the areas of the brain responsible for learning and memory, verbal skills, and visual-spatial
perception. Therefore, its excessive consumption affects the creation of new memories,
problem-solving skills, abstract thinking, attention and concentration. Studies suggest that
adolescent alcohol use seriously impairs neurocognitive function, such as the ability to study
and perform well on tests.
THE ORGANISM
AND THE EFFECTS OF ALCOHOL
In addition to the brain, alcohol consumption affects multiple organs of the body and several
systems: in high doses, blood pressure increases, the heart muscles and, therefore, its
pumping ability are weakened.
One of the effects of alcohol in the blood consists of inhibiting the production of red and
white blood cells, which favors the appearance of anemia and the weakening of the immune
system; In turn, this makes it easier to contract bacterial and viral infections.
Likewise, it alters the functioning of all the organs that make up the digestive system,
especially because it erodes the mucous membranes (membranes that cover the interior of
some organs of the body). In principle, stomach irritation and pain associated with gastritis
may occur, due to excess production of gastric acid. In advanced stages, ulcers and
hemorrhages appear in the stomach, which are a risk factor for the presence of cancer in
this organ. Other types of cancer related to alcohol consumption are liver, pancreas,
esophagus, larynx, and bladder.
POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF ALCOHOLISM
The liver is the organ responsible for processing the alcohol consumed. Among the
substances that it generates during the metabolization of alcohol, acetaldehyde stands out,
whose effect consists of consuming vitamin B from the body and damaging proteins, thereby
affecting tissues. Damage to the liver can begin with pain and inflammation, followed by

HEART

of cells; In the end, liver cirrhosis occurs, which leads to death irremediably.
Kidney functions are affected due to increased activity, which causes dehydration and forces
the body to take water from other organs to eliminate alcohol. Being dehydrated, a good
amount of water is usually taken from the brain, and this explains the headache after having
consumed alcoholic beverages.
Among other effects derived from the presence of I-cohol in the body, the appearance of
diseases such as type II diabetes and peritonitis, as well as erectile dysfunction in the case
of men, can be mentioned. In pregnant women, it can affect the growth of the fetus, cause
malformations of the face, liver, heart, kidneys, eyes and the nervous system; in cases of
addiction or prolonged abuse, there may even be a risk of mental retardation in the baby.
The body is affected in many ways; However, until some symptoms appear, it is difficult to
realize the damage that alcohol causes. For this reason, it is best to be responsible in your
consumption. All of the above effects are of greater risk the earlier the age at which you
begin to drink.

The human is social

. Since the human began to exist, he has had to form groups in order to survive. Belonging
to a group was and is of the utmost importance.
The social rules. To belong to a group, the rules of the group must be respected. For
example, group loyalty. Likewise, it is necessary to be consistent in the interactions with the
other members to develop relationships, friendship, love and loyalty. The member of the
group must have confidence in receiving support and care from the group and vice versa.
The celebration. When all this happens, the group celebrates. The festivity since ancient
times has been accompanied by the consumption of intoxicating drinks. However, there are
rules. He who drinks alcohol in moderation is welcome and is said to be sharing with the
group; but the one who gets drunk and irrelevant is rejected and is not invited to the
following celebrations.
The rejected. When young people are rejected from groups, they feel sad and have low
self-esteem; they may hang out with other rejected youth. Under these conditions, the
consumption of alcohol and other drugs is facilitated. Tolerance to the effects can also be
increased, so in order to experience them again they have to take more and more often. In
this way you become dependent on the substance, which may be alcohol.
What to do to prevent addiction or to rehabilitate it! young man? The formula seems clear.
He has to join a group that appreciates his intelligence and abilities and, above all, that loves
him. A group that supports him so that he develops in what he is naturally capable of. The
addict has many more capabilities and in most cases he expects his family to appreciate
them.
Someone who appreciates and values us. I will tell the story of Daniel Pennac, who wrote
the book Mal de Escuela. When Pennac was a child he had a hard time learning. Everyone
made fun of him, even his father. To avoid scolding and punishment, the little boy became a
liar. By the time he got to high school he was already proficient at telling complex lies. One of
the teachers found out and left him homework to write his lies. But the teacher
Alcohol
It is a simple molecule, made up of just nine atoms: two carbon, one oxygen, and six
hydrogen. But it is capable of causing important changes in human behavior, and that has
made it a very important component of our culture, of which it has been a part since the era
Neolithic, about 9,000 years ago.
Alcohol
is produced from natural sugars (from grapes,
to produce wine; barley, for beer; rice, for sake; agave, for pulque and tequila, and even
milk). Through the fermentation process, these sugars are converted, thanks to the action of
microorganisms —particularly yeasts, microscopic fungi— into alcohol, which can then be
drunk to achieve its well-known effects.
In reality, the alcohol we drink is only one of many that exist. Its chemical name is ethanol
and its structure gives it very important properties. When consumed, it passes from the
intestine into the blood and from there to the brain, where it interferes with the transmission
of nerve impulses from one neuron to another. One neuron emits a molecule called a
neurotransmitter, and the neurotransmitter binds to receptor molecules on the surface of the
next neuron. Thus, the nerve impulse continues on its way.
Ethanol binds to some of these receptors and in doing so produces a depressant effect on
the central nervous system, which in low doses (0.05% alcohol in the blood) causes a
pleasant feeling of relaxation, eliminates tension and reduces inhibitions ( hence its
importance as a "lubricant" in social relationships). But also, from 0.1% in the blood, it
decreases motor coordination and retards reflexes; this explains its role as the cause of
accidents. In high doses (0.3 to 0.4% in the blood), it severely impairs muscle control,
impairs speech, alters emotions, and can even cause dizziness, vomiting, unconsciousness,
and coma. If the ingested dose is excessive (more than 0.4%), ethanol paralyzes the nerve
centers that control breathing and causes death.
Also, regular consumption of alcohol has many other harmful effects on the human body. It
can cause damage to the liver—including liver cirrhosis, which can be fatal—, the
cardiovascular system, the kidneys, and the nervous system.
It is a drug that alters behavior, causes numerous deaths and damages health. However, it is
highly prized, its consumption is permitted by law, and selling it is a big business.
Again, it is clear that science can inform us about the dangers of abusing substances like
this, but this knowledge is not enough to change our
