Immature drinking consequences
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.
