Towards a Right View on the
Effects of Alcohol Ingestion
Petre Feodorian BOTNARIUC
EDUCATION AND PSYCHOLOGY CHALLENGES - TEACHERS FOR THE
KNOWLEDGE SOCIETY – 2ND EDITION – EPC-TKS 2013
25 Oct. Sinaia
Basic logic challenged?
• 3rd principle of excluded middle
To be or not to be?
• Included middle? -> serious implications
• Back to basics - 1st principle of identity
• Aristotle defended by modern science
Article Idea
• Pro-Generation views and arguments:
Why not!, Be alive!, Feel in the middle of the action!, Do
not be an abstinent! Culturally acceptable!
• Most unconceivable acts of stable persons (i.e.
Malina Olinescu’s suicide) – Is alcohol the cause?
• Why such effects? Dictionary: ethanol induces
altered states of consciousness.
• J. J. Rousseau’s birth tricentenary
Misuse of terminology
• Alcohol use/ abuse/ consumption/ ingestion
• Use – how useful?
• Psyhotrops:
intoxicants vs. stimulants
• Impact of scientific substances classification
on social policy
Alcohol Means Business
• persons driving intoxicated are a persistent major
public health risk worldwide
• estim. 3.8% of all global deaths and 4.6% of global
disability-adjusted life-years
• only in SUA in one year 17000 fatalities/250000
injuries
• Simulated driving revealed significant findings on
brain activation and behavioral alterations
• Blood alcohol levels
– within legal limits produce significant, generalized
impairments of multiple attentional abilities;
– larger doses produce major impairments
Potential long-term effects of ethanol
Long-term Effects of Alcohol
Disability-adjusted life year rates from Alcohol use disorders
50-1250 per 100,000 inhabitants
Levels of Damage (health, drug
dependency, economic costs and crime)
..
• ‘alcohol (despite being legal more often than
the other drugs) is by far the most harmful;
not only is it the most damaging to societies, it
is also the fourth most dangerous for the user.
Most of the drugs were rated significantly less
harmful than alcohol’ David Nutt, Leslie King
and Lawrence Phillips
Humanistic vs. antihumanistic values
• Ex. Pregnant women shocked by the medic advice
not to drink at all, not even one glass as usual.
• Why one glass only in the evening? Morning why
not? No dampers changing over night.
• Theratogenic effects vs. culturally ‘acceptable’.
• Most countries recommend total abstinence
whilst pregnant or breastfeeding.
The Drunkard’s Progress - 1846
Conclusion
• ‘Ok’ saying: I choose to drink!
• Self-deceiving saying:
It is not harmful for me!
It is not harmful for others!
