Alcohol Abuse and Your Health

In this article “Alcohol Abuse and Your Health,” it mentions that the rate of drinking of the students who attend full-time university is normally higher than other students who didn't attend full-time university. The men is higher than women at the percent of the binge drinking or heavy drinking and, the number of the alcohol use and drinker is increasing and tend to increase by peoples' ages. However, although the number of people increased,, the rate of binge drinking or heavy drinking wasn't changed remarkably. According to this article, there is a relation between alcohol, brain, and heart. The brain of the man who overdrink alcohol is smaller, lighter, and more shrunken and chronic alcohol abuser and alcoholics are tend to lose their brains' ability. And proper drinking is good to the health, but overdrinking is harmful to the heart. Driving behavior is closely connected with alcohol, and more alcohol drinking. The more they drink, the more frequency of the crash and mistakes increase. Moreover, if eyes and vision are damaged, we can't judge rightly and the brain and muscles of the drunken person don''t operate correctly also, because most of the information the brain receive come through vision of eyes. Furthermore, when we drive we have to do 3-4 simultaneous tasks at the same time. But they can't do them because the people who drink alcohol can only focus and concentrate on one task.


I agree that there is a close relation between alcohol and driving. Although drinking is good for making good relation with others and living socially, the amount have to be proper. Not much. Of course I believe that the traffic fatalities like car crash are happened too much by the such reason that the function of our body like vision, decisions, and ability of the brain become worse in the case of the person who drink too much. But I can't say "never drink alcohol", because nowadays alcohol make people close, make them share their secret, and promote relation with not only same sex, but also other sex. However, the people who overdrink alcohol make mistakes or happening too much, and they often damage other people because of absence of right decision. When you drink alcohol, you have to keep in mind. I think that proper drinking offer us a good vitamin to live society. But Don't forget! "too much alcohol is NOT good for your life in many ways."
