Alcohol
Alcohol has been around for over 8000 years, Archaeologists have found that by 6400 B.C. people had discovers how to make alcohol in the form of Beer and Berry Wine. The distillation process where fermented solution containing alcohol was heated and the vapours collected and condensed into liquid to create "spirits" have been believed to be discovered in Arabia. Egyptians, Hebrews, Greeks and Roman leaders were all notorious for their drinking habits. By the 1500's distillation of whiskey was common in Ireland. It was also reported that the people Columbus met in the Caribbean had their own Beer. People have proved that society needs alcohol. All attempts to suppress alcohol in Europe and America have failed, and in the US alcohol consumption actually increased during Prohibition period. Today Ethyl alcohol is the effective chemical in the millions of different alcoholic products available on the market. People usually start drinking between 13-14 years of age on weekends or at social events. As they get older they tend to drink more, at age 13, 40% of teens claim to be nondrinkers but by the time they reach 18 the total is reduced to 10%. Teenagers start to drink for many reasons:
Alcohol seems to be a very enjoyable experience and is done on a regular basis. By reducing inhibitions a person gets the perception that alcohol enhances social and physical pleasure, sexual performance, power and social assertiveness. Pain is usually felt after drinking. When someone is taken by alcoholism they are taken physically and psychologically. The person uses alcohol as a shield from all problems and blames everything else for them. Progressive- it means that the problem will get worse without any help. Stage 1 (Learning stage) This happens when someone experiments, its first experiences. You have to recognize that you have a problem and acknowledge that you have tried everything that you know to solve it and none of it has worked. 5) Physical Predisposition to Alcoholism- Some people are physically predisposed to develop alcohol addiction because of body physiology, brain and central nervous system chemistry, metabolism and genetic structure. ------------------------------------------------------------------------**Bibliography**. 1) Experimentation- Curiosity to feel the effects that they hear from others. This stage usually lasts for about 3 to 5 years. It's considered a disease because it's primary, progressive, and chronic. Stage 3 (Dependency) Like I describe before the person is hooked and classic signs of alcoholism are shown. Why does a person feel so good when they are drinking, well that's because:Alcohol reduces anxiety, inhibitions and creates a false sense of well being.
