1.What is an alcohol?

2. What kind of alcohol do you know?

3. Is it safe to drink different varieties of alcohol?

Alcohol is colorless, bitter-tasting substance
that humans have been consuming since the
ancient times. It comes from plants that
underwent fermentation, the process of
extracting alcohol from a plant or a fruit. An
example of fermented alcohol is a beer. A
beer is extracted from grains. On the other
hand, wines are grapes and other fruits.
There are three types of alcohol: isopropyl,
methanol, and ethanol. Isopropyl and methanol
are used in laboratories and are poisonous and
fatal if taken. On the other hand, ethanol is also
called the beverage alcohol. When humans
consume this in unregulated amount, it may
result to intoxication and alteration of the
nervous system.

people drink alcohol?

REASONS NOT TO DRINK ALCOHOL

Alcohol may lead to weight gain.
Alcohol interferes with memory and learning.
Alcohol increases the likelihood that you will use other drugs.
Alcohol increases your risk of developing cancer.
Alcohol can lead to liver disease and other severe, chronic
diseases.
Within minutes of consuming
alcohol, it is absorbed into the
bloodstream by blood vessels in
the stomach lining and small
intestine.
It then travels to the brain,
where it quickly produces its
effects.

they consume more alcohol, intoxication may result.

•slurred speech •distortion of senses and perception
•drowsiness •loss of consciousness
•vomiting •lapses in memory
•headache •clumsiness and unsteady gait

The short-term effects of alcohol depend

on:
•how much is consumed
•how quickly
•the weight, sex, and body fat percentage
of the individual
•whether or not they have eaten
Drinking with a meal slows the rate of absorption, resulting in fewer side effects
and less intoxication.

The body absorbs alcohol relatively quickly,
but it takes longer to get the alcohol out of
the body. The liver needs about 1 hour to
process one drink. Consuming several drinks
in a short time causes the alcohol builds up
in the body. This puts the body’s systems
under pressure. It can lead to illness and, in
severe cases, death.

IMPACT OF DRINKING ALCOHOL ON THE FAMILY AND COMMUNITY:

1. Damaged Family Relationships

One way in which alcoholism affects families is in
damaged relationships. Families of people affected by
alcohol misuse often struggle to create strong emotional
bonds, even within their family unit. This destroys trust
and makes it difficult for other family members to build
strong relationships with the individual.

problems. Sadly, parents who are struggling with
alcohol addiction are often neglectful of both the
physical and emotional needs of their children. This
