Stress is a faithful companion of modern man. Nervous tension accompanies us at work, at home, in supermarkets and shops, on the roads and even on vacation. Alcohol is often used as a way to deal with stress.
Instructions
Step 1
To understand the reasons why people drink when stressed, you need to understand the concept of "stress" and the effect of alcohol on the human psyche. Stress is an emotional, mental and nervous tension that occurs in situations in which a person cannot freely satisfy his needs. As a result, the homeostasis of the whole organism is disrupted.
Step 2
Alcohol enhances the mechanisms of nerve inhibition in the brain. Psychologically, alcohol removes many barriers and frameworks that a person creates for himself. This framework exists in order to be a full-fledged cell of society and interact with other people. It is important to follow some generally accepted unspoken rules and not go beyond what is permissible. Otherwise, you can lose your place in the social structure - to lose your job, clients, friends and even your family.
Step 3
To distract myself and forget everything. When experiencing stress, a person may simply not cope with psychological stress. Then it seems to him that it is best to just get distracted and forget everything. Alcohol in excessive doses can erase memories from a person's memory, but not about the source of stress, but only the last couple of hours of being in an alcoholic intoxication.
Step 4
To relax and get relief. Alcohol affects the physiology of the body. It really makes the human body more relaxed, softer and more gut-perky. And social barriers and frameworks dissolve for the duration of alcohol exposure. And only for the duration of its action.
Step 5
To get the courage People who lack the courage to do something often look for it at the bottom of the glass. There is even a popular saying - "drink 100 g for courage." It is generally accepted that alcohol dulls the feeling of fear. But fear appears when a person crosses the border of what is permissible. And in a state of alcoholic intoxication, a person does not see these boundaries. He simply does not have fear.
Step 6
At worst and worst, people become addicted to alcohol. Then the person starts drinking because alcohol becomes a part of his life. A person gets used to "pour" all his problems with alcohol. The will of a person as a mechanism of the psyche is suppressed. He ceases to be aware of his own needs, replacing them with drunkenness.
Step 7
Of course, alcohol doesn't solve problems. The reasons why people drink are only illusory ways to resolve a stressful situation. But in the wrong way and in the wrong place. Not a single source of stress has yet disappeared from drinking. Whatever properties alcohol possesses and no matter how it affects the human body, none of the generally accepted "reasons" actually helps the cause.
