Beer Alcoholism: Signs And Dangers

As a result of the rapid increase in the consumption of beer in our country, we are increasingly hearing about such a problem as beer alcoholism, although in medicine such a term does not exist. Physicians allocate such disease, as an alcoholism. It has certain phases of development and signs. But when alcoholism develops as a result of excessive beer entrainment, the disease proceeds with some peculiarities. For example, beer alcoholism develops 3 times faster than the one that develops as a result of drinking strong alcohol. The effect of beer on the organism is also somewhat different. From his action, first of all, the heart suffers. Physicians have even such a term: "beer heart". The "beer heart" widens cavities, thickens the walls, develops necrosis of the heart muscle. All these changes occur under the influence of cobalt, which is contained in large quantities in beer. Its content in this drink exceeds ten times the permissible norm!

Beer alcoholism has another feature, which is the disruption of the endocrine system. So, under the influence of beer in men, the production of testosterone - a male hormone - decreases. This will not slow the effect on the appearance of a man whose shoulders and abdomen are rounded, and the mammary glands are enlarged. In the results, the figure loses its masculine features and acquires the roundness characteristic of women.

Negatively affects beer and on the brain, killing its cells, on the liver and pancreas. But at the heart of beer alcoholism, as well as of ordinary alcoholism, is psychological and chemical dependence. Therefore, at the heart of the treatment of alcoholism will not be very different, although some measures will be needed to restore damaged organs and systems. In the treatment of alcoholism, both psychotherapeutic assistance and medication will be required.
