Problem description:

What's the harm of drinking too much?

Analysis:

1. Cognitive therapy: Through movies, television, radio, pictures, objects, discussions and other media, alcoholics can correct their attitude towards alcohol, correctly understand the harm of imported alcohol, and persist in correcting their addiction to alcohol ideologically. Public opinion intervention and compulsory administrative means have an absolute effect on abstinence, but active abstinence should be advocated.

2. Gradually reduce the amount of drinking: stop drinking in a planned way and avoid a withdrawal to avoid addiction symptoms.

3. With the help of drugs: Because drinking is an addictive behavior, it takes considerable efforts to correct the bad behavior of this habit. Sometimes you need the help of drugs, which can improve the success rate of withdrawal.

4. Anti-evil therapy: This is a behavior correction method. Its purpose is not only to get euphoria when drinking, but to have a painful experience and form a negative conditioned reflex. Commonly used drugs.

5. Auxiliary methods: In order to correct bad habits, biofeedback, system desensitization and other auxiliary methods are often combined to achieve satisfactory results, but this requires the guidance and help of psychologists.

6. Family therapy: Imported wine often brings misfortune to the family, but the best environment that restricts it is also the family. Therefore, family members should help patients, let them know the harm of alcoholism, establish the determination and confidence to quit drinking, sign a good agreement with patients, regularly give patients alcohol, and gradually give up alcohol addiction. At the same time, create a good family atmosphere, ease the psychological crux of patients with affection and warmth, and let them feel the warmth of the family.

7. Group therapy: Patients set up various abstinence associations to carry out self-education and mutual restraint to help achieve the purpose of abstinence.

If you want to completely quit the habit of drinking, the most important thing is subjective understanding Only with a clear understanding can we have a firm belief and correct habitual drinking behavior.

Go home every night, pretend to be drunk and do something crazy. If your father scolds you, you can tell him that he did the same thing himself, and so on, so that your father can understand the disadvantages of wine, which may be used. Give it a try! !

Give up drinking and eat less spicy food. I'll tell you the simplest method: buy a box of moxa sticks (about 10 yuan) in a Chinese medicine shop, light it, and bake Guo Li point by yourself (5 inches above the medial malleolus, note: the medial malleolus is about 13 inches below the knee, which is a Chinese medicine measurement method, not a legal unit).

Unless sometimes (such as a serious accident) leads to a medical emergency, alcoholics will not be forced to accept the help of abstinence, but there is no need to deliberately cause a serious car accident to persuade your family to quit drinking.

Harm of drinking alcohol

In our daily life, we often drink beer, wine and white wine. The source, brewing technology and alcohol content of all kinds of wines are different. Alcohol usually refers to the percentage of alcohol content in wine (by volume), such as Beijing beer with 5.4% alcohol and wine with about11-kloc-0/6% alcohol, which is usually called11-kloc-0/6%.

Article 7 of the Dietary Guidelines for China Residents is "Drinking should be * * *", and there is a paragraph explaining the harm of excessive drinking. Drinking a small amount of low-alcohol wine is not necessarily harmful, but drinking too much or even drinking too much is definitely harmful. So what can I drink? How to limit alcohol consumption?

A large number of data in epidemiological studies show that if the daily alcohol consumption does not exceed 24 grams of ethanol, which is equivalent to 540 ml of beer, 200 ml of fruit wine and 60 ml of 40-degree liquor, the risk will be reduced.

Long-term drinking will lead to a variety of nutrient deficiencies in the body. Wine is one of the foods with pure heat energy. Can be decomposed in the body to produce energy. However, it does not contain any nutrients. Excessive drinking first reduces the intake of other foods containing many important nutrients (such as protein, vitamins and minerals). Secondly, it can reduce appetite, reduce food intake, and damage intestinal mucosa for a long time, affecting intestinal absorption of nutrients, which can lead to a variety of nutritional deficiencies.

The alcohol in wine has a direct toxic effect on the tissues and organs of the body, and the organ most sensitive to alcohol is the liver. Excessive drinking will damage liver cells and interfere with the normal metabolism of the liver, which will lead to alcoholic hepatitis and cirrhosis.

Excessive drinking affects fat metabolism. Ethanol slows down the oxidation of fatty acids, which may be beneficial to the storage of dietary lipids, increase the synthesis of liver fat, increase the content of triglycerides in serum and increase the possibility of triglycerides.

In addition, population epidemiological studies show that long-term excessive drinking will increase the risk of hypertension and stroke. Alcoholism can also lead to violent accidents and endanger personal health and social security.

