Why scientists do not advise to fill in a grief with alcohol

Fans of strong drinks should pay attention to results of the recent researches conducted by the American scientists. It became clear that alcohol intake has unknown earlier harmful consequences.

Scientists from the USA established that abuse of alcohol does not help "to fill in a grief at all" as it is considered to be at some people. He forces to endure negative traumatic memoirs much longer, than at a sober way of life. Alcoholic beverages have special impact on a brain and nervous system of the person, aggravating the unpleasant feelings experienced in a difficult situation in memory. At the same time the mentality of the teetotal person promotes faster recovering from the endured trauma. It follows from this that the people leading a sober life are capable to forget without any problems about unpleasant situations which occurred in their life, and alcohol in this case is not the assistant at all. The experiment was made on two groups of mice. Animals from the first group were daily given alcohol, and from another – no. Further influenced experimental the small jolt of electricity accompanied with characteristic sounds. Gradually impact on mice current was stopped and then before them just scrolled a sound. As it became clear, "mice nondrinkers" quickly forgot about the endured stress and were not afraid of a sound, however the second group of experimental faded at each playback of sound which they once heard together with electric discharge. Similar reaction was repeatedly noticed by experts and at patients who faced in life post-traumatic shock earlier. The people taking alcohol were not ready to overcome independently tormented their fear even in a safe situation. Being guided by it, scientists from the United States proved that there is no sense "to fill in a grief" as alcohol only aggravates a post-traumatic syndrome. At abuse of strong drinks the tragedy is not forgotten, and only again and again is repeatedly scrolled in the head.
