Health Effects of Drinking

Doctors are fairly well in unison when it comes to the impact of drinking on health. Like any form of enjoyment it has to be done in moderation. There has always been the debate on the good effects red wine have on blood with the suggestion that heart and coronary problems can be helped by having a glass of red wine each day.

That is probably true, but the serious drinker has to consider the long term effects and the bad side effects on the body. The most serious cases will result in the collapse of the kidneys, liver and all that leads to a fatal end. But for the average weekend drinker, is it a problem? Beer is certainly something which adds weight, and the guys who put away 10 pints of lager on a Saturday night are usually a bit on the heavy side. By the same token rugby players do this, and they can be as fit as fiddles.

Much depends on the metabolism and if the person can take a few drinks and still be healthy then there isn’t a problem. People differ and in some countries it’s easy to see that their metabolism just cannot cope with alcohol. They get drunk on the smallest amounts.

The bigger built Europeans, Americans etc. can manage a lot better and most of us drink regularly without any serious effects on our health.

Pregnant women were at one time encouraged to drink a bottle of stout every day and although it would never be allowed today there was once the advertising slogan

“ Guinness is good for you” !!

Alcohol can have some very severe health effects if you drink too much so you should only drink in moderation where possible. Elderly care homes are unlikely to allow much alcohol although they may allow some wine or perhaps a couple of beers with meals and on special occasions.

Most people know the Brits have a culture of binge drinking – almost to the point where they pass out and throw up all over the streets of the town centre. All athletes know that this type of drinking will ruin their chances of being best and many alcoholics will end up in rehab. Ending up in rehab means you may end up with home care services.
