SEC-S13 / W5 | "How can alcohol cause damage to your health! 🍺"
🍺 When can we say that a person is an alcoholic? Give reasons for your answer!
In the current generation, so many people are very alcoholic unlike the way it was those days and I think is as a result of the numerous amount of alcohol we have now because alcohols weren't much before. When we see an alcoholic person, is no longer difficult for us to recognize them and the following are things a person do that can make us to say that he/she is alcoholic;
When the person still drinks alcohol even after the person is seeing negative effects on their body.
When the person drinks alcohol more the way they do in the past.
When the person drinks just to forget their sorrows and pains and to boldly face life.
When the person is finding it difficult to stop this bad habit and so many others.
🍺 Do you think alcohol is a drug? justify your answer!
Yes alcohol is a drug, it shows that is a drug in so many ways. Alcohol can make someone sleepy and weak and am sure you know there's a drug that does this same thing. Alcohol is what people drink to feel or be energized, some will say they want to be high in other to handle some kind things.
I discovered that it is also a drug in the aspect where it can make someone to feel thirsty because it can depletes body fluids. I remember a man that was drinking with his friends three months ago in a meeting and he began to vomit all of a sudden, it was his first time in drinking excess alcohol, his wife was called and they took him home, the man was ashamed and vowed never to drink alcohol again.
🍺Can alcoholism be considered a disease? How to control it!
When a person who takes too much alcohol can't stop, it becomes an habit to the person and this is very dangerous, in a case like this, alcohol becomes a disease. It has so many bad effects that can damage the life of it's victim entirely and it might lead to an untimely death.
Alcohol contains lots of chemicals and these chemicals tend to always weakened the immune system of this victim. I might call alcohol a communicable disease because it can be transferred to someone through peer pressure and other ways, so many adults started drinking from their teenage age.
🍺Is every drinker considered an alcoholic?
Not every drinker is an alcoholic person because alot of people knows how to control themselves when taking alcohol unlike the alcoholic ones. People take alcohol and set lots of limit, they don't also take alcohol all the time as they can do without it.
Even before I reached 18 I drank or should I say I tasted alcohol, it doesn't even have a better taste like those soft drinks we mostly drink, although I can easily get addicted to alcohols that are cold that's why I don't even go close to alcohol at all, I do alot of positive things that keeps me busy so that I don't think about all those unnecessary things. Thanks so much for reading friends.

You are absolutely right that if a person keeps drinking continuously, it will have a harmful effect on his body and due to which it has a negative effect on many parts of his body and sometimes the problem becomes so serious that it People also die.
Sure, alcohol is very bad and I dislike it alot. Thanks for stopping by, have an ice cream 🍨
Sure 😃
I really love your write up, I saw your comment and decided to see what you wrote on the topic.
There is an interesting twist about Alcoholism. We have drunkards that are not alcoholic and also have alcoholics who are not drunkards.
Functional alcoholic are alcoholics who may never get drunk. I have explained it in my entry on alcoholism
Thanks so much for stopping by as well sir, most times I wonder why the government still allows alcohol business to move when is killing people, most especially cigarettes.
It's interesting to know you've given real life example of how you took alcohol to show it's not harmless. When it is harmless is when you take in in excess of probably you are not just uses to taking it but pressured to do so. It's also interesting to know that the way alcohol is emphasized today compared to the days, many need awareness. Although alcohol can be good but it can be very detriment to one's health. Wishing you best of luck in this challenge
Thanks for the comment bro, I wish I could engage more this week.
Ohkay Boss.
I love the definition you gave here. You made a valid point here .some people drink alcohol but that doesn’t make them alcoholics. Some an only be said to be an alcoholic when they do not have the ability to stop drinking even when they do not want to drink. I have expanded and I reiterated this on my post alcohol damage to health
