In our society there has been a bad impression on alcohol takers or drunkard.  We hate drunkards, and also blame his friend circle and his surrounding with a thought that have they made him a drunkard. To free the man from this stage people prefer different ways. Some consult the doctors, some pray god, and some go on scolding the luck. But above all it is very difficult for the drunkards to leave alcohol. They are automatically attracted by the alcohol. Now we must study about the effects of this alcohol which make a man so crazy about it.

Alcohol is present in our body all the times. After every meal we eat the carbohydrates, starch and sugar form alcohol and enter the blood stream. So there is always about a gram of alcohol circulating in our body.

But what happens if we take in additional alcohol? Alcohol is a narcotic which is how we describe a substance which enters nerve cells quickly and tends to paralyze them. But before any narcotic paralyzed, it stimulates nerve cells, putting them in a state of excitement. So, alcohol first act as stimulant than as a narcotic.

At first alcohol in our body, stimulate the gastric and salivary glands to produce their justices. That’s why many European people take aperitifs made of spicy wines to stimulate the appetite.

The body absorbs warm alcohol solutions very quickly and sugar and carbon dioxide speed up the absorption too. That’s why it acts so quickly and produces such a stimulating effect. Secondly as the effect of stimulation, the action and speech is speeded up. The skin gets redder, blood pressure rises, the heart beats faster and breathing is quickened.

But alcohol soon exerts a depressing effect on the brain. Our ability to observe, think and pay attention is affected. As the higher functions of the brain are paralyzed, the power to control mood is lost.

Another serious effect is that inhibitions are relaxed. In our body there are nerve fibers called inhibitory fibers which act as brakes in the nervous system. They are developed as the result of education and training and make us disciplined, restrained people.

Under the influence of alcohol these inhibitory fibers are paralyzed, our controls are relaxed. Our Judgment is unclear and we are ready to say and to things we would never do if our minds were normal. Alcohol has produced a state of dankness!
