THE HARMS AND BENEFITS OF ALCOHOL

[glen_mark_ledesma]

People generally are quite well acquainted with what benefits are attributed to alcohol, for instance enjoyment of temporary happiness, strength increase of a short time, colour becomes clearer, initially (as to some medical claim).

Compared to the few limited benefits of alcohol its risks and harms are so varied that, perhaps so many disadvantages may not be present in any other thing.

1. Through alcohol, the stomach gradually loses its ability to function properly.
2. Causes loss of appetite.
3. It spoils ones facial features (Appearance)
4. Makes one age quicker.
5. Weakens and reduces the ability to think and speak properly.
6. Causes heart failure
7. The progeny of alcohol are weaker.
8. Creates fights and enmity between people
9. Leads towards grave sins, often adultery and murder are the direct results of drinking.
10. Thousands of pounds are wasted in this vice

In your own point of view list down things of advantages of drinking alcohol versus its disadvantages or you can decide from which you are in favor : " Advantage or disadvantage?"

I am a nurse and eventually, I became acquainted to people who are called "alcoholics and has been addicted to alcoholism". From their viewpoints and from the lessons I have learned here are the advantages and disadvantages of alcohol:

Advantages:
1. Light to moderate drinking of alcohol can reduce the risk of acquiring coronary heart disease (CHD) and other causes of mortality.
2. It can improve mood and increases relaxation and aids sleep.
3. Source of energy in the diet.

Disadvantages:
1. It maybe the source of energy and doesn't not contain any other nutrients.
2. It is toxic to the liver and other organs in the body if intake is increased or in high concentration.
3. It can cause uncoordinated movements, tremors, poor judgment and concentration.
4. During intoxication, it can cause accidents and aggression.

Alcohol is not that bad when taken in moderation. If you drink one glass of wine a day, the heart deseases (like already mentioned). And like everything when it's too much, it won't be good for your health

Yes there are benefits of alcohol, but the harms outweighs it. For instance, alcohol has been the leading cause of liver problems.

I'm not saying we shouldn't drink even a drop of alcohol. What I'm saying is let's drink in moderation.

Everything that will be taken in moderation is healthy. One doctor advised an aunt that it is not really good if a person will not have alcohol in his/her body. And alcohol relaxes the body. But, as I have mentioned, it should only be taken moderately.
