Describe the various effects of alcohol.

Answer:

Ans.     Effects of alcohol are following:

All alcohol beverages contain ethyl alcohol.

This chemical is absorbed into the blood and carried into the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) where it depresses or slows down functioning.

Ethyl alcohol depresses those areas in the brain that control judgment and inhibition—people become more talkative and friendly, and they feel more confident and happy.

As alcohol is absorbed, it affects other areas of the brain, e.g., drinkers are unable to make sound judgement, speech becomes less careful and less clear and memory falters—many people become emotional, loud and aggressive.

Motor difficulties increase, e.g., people become unsteady when they walk and clumsy in performing simple activities; vision becomes blurred and they have trouble in hearing; they have difficulty in driving or in solving simple problems.
