Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

If untreated, these disorders can lead to permanent damage to your body. You can take many precautions to prevent these types of injuries. Take frequent breaks to exercise your hands.

Finally, minimize the number of times you switch between the mouse and the keyboard, and avoid using the heel of your hand as a pivot point while typing or using the mouse.Another type of health-related condition due to computer use is computer vision syndrome (CVS). You may have CVS if you have sore, tired, burning,itching, or dry eyes; <br />Headaches or sore neck; blurred or double vision; increased sensitivity to light; and difficulty focusing. CVS is not believed to have serious long-term consequences.<br />People who spend entire days using a computer sometimes complain of lower back pain and muscle fatigue. The pack pain sometimes is caused from poor posture. One way to help prevent these injuries is to be sure the workplace is designed ergonomically. Ergonomics is an applied science devoted to including comfort, efficiency, and safety in the design of the workplace. Studies have shown that using the correct configuration and type of chair, keyboard, display device, and work surface helps users work comfortably and efficiently and helps protect their health. For the computer area, experts recommend a workplace of at least two feet by four feet.<br />
