Alcoholism: The Effects of Alcohol on the Brain
Symptoms of Intoxication
Symptoms include difficulty of walking, impaired vision, speech becomes slurred and illegible, reaction times are slowed , and memory is impaired.
Organism That Causes The Disease
In alcoholism no one organism is responsible. The alcohol when consumed through drinking is sent straight to the intestines and enters the bloodstream from there as well.
The Body's Defense for Alcoholism
After the alcohol has circulated through the bloodstream the liver eventually absorbs it. The liver cannot absorb on average more than 1 drink in an hour.
Medicines to Help Fight the Effects of Alcoholism
There are no medicines that can reduce the effects or damage of alcoholism, some pills have been known to reduce the late occurring effects of alcoholism, better known as a "hangover" such as a headache and weak stomach.
Prognosis
The immediate damage to brain-cells that alcoholism causes can not be repaired or revived. Liver damage can be operated upon but usually can never be fully treated. The most common form of help an alcoholic can receive is rehabilitation, where the patient take steps to stop consuming alcohol. Blood Pressure is also known to rise with the use of alcohol which increases the risk of heart attack. Careful diet and exercise blood pressure can be brought back down.
