We've heard about the potential health benefits of red wine, but two recent studies in the Journal of the American Medical Association suggest that a light-to-moderate intake of any kind of alcoholic beverage may be beneficial. In one analysis, more than 2200 Connecticut-based men and women over age 65 provided information as to how much alcohol they had consumed within the previous month. About half were non-drinkers. The alcohol drinkers were divided into light drinkers who usually consumed up to 1 to 1.5 drinks per day, and moderate drinkers, who consumed up to an average 1.5 to 4 drinks per day. (Heavier drinkers were excluded.) Researchers then kept track of the participants over the next 14 years, noting who in the group suffered from heart failure during that time. After taking into account factors that can affect heart healthage, gender, and a medical history of diabetes or high blood pressureresearchers found that both light and moderate drinkers were less likely than non-drinkers to suffer from heart failure.

'Your Health' Home 'Your Health' Topics About This Site Dictionary ... Links YOUR HEALTH: Health care professionals in the drug abuse field assert that parents can, and often do, influence the future alcohol and drug habits of their pre-teenage children. Educating your growing children about alcohol and drug use , and the problems alcohol and drug ab use can cause, helps them to develop healthy attitudes towards alcohol and drugs to make healthy decisions later in life. Many parents intend to discuss alcohol and drug use with their children, but are not sure when to begin or what to say. The best time to start the dialogue differs from one child to the next, but the most sensible rule of thumb is to begin when children first ask questions about alcohol and drugs. Keep in mind that children begin learning about alcohol and drugs very early - from television, movies and the example of those around them. You may want to begin by asking them some questions to find out what they already know or what they have heard. If children, by the age of 9 or 10, do not seek answers about alcohol and drugs from you, then it is time to ask them what they may have learned elsewhere. The first step in educating your children is to educate yourself. Up-to-date, factual information about all aspects of alcohol and drug use is available to Alberta residents from the Alberta Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission (AADAC).

For some people with Crohn's disease, alcohol consumption can complicate an already difficult situation. While there is no evidence that drinking alcohol increases your risk of developing Crohn's disease, there is still some concern that drinking and people who have a chronic disease do not mix well. How does drinking alcohol affect the gastrointestinal tract? When alcohol is consumed, most of it is metabolized in the gastrointestinal tract lining and the liver. There is evidence that alcohol has an irritating effect on the lining of the gastrointestinal tract, which can result in exacerbating symptoms that people with Crohn's disease may already be experiencing, such as: Nausea Vomiting Diarrhea Gastrointestinal bleeding Since drinking alcohol can also have an effect on the body's ability to digest foods, this can affect people with Crohn's disease who may already have problems with malabsorption. Alcohol consumption can also interrupt your sleep patterns and cause insomnia, which can affect your sense of well-being as well as your physical health.

Health Home Early History Public Nuisances Contagious Disease ... Epilogue The Coordinating Office for Drug and Alcohol Abuse Programs Originally started as the Division of Addictive Diseases within the Office of Mental Health in 1966, the Coordinating Office for Drug and Alcohol Abuse Programs (CODAAP) was established within the Mayor's Office in 1972 and was made a separate office within the Philadelphia Department of Public Health in 1979. Conceived as a planning unit for needed services, CODAAP's responsibilities include channeling the energies of Philadelphia drug and alcohol prevention and treatment programs into an integrated and coordinated system.  By monitoring the changes and trends in substance abuse in the city, CODAAP coordinates and evaluates substance abuse prevention and rehabilitation programs to meet changing needs. CODAAP coordinates its efforts with other systems such as Community Behavioral Health (CBH), Medicare and managed health care systems. CODAAP currently provides help to over 17,000 Philadelphians annually through its contract services with over 90 agencies for a variety of programs including education, prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.  Recently, the Department of Public Health created two new residential programs through CODAAP and CBH for individuals dually diagnosed with mental illnesses and substance addictions. Seven new recovery houses were created for individuals enrolled in substance abuse treatment who require the supports of a safe and secure living arrangement to stay in treatment.

The newest wrinkle in the New England Journal of Medicine says that among men, drinking alcohol 3 or 4 days per week decreases the risk of heart attack. The one difference in this study is that they looked at all type of alcohol, not just red wine, and found the protection. But there is an editorial connected with the study that brings up the crucial question if we know that alcohol fights heart disease and decreases the death rate from heart attacks, why don’t we recommend alcohol to everyone? Here’s he point even though alcohol protects against heart attack, the death rate from all diseases is roughly the same as in non-drinkers. In other words, alcohol protects the heart but it damages other organs like the liver and it increase the risk for M.V.A. More Your Health Stories: Meet Dr. Brian McDonough, M.D.

