Drunkenness and then hangovers are consequences of excessive alcohol consumption. You need to know the signs, causes, dangers and how, or even ways, to avoid getting there. Alcohol has several effects on the body, as soon as it is absorbed. With a peak in concentration that occurs, on an empty stomach, after 30, 45 minutes during a meal. These effects first concern the vessels, where alcohol causes vasodilation. This vasodilation induces a loss of heat, so that alcohol causes, not warming, but hypothermia. The effects are then cerebral, with disinhibition, euphoria, a slowing of intellectual functions, a slowing of reflexes, a lack of perception of distances, balance disorders and even falls. This prevents the accomplishment of delicate tasks with of course driving a car which becomes extremely dangerous and must be absolutely avoided. We have also noted the excesses of violence, domestic violence, violence towards the police, health professionals. In addition to the cerebral and motor effects, there are digestive effects with nausea and vomiting. In the event of vomiting, it is important to place patients in a lateral safety position. It is obvious that the consumption of other psychotropic drugs with that of alcohol is catastrophic. Excessive consumption can cause alcoholic coma which requires transfer to hospital. Hangovers are a consequence of the effects of alcohol, i.e. dehydration, poor quality sleep, and the effects of other substances that may be contained in the alcohol consumed such as sulfur, sulfur which can cause headaches. The best treatment for a hangover is to hydrate by drinking plenty of fluids. it provides a general understanding of the quantities that allow you to stay below the driving concentration limits: two glasses of beer or two glasses of wine or two glasses of whisky, obviously in increasingly smaller quantities, i.e. 25 cl, 10 cl and 3 cl respectively. It then remains to be seen whether or not you are dependent on alcohol... #savoirvivreethealth #Drunkenness #.Alcohol 00:00 introduction 01:24 alcohol, blood and blood vessels 02:32 alcohol and the brain 04:12 drunkenness 06:08 alcoholic coma 07:05 hangover 08:10 assessing alcohol quantities
