The document discusses the effects of alcohol on the body. It states that alcohol is a depressant drug that affects the brain and nervous system. In small amounts, alcohol can make people feel relaxed but it also slows reaction time. Larger amounts can seriously impact behavior, causing aggression and vomiting. Too much alcohol damages liver cells and can stop breathing by affecting signals to the lungs. Heavy drinkers are at risk of liver damage, brain damage, and deficiency diseases as alcohol prevents nutrient absorption. The liver can only break down about one unit of alcohol per hour.

15. Three patterns in writing use coo
Add commas when required.

16. When you connect two main clauses with a coordinating
conjunction, use a comma. The pattern looks like this:
USE +, + coordinating conjunction + MAI
Examples:
•In small amounts it makes people feel relaxed and
their reaction times.
•This is because alcohol affects the brain and stops

17. You can also use a coordinating conjunction to connect any
two items. These items can be any grammatical
unit except main clauses. The pattern looks like this:
ITEM + coordinating conjunction + ITEM.
.
Example
People can become loud and silly.

18. When you have three or more items in a series, you generally
use a comma before the coordinating conjunction. Some
handbooks and style guides will tell you that this comma is
optional, but my advice is to put it in. The pattern looks like
this:
ITEM +, + ITEM +, + coordinating conjunction + ITEM
.

25. How does alcohol affect the body ?
Drugs are substances that affect the way
the body works. Drugs that slow down how
quickly messages impulses are sent along
nerves are called depressants. Alcohol is a
depressant drug. In small amounts it makes
people feel relaxed and happy but it also slows
down their reaction times.

26. Large amounts of alcohol can have serious
effects on a person’s behavior. People can become
loud and silly, and even aggressive. This is because
alcohol affects the brain and stops nerve cells from
working. Too much alcohol can cause vomiting. In
very large amounts, it can cause death because it
stops the brain sending impulses to the lungs and so
breathing stops.

27. The liver breaks down about 1 ‘unit’ of alcohol
per hour. Heavy drinkers may suffer liver damage as
too much alcohol kills liver cells. They may also
suffer brain damage. Alcohol stops some in the body
and heavy drinkers can also suffer from deficiency
diseases.
