On Friday afternoon after you leave work, you probably think about going out and having a few drinks with friends to relax and wind down. Even though you may think you deserve to go out and have a few drinks, there are some things that you should certainly keep in mind. This is especially true since you might need to deal with Self Defence

Like any other day, tomorrow is going to be a day for exercise, and since you are exercising on a regular basis, a few drinks of alcohol won’t really hurt anything, right? Before you decide to rush out to the local bar, there are a few things below that you should think about before you make your choice about going out to drink some alcohol.

Research has proven that even small amounts of alcohol with increase muscular endurance and the output of strength, although these types of benefits are very short lived. After 20 minutes or so, the problems will begin to surface. All of the negative side effects associated with alcohol will easily outweigh any possible benefits that it can have. No matter how you look at it, alcohol is a poison that can really harm your body if you aren’t careful.

The negative side of alcohol can reduce your strength, endurance, aerobic capability, recovery time, ability to metabolize fat, and even your muscle growth as well. Alcohol will also have an effect on your nervous system and brain. If you use it long term, you can cause severe deterioration of your central nervous system. Even with short term use, nerve muscle interaction can be reduced which will result in a loss of strength.

Once alcohol reaches the blood cells, it can and probably will damage them. With alcohol users, inflammation of the muscle cells is a very common thing. Over periods of time, some of these cells that have been damaged can die which will result in less functional muscle contractions. Drinking alcohol will also leave you with more soreness of your muscles after you exercise, which means that it will take you a lot longer to recuperate.

Alcohol will also have many different effects on your heart and circulatory system as well. When you drink any type of alcohol, you may begin to see a reduction in your endurance capabilities. Anytime you drink, your heat loss will increase, due to the alcohol simulating your blood vessels to dilate. The loss in heat can cause your muscles to become quite cold, therefore become slower and weaker during your muscle contractions.

Drinking alcohol can also lead to digestive and nutrition problems as well. Alcohol cause a release of insulin that will increase the metabolism of glycogen, which spares fat and makes the loss of fat very hard. Due to alcohol interfering with the absorption of several key nutrients, you can also become anemic and deficient with B type vitamins.

Because your liver is the organ that detoxifies alcohol, the more you drink, the harder your liver has to work. The extra stress alcohol places on your liver can cause serious damage and even destroy some of your liver cells.

Since alcohol is diuretic, drinking large amounts can put a lot of stress on your kidneys as well. During diuretic action, the hormones are secreted. This can lead to heightened water retention and no one who exercises will want this to happen.

If you must drink alcohol, you should do it in moderation and never drink before you exercise, as this will impair your balance, coordination, and also your judgement. Think about your health and how you exercise - and you may begin to look at things from a whole new prospective.

alcohol consumption

Alcohol affects us in various ways and our social skills; After one or two drinks you begin to become more your self and more talkative as the alcohol reaches the brain and affects your cognitive abilities.
Alcohol causes your heart rate to speed up and you may feel a warm glow. This is caused by alcohol making the little blood vessels in the skin widen, allowing blood to flow closer to the surface and lowers blood pressure.

How Alcohol Affects Our Health

The results of drinking extreme amounts of alcohol can be terrible. Alcohol health implications include anxiety, impaired judgment leading to accidents and injuries, loss of consciousness, slowed breathing and heartbeat, suffocation through choking on your own vomit and potentially fatal alcohol poisoning. Drinking too much alcohol can also effect you mentally (generally temporarily), inducing guilt, anger and even paranoia, for no real reason. You slurr your words, often don’t recognise your surroundings and drinking too much alcohol can result in memory loss.

Drinking heavily also increases your calorie intake, resulting in it being partly responsible for adult obesity. In a medium-sized (175ml) glass of wine there are 125 calories and in a bottle there are over 500 calories. So thats about one quarter of your guidline daily calorie allowance!

The morning after - hangover unpleasantries

Alcohol causes you to get a hangover the next day, often being undesirable to experience. You may feel stomach ache, sickness, nausea and sometimes diarrhea, Alcohol misuse also has a dehydrating effect. Alcohol can also make you feel depressed, guilty

.
Drinking more than the recommmended daily amounts regularly you are putting your health at risk. Alcohol abuse in large quantities increases blood pressure.

Alcohol misuse is often connected with mental health problems. A recent British survey found that people with anxiety or depression were twice as likely to be heavy drinkers.

Large quantities of drinking may occasionally cause ‘psychosis’, a harsh mental illness where the person beleives others are plotting against them. Consuming large amounts of alcohol can lead to isolation and depression.

Many people have anger management problems when they drink alcohol. Would you say that you are one of these people or do you know a person who struggles to control their anger when they are drunk? If you have answered “yes” to this question then this article may well be of interest to you.

I am not personally involved with anger management as a career, I actually offer people help to gain lower business overheads.

Only this morning did I read about how when under the influence of alcohol two men killed another man. They had become involved with an altercation with another man and one of the men then decided to punch him. He fell to the ground and then the second man for some unknown reason kicked him in the head. It is thought that it was his head hitting the pavement that caused him to die however the two men were still sent to jail.

Three men and their family and friends have had their lives ruined - basically due to the over consumption of alcohol. I seriously doubt whether they would have acted in this way had they been sober not that this in anyway should be a defence.

The two men have gone on record to say how ashamed and sorry they are; not that this will really help in any way. Let us not also forget the families of these two men, they will have also been badly affected by this whole sorry event.

There is also the person who has tragically died, such a waste of a precious life. I have and will continue to pray for them all. I have to say that it is a real tragedy.

I have actually completely stopped drinking alcohol, something that when I was younger helped me to speak in a fluent manner. I had a stutter for eighteen years of my life and alcohol enabled me to gain the confidence to talk without the fear of stuttering.

I have now managed to overcome the stutter and with the help of a DVD authoring company have produced a seventy minute DVD which describes my journey to fluency along with the techniques required to stop stuttering.

If you are a person who is unable to control their anger when drunk then please learn the lessons from above before your also ruin peoples lives.