Alcohol: Your Child and Drugs Children are challenged at younger ages than ever before to try drugs. Tobacco. Marijuana. Cocaine. However, the drug most often overlooked is the one most commonly abused-alcohol. Alcohol is a legal drug for adults and it is found in many homes. As a result, it often is the first drug that most young people try. They are encountering drugs at increasingly younger ages. One out of 3 fourth graders believe that drinking is a "big problem" in their age group. About 1 out of 7 fourth graders already have consumed alcohol to the point of intoxication. Four out of 10 sixth graders say there is pressure from other students to drink alcohol. Three million children aged 14 to 17 are problem drinkers. Most young people admit that the main reason they drink is to get "high." This explains why they often drink until they are drunk and out of control. A recent survey showed that 41 percent of high school seniors engage in this kind of binge drinking at least once every 2 weeks. Teenagers, like some adults, drink to escape problems, such as depression or family conflict. Others use alcohol as a way to fit in with their peer groups or to reduce their social uneasiness. Peer group pressure is one of the major reasons for adolescent drinking. Alcohol is a so-called "Gateway drug" through which children first experience intoxication. After "getting high" this way, studies show that they may be more likely to try other drugs while drinking. Multiple drug use is dangerous. Mixing alcohol with another drug, such as marijuana, may distort the senses and cause motor-coordination problems. The effects of marijuana can linger in the system for days.

Light alcohol use may protect against sudden cardiac death In the largest study of its kind, researchers have found that consuming two to six alcoholic drinks per week was associated with a reduced risk of sudden cardiac death in men, according to a report in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association "This is the largest study to look at alcohol consumption and sudden cardiac death in men and the first to find a reduction in sudden cardiac death from light drinking," says Christine M. Albert, M.D., associate physician in the division of preventive medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital and instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School in Boston. Albert is also a cardiac electrophysiologist at Massachusetts General Hospital. Researchers looked at 21,537 men involved in the Physicians Health Study, a long-term study of male physicians and risk factors for heart disease. All of them were free of cardiovascular disease and provided information on their consumption of beer, wine or liquor. During 12 years of follow up, there were 141 cases of sudden cardiac death. The risk of sudden cardiac death was reduced by 60 percent in men who drank two to four drinks per week, and 79 percent in men who consumed five to six drinks a week, less than one drink per day on average. About half of all deaths from coronary heart disease are sudden and unexpected. Sudden cardiac death usually occurs when the heart begins beating too rapidly or chaotically to pump blood efficiently. It claims the lives of about 250,000 Americans each year.

By R. Curtis Ellison, M.D. Epidemiologists, scientists who study the causes of diseases and ways of preventing them, have known for many years that moderate amounts of alcohol seem to be protective against coronary heart disease. But this message was quite a shock to the American public in November 1991, when Morley Safer of the television news show 60 Minutes told viewers about the French Paradox: the fact that the French have low rates of coronary heart disease despite a high-fat diet and other risk factors, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. He attributed it to their regular consumption of red wineto "this inviting glass!" Is it true? Does wine consumption contribute to a healthier heart? For years, we have been seeing very large differences from country to country in the reported rates of deaths from coronary heart disease. The regions that currently have the highest rates are Scotland, Northern Ireland, Finland and eastern Europe. The nation with the lowest ratewith only one-fifth the number of deaths from heart disease as northern Europeis Japan, a result primarily of the very low amounts of fat in the traditional Japanese diet. And we have always explained the low rates of heart disease in Italy, Spain and Greece by pointing to a similar aspect of their culturewhat is known as the Mediterranean diet.

Men's Health - Lifestyle Alcohol by Dr Rob Hicks Recommended safe limits Could you be dependent on alcohol? Contacts Most men enjoy a drink or too. Having a drink is sociable, enjoyable and, in many societies, part of the culture. Alcohol is relaxing and eases the inhibitions. A moderate amount of alcohol may actually help protect the heart and circulation. However, one in four men drink too much alcohol, and do this too often. If you regularly go over the top with your drinking then you'll end up damaging your body, and every part of your body is a possible target. Drinking too much alcohol is also often responsible for accidents, poor work performance, relationship problems, and crime. Whatever else you do with alcohol - never drink and drive Recommended safe limits The current recommended safe intake of alcohol for men is no more than 3-4 units a day. One unit is: Half a pint of ordinary strength beer or lager.

Nutrition - Drinks Alcohol by Alyson Greenhalgh What is alcohol? Alcohol - the benefits and the risks Recommendations for alcohol intake ... The nutritive value of alcohol What is alcohol? Alcohol has been made for thousands of years - it's a compound of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, produced when glucose is fermented by yeast. During the making of alcoholic drinks, the alcohol content is controlled by the amount of yeast and the duration of fermentation. Fruits are used to make wines and ciders, and cereals such as barley and rye form the basis of beers and spirits. These substances provide the flavour associated with each individual drink. Alcohol is a drug with the immediate effect of altering mood. Because drinking makes people feel relaxed, happy and even euphoric, many might find it surprising to learn that alcohol is in fact a depressant. As such, it switches off the part of the brain that controls judgement, leading to loss of inhibitions. As most people are aware alcohol also affects physical co-ordination. The more alcohol consumed the greater the effect - speech becomes slurred, vision blurred, balance is lost and movements are clumsy. Apart from cases of extreme intoxication, these effects are short-term. It is the liver that breaks down and eliminates alcohol from the body, and it takes about an hour to deal with one unit.

Alcohol is classified as a depressant because it slows down the central nervous system, causing a decrease in motor coordination, reaction time and intellectual performance. At high doses, the respiratory system slows down drastically and can cause a coma or death. It is particularly dangerous to mix alcohol with other depressants, such as GHB, Rohypnol, Ketamine, tranquilizers or sleeping pills. Combining depressants multiplies the effects of both drugs and can lead to memory loss, coma or death. How does alcohol move through the body?
