All About Alcohol
December 17, 2008
Many a time people do not think about an alcohol problem occurring to them unless someone close to them is diagnosed with an issue or needs to supplement his bar pronto! While the latter could be said to be a problem (especially if you are entertaining the boss or your latest flame and need to set the mood), the former is an important part of responsible drinking.
Since alcohol consumption is a part of a social culture in progressive society and often many communities even have their own local liquor brewed at home, there are a few pertinent points for drinkers to keep in mind before raising that glass.
Like too much of good thing, excessive or the wrong kind of alcohol intake (e.g. along with medication, on an empty stomach or even mixing drinks etc.) can damage men’s health if they don’t pay attention to related factors like number of drinks consumed, how quickly they took each of the pegs, their weight and other health factors.
Many men also consume alcohol in the mistaken belief that it will help them reduce stress, but actually it only causes them to get into a habit that is hard to break off and tends to make them over-drink, too. In excess alcoholic consumption state, drunk men tend to feel a lot of discomfort and lose control over their senses, which can adversely affect their social, professional and physical balance in life.
Therefore, it is important for men to understand their individual safe alcohol limits for (3-4 units daily) or below 21 units a week. It is also good to keep at least a couple of days alcohol-free in the week so as to control the frequency and amount of alcohol one consumes.
If you want to check whether you are within the safe range for drinking, consider asking yourself whether you think of alcohol as soon as you wake up; if you feel the need for a quick-drink fix to get through the day and at every meal-time even besides suffering memory loss, hand tremors or having to drink at work too. If you answer yes to all or most of these questions, you need to get professional help to address a drinking problem.
