Children's alcoholism

The thief of reason - this is how they have spoken about alcohol since ancient times!!!

Alcoholism develops gradually against the background of a fairly long-term abuse of alcoholic beverages, is always accompanied by a variety of social consequences that are unfavorable both for the patient and for society.

Causes of Childhood Alcoholism

The reasons for introducing children to alcohol are varied, but basically the first acquaintance with alcohol in children is usually accidental, but recently with the growth of families where both parents drink, the number of cases when parents begin to accustom the child to alcohol has increased catastrophically.
In families of moderate drinkers, parents show the child an example with their behavior and, as a rule, boys try alcohol for the first time out of curiosity.
At an older age, it is no longer convenient for a child to refuse the company of peers or teenagers, and such reasons as “it was awkward to lag behind the kids,” “friends persuaded me,” “for courage” appear.
But more often, it is the parents who show the child by their example or can even pour a small glass in honor of the birthday. In this way, the psychological barrier is removed and the child comes to the conclusion that it will be possible to drink alcohol with the guys.

Alcohol and children

A healthy child has no craving for alcohol , on the contrary, all children will say that alcohol is a tasteless nasty thing, but seeing how parents drink beer or wine with pleasure, they conclude that this is actually something interesting. Curiosity pushes children to drink alcohol.

The Effect of Alcohol on Children's Organisms

When alcohol enters a child's body, it quickly spreads throughout the body and quickly concentrates in the brain. It should be noted that the concentration of alcohol in the brain is much higher than in the blood.
Even small doses of alcohol in children cause a violent reaction and severe symptoms of poisoning. If children begin to regularly consume alcohol (3-4 times a month), then their organs begin to suffer very quickly. The liver cannot cope with alcohol and begins to degenerate. All organs of the child suffer from the influence of alcohol - this is the nervous system, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, eyes, heart, thyroid gland, pancreas, etc.
As a result, children addicted to alcohol may develop diabetes, and in adolescence, problems with sexual function.
The influence of alcohol on the child's body is especially dangerous because the child's body is highly sensitive to toxic substances (alcohol). Intoxication in children develops so quickly that doctors often do not have time to save the child. Doctors state that cases of alcohol poisoning in children are not so rare.

A case of alcohol influence on the child's body:

A 9-year-old boy was fishing with adults. During lunch, he was given 1/3 of a glass of vodka, which he drank in two doses to the approving exclamations of adults. After the fish soup was eaten and the vodka was drunk, the adults went back to the river, and the boy stayed by the fire. He soon lost consciousness and was taken to the nearest hospital in this state. He had suppressed vital functions: cardiac activity, respiration, metabolism. Without regaining consciousness, the child died 2 hours later!

What should parents of a child know about alcohol?

Scientists conducted an experiment on the effects of alcohol , but few people know about it.
The mice were introduced to alcohol (wine) from childhood, starting with small doses that were mixed with water. Gradually it got to the point that the mice refused to drink water without wine, they turned their faces away from pure water and preferred water with wine. Gradually it got to the point that when they decided to wean the slightly older mice off wine by stopping giving them alcohol, they behaved like real alcoholics, namely, they rushed around the cage and fought among themselves, greedily peeked out from behind thecage, nervously moving their noses in anticipation of alcohol. Some mice after a period of excitement would sprawl across the cage, like a drunkard with a hangover.
Scientists have noticed that under the influence of alcohol, mice develop sexual dysfunctions, and alcohol also affects sperm, in which more and more incapacitated spermatozoa appear. Underdevelopment of the genitals was also noted even with minor alcohol consumption.

It would be naive to believe that alcohol affects the body differently in humans.
