"The child was in a state of chronic alcoholism," the doctor explains. - In childhood, the enzymatic system is well developed, alcohol from the body goes slower. The fact that two glasses of wine are no longer perceived as a dose needed to intoxicate, speaks of the coming tolerance. Initially, a person needs a little to feel the relaxation, the desire to communicate. Then there is a growth of tolerance when the body requires an increase in the dose to test the same condition.

Nightmare Larisa Guzeev

Dancing on the table, kisses with transvestites of passion - already legend. In Odessa, at the celebration of the Day of the city, Milyavskaya went on stage in the nightgown and, loyering her legs, performed the rock composition. In ecstasy, the singer saddled the tripod.
"Alcohol removes psychological barriers," explains our expert. - In the first stage, the loss of situational control occurs when a person allows himself to get drunk at important events. If the second stage begins on the problem, the second stage begins: physical dependence, when alcohol molecules are embedded in metabolic processes. There are rips with a heavy hangover. Anxiety, trembling in the body, a feeling of lack of air, a feeling of fear - his symptoms. Further - irreversible processes and identity degradation. Do not let God bring yourself to such a state.

Forcibly do not cure
If someone from the loved ones became tightly made friends with a glass, perceive it as a patient. No need to regret nor scold - both whether. Do not impose help - violent treatment is ineffective, but gently push the alcoholic to the idea that he has a problem with alcohol: he must want to get rid of her. Let me understand that you are ready to support if you are asked about it.

Stress, if so:
1. Two or more wine glasses you drink every day.
2. You feel that intoxication comes later, and increase the dose.
3. You know the condition of a heavy hangover.
4. Among close relatives there are strongly drinking people.
5. You have problems with metabolism, vessels.

If you have noted more than two signs - be alert: you are in the risk zone!
