The Unseen Effects of Alcohol on Your Body Te Awamutu Online Home Page Local Info Community What's On Business Resources Search Source: ALAC Your Body Can Take Less Than You Think Most of us enjoy a drink. And there's no reason why we shouldn't, as long as we drink within sensible limits. However, most people have no idea what the limit is. And unfortunately, what the body can handle is a lot less than most of us imagine. That's mainly because the effects can remain invisible until later on in life - and it's then that the troubles can start. We all know about liver problems. But the brain's short and long-term memory, the heart, the stomach and sexual performance, can be damaged. Some cancers, dementia, bone and muscle degeneration are also associated with drinking more than the body can handle. So, How Much Do You Drink? Before you can see whether or not the amount of alcohol you could drink could be affecting your health, you first have to work out how much you drink. This is measured in what are known as Standard Drinks. The Standard Drinks for wine, beer and spirits are shown in the table here.

43. Alcohol Beverages & Your Health alcohol Beverages your health The Potential health Benefits of ModerateDrinking. Media attention has focused recently on scientific http://www.waabi.org/health.htm

The Potential Health Benefits of Moderate Drinking Media attention has focused recently on scientific studies reporting that beverage alcohol may potentially play a role in reducing the risk of coronary heart disease. While the scientific literature generally reports that this potential benefit is caused by the ethanol (alcohol) in all beverage alcohol products (distilled spirits, wine and beer), the media have in some cases incorrectly reported that this potential benefit is only associated with consumption of wine. Any full discussion of the reported benefits associated with beverage alcohol consumption should make clear that such benefits are attributed to moderate consumption of distilled spirits, wine or beer. References to a number of scientific articles reporting on moderate consumption of beverage alcohol are set forth below to provide you with an idea of the scientific literature which is available on this subject. We did not author these articles and do not express any opinion on their scientific content, because it is not the role of America’s distillers to dispense medical advice to the public. Nor do we recommend that consumers drink beverage alcohol for health reasons. Further, it is commonly know that alcohol abuse can cause serious problems, and there is a body of literature regarding the reported risks of beverage alcohol consumption generally. Many of the studies cited below discuss both the benefits and risks of alcohol consumption. KEY FINDINGS:

More on health issues Blood Pressure and Saunas On Wed, 2 Oct 1996, I received this letter: I have a history of high blood pressure, and a friend told me that at her health club, the sauna carries a warning sign that those with high blood pressure or a heart condition should excercise caution. Is there some risk for me? I take medication, which keeps my pressure down. The heat in a sauna actually causes the capillaries in the skin to dilate, which in effect lowers blood pressure. In Finland, high blood pressure is something of a national problem, and yet most enjoy saunas at least occasionally. One could argue that the two are related, but our high blood pressure is due more to excess salt and alcohol than anything else. On the other hand, if you suffer from a low blood pressure, you should start taking saunas slowly, so you can judge its effects personally.

MEDIA RELEASE Alcohol Taxation Good For Your Health Thursday 23 March 2000 A new report launched today reveals that a slight increase in alcohol taxation could have a dramatic impact on the more than 3000 deaths and 72,000 hospitalisations seen as a result of high-risk drinking in Australia each year. The report of the first four years of the Northern Territory's Living With Alcohol program found that a tax increase of only 5 cents on a standard drink containing more than 3% alcohol contributed to an average reduction in consumption of around 22% per person. In the first four years, a total of $18 million of the levy raised paid for a broad range of new prevention and treatment programs in the Territory. As a result, 129 lives were saved and 2,100 alcohol-related hospital admissions were prevented, with an associated cost saving in the region of $124 million. The impact of the alcohol levy was to raise the price of regular strength beer relative to low strength beer, and to significantly increase the price of cask wine. Both regular strength beer and cask wine - drinks that are normally taxed least - have been closely associated with higher levels of violence, injury and illness. Low strength beer - normally taxed at a higher rate than regular strength beer - has been associated with less harm. Report co-author and Director of the National Drug Research Institute, Professor Tim Stockwell, said that the findings had serious implications for public health in Australia, and should be given high priority in current national debate about alcohol taxation, in the light of the move to a GST.

EDITOR'S NOTE CHEERS to your health Alcohol and the first amendment Image by Malcolm Garris/PhotoDisc March 4, 1999 For at least seven years, researchers have known that moderate alcohol consumption cuts the risk of coronary heart disease. When compared with nondrinkers, those who have an average of one or two drinks a day of beer, spirits, or wine live longer and have significantly fewer heart attacks. The physiology is thought to be somewhat simple: Alcohol helps generate high-density lipoproteins (good cholesterol) and clot-dissolving enzymes. Even the federal Dietary Guidelines for Americans now specifically state the coronary benefits of moderate drinking. But folks at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms argued against allowing a simple statement about the benefits to appear on alcohol labels because they felt a paragraph presenting the pros would be misleading and any label with a full list of pros and cons would be too long. They worried that too positive a label might lead to inappropriate drinking. Yet, lobbied hard, the Bureau recently approved labels for wine—but not for any other alcohol—that advise consumers to consult their physician or the federal Dietary Guidelines to learn more about the health effects of moderate consumption. The new label isn’t exactly in plain English.

Advertising Free Credit Report Free Psychics Advertisement Most people appreciate wine for its delicious and complex taste. There are countless different types of wine, each pairing mouthwateringly well with certain combinations of food. This immense variety means, if you had enough money, you could live a lifetime without drinking the same wine twice. But how does wine affect your health? As the Washington Post reported, a label approved by the BATF gives some indication that wine can be a healthful drink. According to them on Feb 6, 1999, 'One label, approved yesterday by federal regulators, makes this suggestion: "The proud people who made this wine encourage you to consult your family doctor about the health effects of wine consumption."' How does one drink wine healthfully? First off, wine, like any other item ingested, should be taken in moderation. Just like eating 8 pounds of chocolate a day is unhealthy, and 15 bags of potato chips for lunch will give bad results, so would drinking 8 bottles of wine a day. Wine, like anything else overdone, can harm your body in large quantities. The key is moderation.

The 2000 National Household Survey on Drug Abuse was released Thursday by the U.S. Health and Human Services Department. About 6 percent of those over 12 years old or 14 million Americans were illegal drug users last year. An annual survey shows last year's findings were not significantly different from 1999 in overall drug use or in use of any of the major illegal drugs. The rate of alcohol use among youths aged 12 to 20 and the general population has remained relatively flat for the past several years. Almost half of Americans 46.6 percent aged 12 and older reported being current drinkers of alcohol in the 2000 survey. This translates to about 104 million people. Both the rate of alcohol use and number of drinkers were nearly the same in 2000 as in 1999. However, there was some good news.

You may have read that drinking red wine and other alcoholic beverages may decrease your risk of heart disease. So, should you drink it? Since there are many unanswered questions regarding alcohol's potential benefits, whether a glass of red wine now and then could have positive effects on your health is less important than better understanding what we do know about alcohol's effects an important step in approaching any drinking occasion responsibly. Alcohol is a fermented carbohydrate, made from both sugars and starches and provides seven calories per gram (with few if any other nutrients). Alcohol isn't absorbed like other nutrients in the digestive tract it moves directly through the stomach lining and is in the bloodstream in just 20 minutes. This quick absorption affects our ability to concentrate, reduces response time, and can lead to drowsiness, slurred speech, blurred vision and dizziness. How alcohol affects you depends on many factors, including how much you consume, the rate at which you consume and your body weight. Only you and your physician can decide if alcohol should be part of your lifestyle. Once you do, here are some time-worn tips to follow:
