4 Paths to Death from Alcohol Abuse

1. Lung infection:

According to Medical Daily, there is a link between alcohol consumption and the amount of nitrous oxide - a natural gas that helps fight infections in the lungs. People who drink too much alcohol when tested have lower levels of this gas than normal. When this gas is reduced, the lungs are more susceptible to bacteria, so the risk of lung infection is very difficult to avoid.

2. Poisoning:

Alcohol poisoning comes from two types, one is ethanol (food alcohol), the other is methanol using industrial alcohol. Notably, the number of patients with methanol poisoning tends to increase, the mortality rate and sequelae are very high (blindness, brain damage).

Most of the cases hospitalized due to alcohol poisoning are in critical condition, comatose, with cardiac arrest, no chance of survival, or if saved, will leave severe neurological sequelae.

In fact, according to doctors, not only patients are poisoned by industrial alcohol but also patients are poisoned and hospitalized due to alcohol abuse. Many people drink alcohol but do not eat, causing hypoglycemia. If hypoglycemia is severe, it can cause brain damage due to lack of energy.

Identify plants that can be deadly when soaked in alcohol

(Baonghean.vn) - In traditional medicine, au tau tubers, poppy, bear bile... have very good medicinal effects when having professional knowledge and using the right dosage and method. However, if people do not know clearly the effects of each type, they absolutely should not use them to soak in wine to drink because they can contain toxins, which can lead to death.

3. Causing traffic accidents:

Alcohol abuse not only causes obvious and visible direct consequences such as alcohol poisoning and death due to alcohol, but also a rather terrible consequence is the situation of drinking alcohol and then participating in traffic and causing accidents. Not only threatening your own life but also causing harm to other people participating in traffic at that time.

4. Intentionally causing injury, even murder:

Drinking too much alcohol can cause psychosis. According to medical experts, alcoholic psychosis has many different manifestations such as emotional disorders, behavioral disorders (beating wife, scolding children, destroying things...), perceptual disorders such as frequent hallucinations, visual hallucinations, emotional hallucinations; thinking disorders such as paranoid jealousy or imagining imminent harm.

That is also the cause not only of fights that disrupt security and order but also of heartbreaking murders.

At around 10 p.m. on September 16, 2017, on Nguyen Phong Sac Street (Vinh City, Nghe An), two accidents occurred, in which a driver, after a collision, pulled out a knife to chase and stab people. According to information from witnesses, the driver of the Dewoo car with license plate 20A 094.98 showed signs of being drunk. After causing the accident, he did not reconcile but pulled out a knife and chased and stabbed the taxi driver, causing him to flee the scene. He then continued to stab a passenger in the taxi, injuring him, and stabbed a citizen when they intervened. Illustrative photo

Due to lack of knowledge, many people think that drinking alcohol is for fun, but clearly the consequences that alcohol causes have become a burden for families and society. Not only causing psychosis, alcohol also affects and causes difficult-to-treat diseases such as cirrhosis, stomach, fatty blood, gastric ulcers, duodenal ulcers, pancreatitis, high blood pressure, diabetes, blood poisoning...

To protect their health, doctors recommend that people should limit alcohol consumption, immediately give up the habit of drinking too much alcohol, and not drink alcohol of unknown origin.