Recently, people often talk about the beneficial effects of fruit wine. A report in France found that the incidence of coronary heart disease in some drinking areas is lower than that in other areas. However, the reduction of the risk of heart disease cannot be attributed to some ingredients in red wine, because in areas with high consumption of French red wine, vegetables and fruits are also consumed more, and their antioxidant capacity is higher. These data show that the lifestyle of people who drink fruit wine (such as less smoking and high consumption of vegetables and fruits) leads to a decrease in the risk of cardiovascular disease.

To sum up, drinking alcohol has advantages and disadvantages to human health. Drinking a small amount of low-alcohol wine has certain benefits, but drinking a large amount for a long time is harmful. Especially teenagers and pregnant women. Teenagers are in the stage of growth and development and are more sensitive to the harm of alcohol. So teenagers can't drink. The harm of alcohol to pregnant women affects fetal development and even induces fetal congenital malformation, so pregnant women are absolutely forbidden to drink alcohol.

Excessive drinking: the harm is not shallow

Although "no wine, no table", at the same time, wine is also "intestinal toxicity", and excessive drinking brings a lot of harm. Every year, I don't know how many people have accidents because of drinking, how many people have ruined their lives, and how much health has disappeared between bottles and cans.

Heartbreaking, excessive drinking breeds tragedy.

According to a statistical data of Peking University Institute of Mental Health, the number of drinkers in China has been on the rise in recent years. At present, the drinking rates of men and women in China are 84. 1% and 29.3% respectively, of which men 16. 1% and women 2.5% drink alcohol every day. 1982, the incidence of alcohol dependence in China was only 0. 16‰, which was more than three times that of 1990, and the alcoholics were younger and the proportion of women was increasing.

According to a set of data from the World Health Organization, the mortality and morbidity caused by alcohol are the sum of measles and malaria, which is also higher than that caused by smoking. In China, 1 14 100 people die of alcoholism every year, accounting for1.3% of the total mortality; 2.737 million people are disabled, accounting for 3.0% of the total disability rate.

Speaking of the tragedy caused by drinking, Professor Qu Yao, director of Shanghai Hepatology Research Center, told the reporter a story: A middle-aged patient with acute icteric hepatitis just returned to normal was discharged from the hospital, which coincided with the continuous wedding banquets during the Spring Festival. At first, he could still remember the doctor's repeated instructions when he was discharged from the hospital, and he didn't touch a drop of wine, no matter who advised him. But at a special dinner table, a close friend asked him what he smelled. He finally couldn't resist the temptation of Maotai, thinking that he would be fine if he only drank a small cup and tasted something new! But the day after drinking this cup of wine, he found that his urine was yellow, weak and disgusting ... It was this cup of wine that caused his hepatitis to recur and quickly developed into acute severe hepatitis, and eventually he lost his life because of ineffective rescue.

Excessive drinking has not only led to countless tragic events, but also seriously affected the image of individuals and even countries. Former Russian President Yeltsin is one of them.

It is said that one day in September, 1994, Yeltsin, then Russian President, flew back to Moscow from Washington and was scheduled to have a 40-minute meeting with Irish Prime Minister Reynolds. The day before he left Washington, US President Bill Clinton hosted a banquet for him. Although there is no wine on the table, there is everything in it. Yeltsin only ate a small piece of meat, but raised his glasses frequently, and the cups bottomed out. After the wine reached the top, Yeltsin talked a lot, saying a lot of rude words and "three-level jokes." The translator racked his brains to "purify" the dirty words he said. When the plane approached the Shannon airport, Yeltsin woke up, and his wife handed him a shirt, but his buttoned hand never listened. The accompanying officials saw something bad. After some discussion, they decided to let the Deputy Prime Minister have a brief meeting with Reynolds on behalf of the President. When the Vice Premier got off the plane, Yeltsin said to the accompanying officials in tears, "What you did made me lose face in front of the whole world." .

Excessive drinking is harmful to health.

"If you drink too much, it is the liver that hurts the most." Professor Qu Yao pointed out: "The core chemical of wine is alcohol (namely ethanol), and drunkenness is actually alcoholism. Because more than 90% of alcohol enters the body through the liver, its metabolites and the metabolic disorder of hepatocytes caused by them are the main causes of alcoholic liver injury. According to research, normal people drink 40 grams to 80 grams a day on average, and alcoholic liver disease can occur in 10 years, such as cirrhosis in 160 grams a day and 8 ~ 10 years on average. What a sensational figure! "

Professor Li Youming, vice president of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, told the reporter that he led a scientific research team to make a survey on the alcohol intake of 20,000 people in urban and rural areas of Zhejiang Province. The results show that the prevalence rate of alcoholic liver disease in this population is 4.34%, and 48% of people who drink more than 40 grams a day for more than five years will suffer from alcoholic liver disease in different degrees. Alcoholic liver disease basically occurs in drinkers who have been drinking for more than 5 years and their total alcohol intake exceeds 100 kg.

