Alcohol or as it was called then "by al kegol" (in translation from Arab means "stupefying") was learned to be produced in 6-7 vv our era in the Arab countries. However the drinks containing ethanol are known to mankind from time immemorial. The nomadic people have in a certain way a skvashenny milk, usually horse (koumiss). At settled farmers the range of low alcohol drinks was much more impressive: it both wine, and various grain or fruit home brews, and drinks on the basis of honey. Besides, farmers in a diet always had a lot of vegetable food, and it decays in digestive tract with formation of small amounts of ethyl alcohol. It is possible therefore alcohol resistance of an organism at representatives of the different people significantly differs. So, for example, at descendants of nomadic hunters – representatives of Mongoloid race – ability of an organism it is rather safe to process alcohol, is much lower, than at Europeans whose ancestors lived fruits of country work.
Influence of alcohol on a human body
Perhaps, there will be a little adults who would not be influenced by effect of ethyl alcohol and also its not most pleasant consequences in science called a post-intoxication state, and in the people – a hangover. In toxicology it is accepted to divide influence of alcohol on an organism on 4 stages. Usually at the healthy adult at the use of ethanol are observed:
- Anxiolytic action – is observed at the use of small doses of ethyl alcohol (0.2-0.8 g on kilogram of weight of the person). Is followed by uneasiness reduction, euphoria, it becomes easier for person to communicate, at some individuals the coordination of movements improves, the attention becomes aggravated. About this stage it is when say that alcohol is capable to reduce stress. However, those at whom it is expressed especially brightly have more chances to become dependent on alcohol.
- Excitement – comes at concentration in blood of 0.5-1.5 g/ml of ethanol. It is reached because braking processes, i.e. processes of control of behavior slow down. During this stage and pulls on various adventures and feats (as heroic, and not really).
- Oppression – comes at concentration of ethanol to blood of bigger 1.5 g/ml.
If the individual, is not satisfied with what has already been achieved, then there can come the alcoholic coma, the serious condition dangerous by a lethal outcome.
This description of the general condition of the person who received different doses of ethyl alcohol. Let's consider what occurs in a human body, at consumption of alcohol by it.
Influence of alcohol on heart and vessels
Ethyl alcohol, especially in high concentrations, damages erythrocytes, reduces their ability to deliver oxygen to fabrics that provokes hypoxemic damages of heart and brain. Besides, alcohol is capable to damage walls of vessels that provokes development of atherosclerosis, and repeatedly increases risk of developing of heart attacks and strokes.
Influence of alcohol on pressure
Alcohol increases blood pressure, than is capable to cause hypertensive crisis, in the people having a hypertension.
Influence of alcohol on kidneys
Ethanol is capable to cause damages of kidneys since breaks blood supply of this body that in turn is followed by a lack of oxygen of tissues of a kidney and increase in intra kidney pressure. Usually it occurs against the background of damage of other bodies, first of all a liver.
Influence of alcohol on a prostate
At regular consumption of alcohol the synthesis of male sex hormones decreases. Besides, ethyl alcohol breaks blood circulation in bodies of a small pelvis and by that, can cause stagnant prostatitis. In turn negative impact of alcohol on an erection is connected with these factors.
