The Problem with Alcohol

Humans like to become intoxicated. Fermented, liquid foods that contain alcohol are used worldwide in parties, celebrations and rituals. It is common for fermented foods to be included in the daily diet. Small doses of fermented foods relax inhibitions and can feel pleasant in social situations. Larger doses are toxic to the brain and disable the drinker.

The regular abuse of alcoholic beverages is called "alcoholism. The stigma  attached to the term "alcoholism" remains an obstacle to understanding this common problem.

There is a tendency to deny or to "normalize" excessive drinking. The use of alcoholic beverages is woven into the fabric of society and excessive use of alcohol is often considered "normal"  Regular ingestion of alcoholic beverage in excess produces many disease patterns involving every part of the body. Even “moderate” alcohol abuse distorts the personality, emotions and intellect of the "social drinker." The cognitive impairments and personality distortion are a direct consequence of brain dysfunction cause by ethanol and other chemical pathogens in alcoholic beverages.

Alcohol abuse is considered to be an addiction and some argue about calling alcoholism a “disease.” The term “addiction” refers both the compulsive aspect of drinking and also to the harm drinking causes. The drinker harms himself, his family and the community at large. A reasonable person will notice the harm he or she is causing and will seek to remedy the problem. An addict ignores the harm and remains devoted to ingesting alcoholic beverages no matter how much harm is caused.

Intoxication with alcoholic beverages generates behaviors that are regrettable and often destructive. Drunk people do much harm to themselves and others. The main drug effect is exerted by ethanol on the brain. As blood levels of ethanol increase, more and more brain functions are shut-down, rendering the intoxicant temporarily demented, with inappropriate behavior, incoordination and poor judgment. Alcohol intoxication routinely promotes fighting, assaults and death by accident or murder.

Main Features of alcohol abuse

1. Alcohol in excess will cause disease – many diseases, in fact.

2. Alcoholics harm others and can become destructive and dangerous citizens. Alcohol abuse is more common, more damaging, more dangerous and more costly than abuse of all other drugs.

3. Many fine people have lost careers, good reputations, marriage, family, friends, and property. The story of alcoholism is always tragic.

4. Recovery involves a firm and enduring decision to stop drinking. Recovery involves a strategy of self-regulation that includes proper diet, excellent nutrition and new, non-drinking friends.

The Three Truths

1. Mind, brain, and body are one, interacting, whole-system. Disturbances in mental states are disturbances in the body and have physical causes such as drinking alcoholic beverages.

2. The brain is a delicate, precision instrument that is prone to error and requires careful input management. The brain is often the first organ to malfunction when the chemical input is wrong.

3  Foods and drinks as body-input, is the molecular substrate of body-mind, the foundation level, which permits or denies healthy function at higher levels of integration. Without a healthy body-input, mental health is an impossible goal.
