Alcohol ppt
Alcohol affects many parts of the body. It initially causes an energizing effect but is actually a depressant that slows the central nervous system. As more alcohol is consumed, it impairs judgment, motor skills, and can lead to intoxication or even loss of consciousness. The liver works to break down alcohol but drinking too much overwhelms this system. Long term heavy use can damage the liver and brain. Fetal alcohol syndrome may also result if a pregnant woman drinks.
Is Alcoholism Hereditary?
While genetics may increase one's risk of alcoholism, it is not the sole factor. The development of alcoholism can be influenced by a combination of genetic, environmental, social, and psychological factors. Studies have found a genetic component but have not identified a single gene that causes alcoholism. Having genes linked to alcoholism does not determine if one will become an alcoholic. It just increases susceptibility depending on other risk influences in one's life.
