How Alcohol Effects The Women?
June 16, 2008
Alcohol is known as the world’s oldest known drug. Some grains, fruit juice and honey have been used to make alcohol (ethyl alcohol or ethanol) for thousands of years. The production of products containing alcohol has become big business in today’s society and the consumption and abuse of alcohol has become a major public health problem. Here are some alcohol effects on women that can give way to many problematic diseases:
Liver Damage- Even drinking at the lower levels can develop liver disease in women’s body. Alcohol affects the women most as compared to men in any way. They are also more likely to develop alcohol hepatitis and to die from cirrhosis of the liver.
Violent victimization-A survey of women and alcohol says that there is a significant relationship between the amount of alcohol intake and their experience of sexual victimization.
Heart Problem- Women having one or two alcoholic drinks everyday have a lower death rate of coronary heart disease as compared to heavier drinker while other survey says similar heart muscle disease for intake of heavy intake of alcohol.
Breast Cancer-Many studies concludes alcohol gives way to breast cancer. About 4% of breast cancer developed in world because of the consumption of alcohol. Women having six drinks per day risk the most.
Brain Damage-Women may be more vulnerable than men to alcohol induced brain damage. Many researches concludes that a brain region involved in coordinating multiple brain functions was significantly smaller among alcoholic women compared with both nonalcoholic women and alcoholic men. These differences remained significant after measurements were adjusted for head size. These results are not consistent with a greater vulnerability to alcoholic brain damage in women. However, the female alcoholics reported less severe alcohol use compared with the male alcoholics.
Osteoporosis-Osteoporosis is a debilitating bone thinning disorder where bones become fragile and more susceptible to fracture, affecting more women than men. Studies have indicated that heavy drinking, particularly in adolescence or young adult years, can dramatically compromise bone quality and may increase osteoporosis risk in later life. Further evidence suggests that bones do not overcome the damaging effects when alcohol use is discontinued.