Studies have shown that excessive drinking is more than twice as high as non-excessive drinking, the incidence of thyroid cancer increases by 30% ~ 150%, and the incidence of skin cancer increases by 20% ~ 70%. The risk of breast cancer in women increases by 20% ~ 60%. Among patients with esophageal cancer, 60% drink excessively, and only 2% don't drink. Patients with hepatitis B are at greater risk of liver cancer. If they drink alcohol or drink too much, the incidence of liver cancer will increase greatly.

In addition, excessive drinking will also have adverse effects on other parts of the body:

Drinking more alcohol in the brain has serious damage to memory, attention, judgment, function and emotional response. Drinking too much can lead to slurred speech, blurred vision and loss of balance.

Alcohol in reproductive organs will cause the decline of male quality; For pregnant women, even a small amount of alcohol will increase the risk of physical defects of unborn babies.

People who drink a lot of alcohol in the heart will develop cardiomyopathy, which can lead to the weakening and damage of muscle tissue of the heart, while the proliferation of fibrous tissue will seriously affect the function of the heart.

A large amount of alcohol in the stomach will cause discomfort symptoms of acute gastritis, and continuous intake of alcohol will lead to more serious chronic gastritis.

(1) Excessive drinking will cause the following disadvantages.

1. Death: Alcohol can inhibit the respiratory center of the medulla oblongata, causing respiratory arrest, and the drop of blood sugar may also be a fatal factor.

2. Malabsorption syndrome causes various vitamin deficiencies, which indirectly leads to various nervous system injuries.

(2) the influence of long-term heavy drinking

1. Liver injury: fatty liver caused by accumulation of liver fat.

2. Gastric ulcer: It can cause gastric bleeding and endanger life.

3. Nervous system damage: such as peripheral neuropathy.

4. Cerebral cortex atrophy: It is reported that some chronic alcoholics have cerebral cortex atrophy, and some patients have signs of mental decline.

5. Alcohol fetal syndrome group: the metabolism and excretion of alcohol in the fetus are slow, which causes various injuries to the developing fetus, including fetal malformation, stillbirth, growth retardation and behavioral defects.

(3) the influence of alcoholism on family life

1. Emotional excitability, temper tantrums, poor judgment and control, easy to conflict with people, sensitive to the outside world and high crime rate.

2. Spouses and children are often the targets of violence.

3. Mental trance affects work efficiency.

4. The alienation of relatives and friends makes alcoholics suffer more frustration and pressure and become more self-destructive.

The stock market makes people sad, and many people drown their sorrows by drinking. Doctors pointed out today that although alcohol can temporarily anesthetize yourself and escape from the immediate predicament, long-term drinking will lead to mental illness such as depression, and it is also easy to cause malnutrition, which is harmful to physical and mental health.

Yang Shangru, a physician in the Affiliated Hospital of Kaohsiung Medical University, pointed out that alcohol is an inhibitor of the central nervous system. Excessive drinking will not only damage health, but also damage attention or memory, and even lead to coma.

He also said that if you suddenly give up drinking after drinking for a long time, you will have withdrawal symptoms, and the nerve tissue that has been suppressed for a long time will rebound and show excessive excitement; About 40% alcoholics have experienced the symptoms of major depression, and most of them escape from reality by drinking. The two are mutually causal, and excessive drinking can easily induce psychosis such as dementia.

He pointed out that alcohol addicts use alcohol as the main energy source for a long time and lack other food nutrition, which is easy to cause malnutrition.

Yang Shangru emphasized that psychological problems should be alleviated by psychologists or other channels. Eliminating anxiety through alcohol will not only aggravate anxiety, but also damage physical and mental health, which is not worth the candle.

Alcohol can be promiscuous, and drunken accidents emerge one after another. In addition, its influence on the body is endless, such as:

■ Ways to help your family stop drinking.

Unless sometimes (such as a serious accident) leads to a medical emergency, alcoholics will not be forced to accept the help of abstinence, but there is no need to deliberately cause a serious car accident to persuade your family to quit drinking. Many alcoholics have put forward the following ways to help stop drinking.

1. Don't hide all the wine.

Families often find some excuses to try to hide the wine to prevent them from drinking too much. Don't do this, let them experience the consequences of drinking.

