinks you have during a
week, if you drink, make sure you don’t
exceed 2 drinks on any occasion. It will
reduce your risk of several harms to yourself
and others
