Euphoria or destruction

Do not drink - you will become a kid, - they warned in fairy tales. To drink or not to drink - demagogues racked their brains.

But you yourself know what happens in a noisy company, and during a festive feast. A modest and quiet neighbor suddenly starts screaming, dragging after all the females. For some reason, the excellent athlete is already sleeping calmly in a bathtub with a basin at the head, and covered with a curtain. Someone went to the kitchen for cucumbers, and now sits in a lotus position at the stove and calls for help. After the N-th glass, a competition for survival begins: who will drink more and will not get drunk (of course, for some reason this thought did not come to a sober head). Two "champions" are carried forward with their feet on the balcony to cool off (one at the same time waving his arms and trying to say something). For some reason, Uncle Vasya fell asleep in the toilet. To get it out of there, they had to break down the door. Actually, you don't drink … You are sitting at the table, you are cheerful, you are happy, you are talented … Everyone around you says unusually funny things … Your cigarette goes out all the time. Sergei Petrovich has already gone to the nearest tent … in slippers, drowning in the snowdrifts. In order to walk ten meters, he needs to roll over his head several times, hit his shoulder hard against the fence and dislocate his leg. All the people we meet are looking at him very impudently. They are straightforward …

And you sit at home, you feel warm and good. You just lie down a little, and everything will pass … An idea, an idea, and why am I?

Eh, holidays, holidays … How much was eaten, how much was drunk … The number of drinks is striking not only in its volume, but also in its variety. And if at first you take alcohol as it is, then then you are drawn to experimenting with cocktails, with your own strength and health. And then a gloomy morning comes, a dizzying awakening, an attempt to restore the course of events … "So that I just once more …", "Never in my life …"

Many studies show that alcohol is euphoric and damaging to the brain and its neurochemical functions. At the same time, first of all, memory suffers, the ability to adequately assess the situation is lost, and movement in space is fraught with enormous difficulties. Of course, people tolerate alcohol in different ways, and a lot depends on the individual body's resistance, which in most cases decreases with age.