2. Grasp the best time to persuade wine.

The best time to talk to alcoholics is after asking questions related to drinking (for example, after a fierce family quarrel or accident). Choose a time when he or she is quiet and you can have a private conversation.

3. Special care.

Tell your family to worry about his or her drinking problem. If necessary, use some examples of injuries caused by drinking, including some recent events.

4. Tell the results.

Explain to the drinker what you would do if he or she didn't ask for help-not blame, but take some measures to avoid his or her problems, such as refusing to participate in some social activities that provide alcohol and leaving home to stay away from alcohol. Don't do anything rash.

Ask for help.

Collect information about alcohol treatment in your community in advance. If he or she needs help, call immediately to make an appointment with a treatment consultant. It is recommended that you accompany a treatment plan for the first time.

6. Mobilize friends.

If a family member still refuses to get help, ask a friend to talk to him or her in the above way. Friends who have just overcome alcoholism may be persuasive, but anyone who is sympathetic and easy-going may be helpful. It usually takes more than one person to talk a few times, so that alcoholics can gradually ask for help.

7. seek synergy.

With the help of a medical and nursing professional organization, some families and their relatives and friends formed a group to overcome alcoholism. The implementation of this method can only be guided by experienced professional institutions.

8. Get support.

It is important to remember that you are not alone. Support some community-provided organizations to help family members realize that they are not only responsible for personal drinking problems.

Alcoholism treatment is suitable for many people. But just like some chronic diseases, treatment has different results. Some people stop drinking and try to control themselves, while others start drinking after a period of inactivity. As for treatment, it is obvious that the longer a person abstains from alcohol, the more likely he is to keep a clear head.

The key to abstaining from alcohol addiction is to eliminate the psychological barriers of patients, but some drugs (Disulfuron) can be used to overcome the physiological needs in the early stage of abstinence. For example, disulfiram and benzodiazepines, commonly used in the treatment of sympathetic hyperactivity, are used to reduce the severity of withdrawal reaction, tremor and epilepsy. However, if you want to fully relax yourself, in addition to psychological adjustment of stress, please do more exercise and avoid eating exciting food (coffee, etc.). ), get enough sleep and continuously adjust your daily routine for a long time, which can effectively adjust your psychological tension.

Suffering from alcohol dependence. Alcohol dependence is a psychological state of craving for alcohol caused by long-term repeated drinking. Alcohol is not only an anesthetic, but also a new nerve substance. Long-term drinking will lead to alcohol dependence. Some alcoholics will have symptoms such as tremor, hallucination, disturbance of consciousness, muscle twitching and autonomic nervous dysfunction after abstinence, which is called withdrawal syndrome or alcohol dependence syndrome.

The clinical manifestations of alcohol dependence are:

1. Dependent drinking experience: After drinking, I soon realized that I was very happy, and I talked too much after drinking, feeling nervous and tired. It is under the control of this experience that people drink constantly every day, and their thirst for alcohol is getting heavier and heavier, and withdrawal syndrome will appear when they stop drinking.

2. Psychological dependence: that is, the thirst for alcohol increases with the increase of drinking time, so that withdrawal will occur when drinking is stopped. In order to satisfy the craving for cigarettes and avoid abstinence from alcohol, people will look around for drinks.

3. Physical dependence: Physical dependence has been formed when withdrawal syndrome occurs in the process of abstinence. At this time, if you stop drinking, you may have different degrees of physical and mental symptoms. In order to satisfy the craving and the painful experience without withdrawal symptoms, the dependent person can drink alcohol regardless of time, place and surrounding conditions. In severe cases, drinking has become the center of all activities, giving people the feeling that the patient's personality has changed.

4. Withdrawal syndrome: early manifestations are anxiety, depression, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, chills, sweating, palpitations, irregular pulse, poor sleep, nightmares, and partial hypertension; Tremor, hallucination, disturbance of consciousness, epilepsy, etc. Happens with progress.

5. Tolerance: At the beginning, in order to achieve a good drinking experience, the amount of drinking gradually increased, but after reaching a certain level, with the deepening of poisoning and the growth of age, the amount of drinking gradually decreased. Patients often want to be drunk, but they may appear unsanitary and don't care about the surrounding environment and family.

6. Physical complications: Alcohol is toxic to all cells of the body. Besides the central nervous system, it is also harmful to the liver, gallbladder, stomach, heart and kidney. Widespread malnutrition is very common.

According to the above, it is not difficult to diagnose alcohol dependence, but if it is not treated as soon as possible, the consequences will be serious. The key to treatment is abstinence from alcohol. Addicts' thirst for alcohol and physical dependence often make them unable to extricate themselves and need to cut off the source of alcohol to succeed.
