Introduction
The destructiveness of alcohol has been proven by multiple studies for the past decades. The damaging effect this substance has on people is immense, and sometimes the outcomes are fatal. Not only is it a devastating impact on one’s physical health, but also mental performance and cognitive skills. Having completed an educational workshop dedicated to the topic of alcohol consumption, I have received several vital insights.
Discussion
Alcohol is the most popular and affordable drug on the planet. The toxic effect is manifested by gross problems in the brain’s work. In particular, depending on the individual characteristics of the body and the dose of alcohol, people may experience increased aggressiveness, problems with orientation in space, memory lapses, sexual preoccupation, or depression. This fact made me realize that the majority of individuals consuming rubber-based drinks are not in control of themselves, and their cognition slows down due to drinking too much. As a consequence, even when sober, a person becomes unable to control and express their own emotions fully. Therefore, I realized that after a party night, everyone is hyped up as their neurons are still susceptible to alcohol.
Conclusion
Having listened to substance abuse and recovery services providers, I was petrified to find out that 99% of the population is affected by alcohol recovery at least once in a lifetime, while the total recovery comes only in a few weeks. The specialists demonstrated the cases of severe consumption and the outcomes it leads to. Since then, my attitude to alcohol has altered towards keeping sobriety. The only way to consume alcohol wisely is to reduce the dosage to one glass of wine and sip it slowly to savor the fruitiness of the drink.
