Drinking affects women more than it affects men
#4
Fantastic post , many thanks Charon . Can anyone imagine an advertisement like Vics 7.5 -500 mg as mommy's last resort ? Alcohol in all forms is the legit drug society accepts , social drinking is welcomed even if most of people know that alcohol can produce addiction and dependence and can lead to a severe withdrawal syndrome with 5% mortality due to delirium tremens.
Scott Fitzerald said : first you take a drink, then the drinks takes a drink, and then the drink takes you . Women are more sensitive to alcohol side effects. Lived damage is more common in women and there is less amount of alcohol needed to do greater damage than men. Research indicates that metabolism of alcohol in women liver is faster leading to higher blood levels but also to greater liver cell damage due to higher levels of acetaldehyde and higher level of oxidative stress and cytokines produced. And the aftermath of excess drinking is heavy , with brain and liver disease and breast and head and neck cancer increase between female population. It is the same target by companies the stressed women either work stressed or family depressed. Barbiturates and benzos strike hard on women with psychological problems during the last decades and now alcohol industry and federal government promote drinking behavior instead of discourage it among young females. Even moderate drinking of 20 ml day/year can increase lived complications by 49 % among females. 88.000 deaths due to alcohol related disease plus 8000 deadly car accidents attributed to alcohol only in USA were the NIH facts for 2014 that makes me wonder why LE chase pain pills and threatens doctors who still try to Rx pain medicines instead of shutting down liqueur stores or arresting bar owners . Why nobody threatens alcohol industry is a good question when they threaten anyone who Rx pain meds to those who suffer from severe pain and again the public is satisfied because Mr Low is doing it's job so we can drink a bottle of alcohol at home without anyone disturbing our unhealthy daily habit. Mr Low will never care about 25 year old girl binge drinking or that 90 % of drink under 19 yeals old males and females is in binge drinking form that results in most car accidents. But he will lawsuit a doctor prescribing Vics to a 80 year old patient with severe hip pain. Hypocrisy is a virtue of our western society I suppose we must approve that women must be sedated with alcohol or tranquilizers to cope with all these burden of work and family responsibilities. Until we have more and more female victims lets pretend we do not mind at all and be in the society correct line or instead we can try to change our inner self and be aware to this epidemic of legit drugs like alcohol and nicotine. We should keep defending our right to get immediate treatment when in pain instead of empty some bottles of wine and packs of cigarettes . And I think we must discourage our children from excess drinking especially if we have young girls in family protecting them from this alcohol industry attack.
