Immature drinking consequences

June 15, 2017

Immature drinking consequences are much more painful and should be corrected timely

Immature drinking consequences: Drug dependence

Many young people are eager to find out what is good about alcohol consumption and doctor Dalal Akoury MD having been in this discipline for over two decades is responding categorically that there is nothing good about alcohol let alone the age bracket of usage. In fact, it doesn’t matter what it is that leads adolescents to begin drinking, because once they start they face a number of potential health and safety risks. Immature drinking consequences are common with young people who are more likely to be sexually active and to have unsafe, unprotected sex; they are more likely to be involved in fights, commit violent crimes, fail at school, use other drugs, and experience verbal, physical, or sexual violence. And those who start drinking before age 15 are five times more likely to develop alcoholism later in life than those who begin drinking at age 21. That statement must not be understood to mean that people should start drinking at 21, NO there is nothing beneficial in alcohol.

Immature drinking consequences: Preventing underage drinking

Underage drinking is a complex problem, requiring cooperation at all levels of society. Three basic approaches have proven to be effective in the prevention of the problem:

Curtailing the availability of alcohol;
Consistent enforcement of existing laws and regulations; and
Changing norms and behaviors through education.

Binge drinking

Binge drinking is a pattern of alcohol consumption that brings the blood alcohol concentration (BAC) level to 0.08% or more in a short period of time. This pattern of drinking alcohol usually in less than 2 hours corresponds to: 5 or more drinks for men or 4 or more drinks for women. And without running away from facts it is plain and simple, it is high-risk drinking, flee from it now.

Immature drinking consequences: Alcoholism signs and symptoms

Alcoholism involves all the symptoms of alcohol abuse but also involves another element: physical dependence – tolerance and withdrawal. Take a look:

Tolerance – this means that, over time, you will need more alcohol to feel the same effect. Ask yourself if you’re drinking more than you used to? Do you drink more than other people without showing obvious signs of intoxication?

Withdrawal – As the effect of the alcohol wears off you may experience withdrawal symptoms including anxiety or jumpiness; shakiness or trembling sweating, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, depression, irritability, fatigue or loss of appetite and headaches. Do you drink to steady the nerves, stop the shakes in the morning? Drinking to relieve or avoid withdrawal symptoms is a sign of alcoholism and addiction.

In severe cases, withdrawal from alcohol can be life-threatening and involve hallucinations, confusion, seizures, fever, and agitation. Doctor Akoury reiterates that these symptoms can be dangerous and should be managed by a physician specifically trained and experienced in dealing with alcoholism and addiction and that is one of the many reasons why doctor Akoury founder this facility (AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center) where you can walk in any time any day and all your addiction concerns will be addressed professionally and in full confidentiality.

Withdrawal symptoms hindrances: Cocaine addiction

In the meantime, it is important to appreciate that the problem of withdrawal symptoms of cocaine are emotional and never physical as many may think. If this has been your way of thought, then it must be registered to you that there are no physical withdrawal symptoms from cocaine addiction, and that is why people sometimes trick themselves into thinking they aren’t addicted to it (cocaine). I’m not physically addicted to cocaine are common sentiment many people use, but the truth of the matter is that there is no physical addiction and non-physical addiction to the substance, all we have is a just addiction which occurs all in the brain. Nonetheless, doctor Akoury is of the opinion that even though there are no physical withdrawal symptoms, it is important to appreciate that cocaine being a stimulant is still satisfying all the criteria for addiction. Because of its nature of addictiveness, many people have difficulty controlling how much they use and because of that they literally continuing to use it even though it has negative consequences to their life and that of their loved ones. According to the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the able leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury, there are several emotional withdrawal symptoms of cocaine and the following are just but a few:

Tiredness
Depression
Anxiety
Moodiness

Doctor Akoury is registering that many at times withdrawal do occur because an individual’s brain works like a spring when it comes to addiction. In other words, drugs and alcohol are brain depressants that push down the spring. That is to say that they suppress your brain’s production of neurotransmitters like noradrenaline. What that communicates is that when you stop using drugs or alcohol it’s like taking the weight off the spring, and your brain rebounds by producing a surge of adrenaline that causes withdrawal symptoms. And that explains why withdrawal symptoms are one of the greatest challenges when it comes to drug addiction recovery.

Underage alcoholism frequency

June 15, 2017

Underage alcoholism frequency is worrying and timely action needs to be taken to prevent the dangers ahead

Underage alcoholism frequency: Signs and symptoms of alcoholism and drug dependence

The underage alcoholism frequency and college drinking are currently being magnified and promoted by the easy access to alcohol and drugs. Alcohol is the most abused drug among youth globally with the United States leading in youthful addiction. Currently, available statistics indicates that more tobacco and illicit drugs are being used by youths below the age of 21. It is also frustrating to note that of all the alcohol consumed in the US up to 11% of that substance is consumed by people aged between12 to 20. That is not something to take for granted because early use of alcohol can draw young people into a host of problems and aggravate existing ones says doctor Dalal Akoury a veteran addiction expert of over two decades. According to the experts from AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center a facility established by doctor Akoury to primarily deal with all matters relating to addition, each year approximately 5000 young people under the age of 21 dies as a result of underage drinking. This includes about 1,900 deaths from motor vehicle crashes, 1,600 as a result of homicides, 300 from suicide, and hundreds from other injuries such as falls, burns, and drowning.

Besides that, it is estimated that up to 600,000 college students are accidentally injured while under the influence of alcohol with another 700,000 students being assaulted by other students who have been drinking and as if that is not enough about 100,000 more students are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape that is according to statistics available from NCADD Fact Sheet which are also in agreement with the above statistics. When we talk of the high prevalence of underage alcoholism prevalence, it is not a small matter to be wished away because as a matter of fact there is evidence that over 11,000 teens in the US are becoming first users of alcohol daily by trying to use the drink for the first time and that translate into more than four million drink alcohol in any given month. As you ponder about that, let’s find out why young people often resort to drinking alcohol.

Underage alcoholism frequency problem: Why do young people drink alcohol?

The reasons why young people take alcohol are not different from that of adults. Some of those reasons may seem obvious, however understanding the feelings and motivations behind them as well as how each teen’s life comes into play can be difficult. The following are some of the reasons why young people resort into drinking alcohol:

Some young people often drink to check out from family problems or issues with school performance
It could be motivated by loneliness, low self–esteem, depression, anxiety disorder and other mental health issues lead many young people to drink alcohol
Young people turn to alcohol to deal with the pressures of everyday social situations
Young people may drink to change their image or to fit in when moving to a new school or town
Young people may drink to gain confidence or lose inhibitions

One clear point is that it may not matter the reasons why young people engages into this habit. Irrespective of the reason, the consequences remain the same. That is why seeking help from the experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center immediately is very necessary.

Various organizations including the sectors mentioned herein have put in measures that curbs down on the effects of alcoholism and drug addiction at workplaces say doctor Dalal Akoury. As we continue into the discussion, it is very important that before we bring this section to its conclusion, we need to appreciate that this habit hurts the most in two specific ways. The two specific kinds of drinking behavior that significantly contribute to the level of work-performance problems include:

Drinking right before the commencement of working hours or during working hours and that includes drinking during break times like at lunch and at company functions.
The second way is drinking heavily the night before the resumption of work the following day. This is commonly characterized by hangovers and even feelings of dizziness during working hours the next day.
