This document provides information about alcohol, its effects, and drinking statistics. It defines alcohol as a central nervous system depressant produced by fermenting sugars and starches. The effects of alcohol include impaired brain function, reduced inhibitions, and potential health risks that depend on how much and how often one drinks. Drinking statistics show that most adults have drank alcohol at some point in their lives, with over half drinking in the past month and about a quarter engaging in binge drinking.

02Nov15 - Drink Wise Age Well programme launchILC- UK
On the 2nd November 2015, ILC-UK held a panel discussion to launch the Drink Wise, Age Well programme.
The event brought together important stakeholders to discuss the growing problem of alcohol misuse in the over 50s population of the UK. Supported by the Big Lottery Fund, Drink Wise, Age Well brings together 6 strategic partners; Addaction, the Royal Voluntary Service, International Longevity Centre UK, Drugs and Alcohol Charities Wales, Addiction Northern Ireland and the University of Bedfordshire.
With at least 20% of over 50s in the UK exceeding recommended alcohol units, and alcohol related harms significantly increasing in this age group, Drink Wise, Age Well will aim to create a healthier relationship with alcohol for the overs 50s population through a preventative approach.
As part of our programme evaluation we have recently carried out a survey of drinking behaviour in people aged 50 and over which more than 17,000 people completed.
Joining our panel to discuss this important and growing issue were:
- Simon Antrobus, CEO, Addaction (Chair)
- Don Lavoie, Alcohol Programme Manager, Alcohol Team, Public Health England
- Dr Sarah Wadd, Director, Substance misuse and Ageing Research Team at the Tilda Goldberg Centre, University of Bedfordshire
- Professor José Iparraguirre, Chief Economist, Age UK
- Dr Kieran Moriarty, Consultant Physician and Gastroenterologist, Bolton NHS FT
Are you drinking TOO much?
Alcohol is the most commonly used potentially addictive substance in our society. Alcohol is responsible for over half of the $267 million dollars of substance related hospital costs in Canada. Problematic alcohol use significantly impacts individuals, families, and our community, but many struggle to know if they have a problem and where to go for help.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

2. “People drink to socialize, celebrate, and
relax. Alcohol often has a strong effect on
people – and throughout history, we’ve
struggled to understand and manage alcohol’s
power.”
– National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism
3. What is Alcohol?
• It is an intoxicating ingredient found in beer,
wine, and liquor
• It is produced by the fermentation of yeast,
sugars, and starches
• It is a central nervous system depressant
• It is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small
intestine into the bloodstream
4. What Happens When You Drink?
• Alcohol enters your bloodstream as soon as you take your
first sip
• Its immediate effects can appear within about 10 minutes
• As you drink, your blood alcohol concentration (BAC) levels
increase
– BAC- (the amount of alcohol present in your bloodstream)
• The higher your BAC, the more impaired you become by
alcohol’s effects
5. Effects of Alcohol
• Impairs brain function and motor skills
• Reduced inhibitions
• Slurred speech
• Motor impairment
• Confusion
• Memory problems
• Concentration problems
• Coma
• Breathing problems
• Death
• Can have serious negative effects on a fetus
6. Effects Depend on:
• How much you drink
• How often you drink
• Your age
• Your health status
• Your family history
7. Risks Associated With Drinking Alcohol
• Car crashes and other accidents
• Risky behavior
• Violent behavior
• Suicide and homicide
8. Standard Drinks
• 0.6 ounces of pure ethanol
• 12 ounces of beer
• 8 ounces of malt liquor
• 5 ounces of wine
• 1.5 ounces (a "shot”) of 80-proof distilled
spirits or liquor
9. Alcohol Addiction
• A diagnosable disease characterized by a
strong craving for alcohol, and/or continued
use despite harm or personal injury
• A pattern of drinking that results in harm to
one's health, interpersonal relationships, or
ability to work
10. Prevalence of Drinking
• 87.6% of people ages 18 or older reported that they
drank alcohol at some point in their lifetime
• 71% reported that they drank in the past year
• 56.3% reported that they drank in the past month
11. Prevalence of Binge/Heavy Drinking
• 24.6% of people ages 18 or older reported that they
engaged in binge drinking in the past month
• 7.1% reported that they engaged in heavy drinking in
the past month
12. People with an Alcohol Use Disorder
• 17 million adults ages 18 and older
– 11.2 million men
– 5.7 million women
• 855,000 adolescents ages 12–17
– 411,000 men
– 444,000 women
13. Alcohol Related Deaths
• 88,000 people die annually
• 10,322 alcohol-impaired-driving fatalities
occurred in 2012
14. Fetal Alcohol Exposure
• Occurs when a woman drinks while pregnant
• Can cause brain damage leading to a range of
developmental, cognitive, and behavioral problems
• No amount of alcohol is safe for pregnant women to drink
• Alcohol can disrupt fetal development at any stage during
a pregnancy – including at the earliest stages and before a
woman knows she is pregnant
15. Personal Opinion
• I would agree on all the information I found. I don’t think drinking
is bad, as long as it is in a safe amount and not all the time
• I think we should educate people more on safe limits
• I have strong feelings towards drinking while pregnant. Women
should not do this as they will harm the baby and that’s not fair to
the unborn child.
16. Relevance to Practice
If you drink over the “safe limits” often, it will
increase your risk of developing an addiction. In
the class we are talking about addictions and
how they can be harmful to you and those
around you.
17. Discussion Question
1. Do you think most people drink with the
intentions to get drunk?
1. Many college age students drink. If they
don’t, would you consider them “uncool?”
