You need to know the enemy by sight! And know as much as possible about him. If you think that you are starting to drink too much, think about why this is happening. Most often, people find excuses and excuses. Away from self-consolation, it is better to face the truth - and stop in time.
Instructions
Step 1
Do not get carried away with drinking when you are tired, overexerted, etc.
Many say alcohol relieves stress and improves mood. But, in most cases, this is not done correctly. Only small doses (40 ml of wine or martini or 20-30 ml of vodka or brandy) help to truly relax. The rest can be harmful: either even more fatigue will fall on, or the state "will improve too much" - to the point of euphoria, which, when you return from heaven to earth, can lead to depression. Do you need it?
Step 2
Don't drink to increase your work capacity.
Some are sure: if you drank it, you think better. But the fact that such perception is subjective has already been proven by scientists. He was convinced that in drunk people the speed of mental and motor reactions sometimes increases, only these reactions themselves are often incorrect. That is, the work is done faster, but with errors!
Step 3
Don't comfort yourself with the fact that alcohol warms and even treats colds.
When cooled, you will be saved by about 50 grams of vodka or brandy. They dilate blood vessels and normalize blood flow in the body. Subsequent doses of alcohol are harmful: the body begins to "cool down" again. As for ailments … Alcohol definitely does not strengthen the immune system - this time. Degrees negatively affect a sore throat - that's two. Although a little mulled wine will really benefit the sick person.
Step 4
Do not drink alcohol "to improve your appetite."
Alcohol really stimulates the appetite, but at the same time it will behave aggressively towards the mucous membrane of an empty stomach. The production of hydrochloric acid will increase, which can cause gastritis. The price is too high …
Step 5
Do not try to relieve pressure with strong drinks.
Alcohol dilates blood vessels. Only at the same time, drinks with degrees increase the heart rate, so it turns out "an exchange of an awl for soap."
Step 6
Keep in mind that beer is also alcohol.
Beer, which many can safely drink in liters, is not harmless! There are degrees in it, it is addictive - beer alcoholism, imperceptible at first. Beer is not soda and can be bad for the liver, kidneys, and heart.
Step 7
Be aware that even quality alcohol is not safe.
Any alcoholic beverages have a toxic effect on the body, because one of the decay products of ethyl alcohol is acetaldehyde.
