What does it mean to be drunk?

Alcoholism encompasses both "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence". In general, alcohol abuse occurs when a person is unable to exercise self-control from excessive use of alcohol, resulting in cognitive, behavioral, physical, social, or interpersonal impairments or impairments, and knowingly and without restraint. If it worsens, you see drinking as more important than anything else, you have to spend a lot of time or energy drinking or quitting drinking, or you have to drink to feel comfortable (psychological dependence), or you have to increase your alcohol intake to achieve the desired effect (tolerance), or you have alcohol withdrawal syndrome, you reach the level of "alcohol dependence".

Alcoholism may be due to genetic damage.

Popova and Ivanova, experts from the Institute of Cell and Genetics of the Russian Academy of Sciences, believe that damage to the monoaminooxidase gene may be the main reason for the excessive drinking of some alcoholics.

Ordinary people will experience numbness and drowsiness after drinking a certain amount of alcohol, but alcoholics usually drink a lot of alcohol and are not prone to these drunken states. According to the Russian newspaper "Izvestia", Popova and Ivanova found that when the mice were damaged by the monoaminooxidase gene and could not function, the mice would drink excessively.

Further studies have shown that the monoaminooxidase gene can produce a protein that controls the concentration of serotonin, dopamine, norepinephrine and other neuromediators in mice, so that after ingesting a certain amount of alcohol, the nervous system of ordinary mice will first be excited, then inhibited, and then appear drunk. In mice with a damaged monoaminooxidase gene, the concentration of neural mediators was much higher than in ordinary mice. Thus, after ingesting large amounts of alcohol, genetically damaged mice were still able to stay in a state of excitement for a long time without getting drunk.

In addition, this rat is extremely aggressive.

Dependence on alcohol is similar to poisoned drinking.

Drinking a lot of alcohol is drinking more greedily, and it can even be said that it is a drunkenness, which is not the same as drinking.

The northern dialect is a common name for such people who are alcoholic and often drunk.

Alcoholism refers to the excessive consumption of alcohol without moderation, and it also refers to drunkenness. Drinking alcohol that exceeds the standard for moderate drinking or general social drinking. Heavy alcohol consumption is often determined by drinking more than a certain amount of alcohol per day (eg, 3 standard drinks per day) or at a time (eg, 5 standard drinks at a time, at least once a week).

Same as: Heavy drinking: Excessive drinking; Standard cups.

Alcoholism encompasses both "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence". In general, "alcohol abuse" occurs when a person is unable to exercise self-control from excessive use of alcohol, resulting in cognitive, behavioral, physical, social, or interpersonal impairments or influences, and knowingly refraining from restraint.

The catabolism of alcohol in the human body is mainly based on two enzymes: one is alcohol dehydrogenase and the other is acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. Alcohol dehydrogenase removes two hydrogen atoms from an alcohol molecule, causing ethanol to decompose into acetaldehyde.

Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase, on the other hand, removes the two hydrogen atoms from acetaldehyde, so that acetaldehyde is decomposed into carbon dioxide and water. If the human body has these two enzymes, it can break down alcohol more quickly, and the central nervous system is less affected by alcohol, so even after drinking a certain amount of alcohol, it will be fine. In the general human body, ethanol dehydrogenase exists, and the amount is basically equal.

However, there are more people who lack acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. The lack of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase makes alcohol unable to be completely decomposed into water and carbon dioxide, but continues to remain in the body with acetaldehyde, causing people to have drunken symptoms such as nausea and vomiting, coma and discomfort after drinking.

Therefore, the above-mentioned people who are not good at drinking alcohol and drink below a reasonable standard are those who have insufficient or complete deficiency of acetaldehyde dehydrogenase. For people who are good drinkers, drunkenness can also occur if they drink too much and too quickly, exceeding the ability of the two enzymes to break down.

Alcoholism refers to excessive drinking without moderation, which reduces or even loses self-control to varying degrees, and alcoholism can poison the liver and damage liver function. Excessive alcohol consumption can increase the burden on the liver (the ingested alcohol mainly depends on the liver for oxidative decomposition), so that liver cells are damaged and degenerated, and eventually lead to cirrhosis of the liver, which is medically called "alcoholic liver". In Europe and the United States, alcoholic cirrhosis accounts for 50-90% of all liver cirrhosis.

Long-term alcoholics affect fat metabolism and can cause fatty liver. Alcohol can cause liver cirrhosis due to liver cell degeneration, necrosis, and fibrous tissue proliferation. Cirrhosis is now one of the top five causes of death among men aged 25 to 64 years, mainly due to high alcohol consumption.

Alcoholism, literally, is often uncontrolled drinking, drunk in all aspects of uncontrolled, a very bad habit of life, to the individual, family, society has a certain harm.

Alcoholism refers to excessive drinking without moderation. It can cause people to lose and reduce their self-control ability to varying degrees, and to carry out certain behaviors that are offensive to morals or illegal crimes. Criminal law and criminologists in various countries believe that the behavior of alcoholism has a certain degree of social harm, but the understanding of the severity of the harm is different.

Alcoholism encompasses both "alcohol abuse" and "alcohol dependence". Generally speaking, if a person uses alcohol excessively and is unable to control himself, resulting in cognitive, behavioral, physical, social, or interpersonal impairments or influences, and knowingly refraining from restraint, he or she is "alcohol abuse". If it worsens, you see drinking as more important than anything else, you have to spend a lot of time or energy drinking or quitting drinking, or you have to drink to feel comfortable (psychological dependence), or you have to increase your alcohol intake to achieve the desired effect (tolerance), or you have alcohol withdrawal syndrome, you reach the level of "alcohol dependence".
