KidsHealth Teens Alcohol Just about everyone knows that the legal drinking age throughout the United States is 21. But the average American has his or her first drink around age 14. According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, almost 80% of high school students have tried alcohol. Deciding whether to drink is a personal decision that we each eventually have to make. This article provides some information on alcohol, including how it affects your body, so you can make an educated choice. What Is Alcohol? Alcohol is created when grains, fruits, or vegetables are fermented . Fermentation is a process that uses yeast or bacteria to change the sugars in the food into alcohol. Fermentation is used to produce many necessary items - everything from cheese to medications. Alcohol has different forms and can be used as a cleaner, an antiseptic, or a sedative. So if alcohol is a natural product, why do teens need to be concerned about drinking it? When people drink alcohol, it's absorbed into their bloodstream. From there, it affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), which controls virtually all body functions. How Does It Affect the Body?

Newswatch Last Updated: Friday, 29 April, 2005, 12:19 GMT 13:19 UK E-mail this to a friend Printable version 'Alcohol makes your brain grow' Drinking alcohol boosts the growth of new nerve cells in the brain, research suggests. But while this might sound good in theory, the Swedish team believe these new cells could contribute to the development of alcohol dependence. Mice fed moderate quantities of alcohol grew extra brain cells, but also showed a preference for alcohol over water. The Karolinska Institute research appears in the International Journal of Neuropsychopharmacology. Brain growth Lead researcher Professor Stefan Brene said: "We believe that the increased production of new nerve cells during moderate alcohol consumption can be important for the development of alcohol addiction and other long-term effects of alcohol on the brain." Alternatively, the extra cells might help with learning and memory, he said. Another theory, according to the researchers, is that the tranquilising effect of alcohol triggers the growth. All of the new cells developed normally.

But for some, any alcohol use may lead to significant problems. According to some researchers, heavy alcohol use can actually increase hypertension. Some people will have a glass of wine with dinner when eating out and not suffer any difficulties, yet more than 16,000 fatalities occur each year in alcohol-related automobile accidents. Trying to figure out a personal balance of the risks associated with alcohol use is not easy, because alcohol affects everyone differently at different times.

Printer-friendly file Alcohol Throughout the 10,000 or so years that humans have been drinking fermented beverages, they've also been arguing about their merits and demerits. The debate still simmers today, with a lively back-and-forth over whether alcohol is good for you or bad for you. It's safe to say that alcohol is both a tonic and a poison. The difference lies mostly in the dose. Moderate drinking seems to be good for the heart and circulatory system, and probably protects against type 2 diabetes and gallstones. Heavy drinking is a major cause of preventable death in most countries. In the U.S., alcohol is implicated in about half of fatal traffic accidents.( ) Heavy drinking can damage the liver and heart, harm an unborn child, increase the chances of developing breast and some other cancers, contribute to depression and violence, and interfere with relationships. Alcohol's two-faced nature shouldn't come as a surprise. The active ingredient in alcoholic beverages, a simple molecule called ethanol, affects the body in many different ways. It directly influences the stomach, brain, heart, gallbladder, and liver. It affects levels of lipids (cholesterol and triglycerides) and insulin in the blood, as well as inflammation and coagulation. It also alters mood, concentration, and coordination. What's "Moderate"? What's "A Drink"?

More on health issues Blood Pressure and Saunas On Wed, 2 Oct 1996, I received this letter: I have a history of high blood pressure, and a friend told me that at her health club, the sauna carries a warning sign that those with high blood pressure or a heart condition should excercise caution. Is there some risk for me? I take medication, which keeps my pressure down. The heat in a sauna actually causes the capillaries in the skin to dilate, which in effect lowers blood pressure. In Finland, high blood pressure is something of a national problem, and yet most enjoy saunas at least occasionally. One could argue that the two are related, but our high blood pressure is due more to excess salt and alcohol than anything else. On the other hand, if you suffer from a low blood pressure, you should start taking saunas slowly, so you can judge its effects personally.

Because she has always spent hours outside, digging, weeding, and planting, she believes the heat and humidity of Midwestern summers doesn’t bother her. Then last year an unusual heat wave hit her area for a week. Every day the temperature was over 100° F, and the humidity was at least 90%. Irene’s house only has one large fan. It just wasn’t enough to fight the effect of the heat and humidity on her body. Five days into the heat wave, her daughter came over because Irene sounded confused on the phone. She found her mom passed out on the kitchen floor. The ambulance came quickly when called, but Irene almost died. She had heat stroke, the most serious form of hyperthermia. Almost every summer there is a deadly heat wave in some part of the country. Too much heat is not safe for anyone. It is even riskier if you are older or if you have health problems. It is important to get relief from the heat quickly. If not, you might begin to feel confused or faint. Your heart could become stressed, and sometimes this causes death. Your body is always working to keep a balance between how much heat it makes and how much it loses. Your brain is the thermostat. It sends and receives signals to and from parts of your body that affect temperature, such as the spinal cord, muscles, blood vessels, skin, and glands that make substances known as hormones.

Previous Health Notes Alcohol and Your Health Recent studies suggest that alcohol in moderation can reduce your risk of heart disease and high cholesterol. But before prescribing an extra cocktail for health, take a look at the pros and cons of alcohol consumption. Can You Benefit From Alcohol? A Finnish study showed that life expectancy was slightly higher for men who drank some alcoholic beverages every week than for men who didn't drink at all. This effect disappeared in men who drank more than seven drinks a week. What could this mean? A little alcohol may be good for your health, but more than a little is not good. And there are more effective ways to achieve the same benefits: Eat a varied diet that's rich in complex carbohydrates and low in saturated fat, salt and sugar. Exercise regularly. Manage the effects of stress. Avoid recreational drugs. What Are the Harmful Health Effects of Alcohol? Alcohol is a toxic substance. Abuse or even mild overuse over a period of time can cause: heart disease high blood pressure liver disease impotence nerve and brain damage sleep problems cancer damage to the stomach and kidneys In addition to these health problems, alcohol can cause behavior problems that can lead to loss of income, family and friends.
