Question by : Are more and more young or not so young females falling victim to addiction?
It seems to me to be the general trend in modern society.
Some facts for your consideration.
More young female smoke tobacco than young males in Britain.
Though more young males drink, young females have a lower toleration of alcohol and thus risk long term side effects from drinking in excess.
Young females catch STDS more easily.
Young females are catching up on young males with a thing called porn addiction. Like all addictions it can take over the sufferers life and stop them relating to the world properly.
Diabetes and other complications from being obese is a growing problem in the female population as their bodies don’t tolerate excess as well as the male body.
Young women of today are expected NOT to outlive the generation before them simply because of the excesses they are encouraged to indulge in.
Food for thought?
I accept that but being from Britain these young women in the future and now even are going to be a hell of a strain on the NHS.

There are a lot of people who are either suffering from drug or alcohol addiction. And the number of such people keeps on increasing with every passing day. So people who are looking for any way through which such habits can be curbed then getting admitted to a rehab centre would be the best solution. It is very difficult for an alcoholic to get rid of this habit all by themselves and therefore the need of getting help from an alcohol rehab arises. Alcohol rehabilitation is the first step that an alcoholic should take when he feels that he is in dire need of help. At times the alcoholic himself does not realize the fact that he needs help, in such situations his family members should take a step forward and introduce him to an alcohol rehabilitation centre, so that his treatment can start on time.
If the severity possessed by an alcoholic is quite less, then he can get treated in an alcohol rehab as an outpatient. But if his condition is quite severe then he needs to stay in the alcohol rehab till the moment he does not get well. Depending on a person’s rate of progress, the stay at the alcohol rehabilitation centre can stretch from days to one year. Generally drug rehab is chosen for a person who has undergone tremendous amount of physical as well as psychological damage.

Question by Skeptic: Doesn’t it seem odd that Jesus would turn water into wine?
What about the people who didn’t drink wine?
What about the people who had alcohol problems? Addiction, intolerance, etc.
What about the fact that wine kills brain cells?
It seems odd the man-God would turn water (completely healthy, beneficial, workhorse of the human body) into wine (harmful, whatever “benefits” very short lived, etc.)

There are several factors that determine a person’s susceptibility to drug and alcohol addiction. Among these factors is age. Studies have shown that teens in drug and alcohol rehab tend to experience stronger mental and physical withdrawal symptoms. Scientists believe this is a product of the fact that teens’ brains are still developing, leaving them particularly at risk to the short-term effects of drug and alcohol abuse.
Along with impacting how people recover from alcohol addiction, age also plays a role in why people become addicted in the first place. While there are certain factors that are common among all alcoholics (such as a likelihood of having parents who were addicts), there are also other factors that are common in younger alcoholics versus those who become addicted to alcohol and need treatment in a rehab center later in life.

Question by Itstartshere27: Do drug dealers, politicians and law enforcement profit from the “War on Drugs”?
I mean, I understand it’s the politicians fault for not revamping the system and ignoring what the people want. Look up any statistical poll and majority of Americans believe the Drug War is a complete failure. I blame money hungry politicians and people who are high up in the law enforcement community for keeping the status quo when are system needs to be revamped. How did the government ever get involved with trying to moderate human behavior and trying to enforce morality on people? I mean, you can’t tell me locking up massive amounts of people have helped our country deal with a drug problem. Also, don’t give me that same old rhetoric “well drugs destroys lives”…Well so do guns, cigarettes and alcohol. In fact, my closest family member has an extreme alcohol addiction and the last thing I would want is for her to be locked up for her addiction…and yet we continue to lock up people for choosing a different vice. Fact is, prohibiting anything never works, it just creates more violence, more addicts and more profits…Doesn’t that mean the politicians, law enforcement and drug dealers are all on the same side in the end since they are the only ones who profit from the “War on Drugs”? I think it’s pretty sickening if you ask me.

Alcohol is used as a celebratory gesture in just about every culture across the globe. It’s used for New Years, Christmas, birthdays, weddings, graduations, bar mitzvahs, and to commemorate just about any special occasion. In America, it’s almost like an earned rite of passage, where the elders hand the younger partygoers a sip…ah…and then it’s love at first sip.
It’s no wonder alcoholism runs in families. Few people actually wait until the legal drinking age of 21 to drink. Sometimes, adolescents take up drinking so early on, that by the time they’ve reached actual drinking age, they’ve become full-blown alcoholics.

Are you addicted to drinking alcohol? Are you addicted to drugs? If your answer to any of these questions is a yes then dont hesitate to seek for professional help. Currently you will find that alcoholism is rampant even in Christian religion. According to the scriptures you should not be drinking too much because there it is referred to as a sin. Bible tells us that a Christian is saved through the death of Lord Jesus Christ. Now, many of you will be having questions in mind about whether or not a Christian alcohol addiction or a Christian alcohol addicted person would also be saved or not? For this you will be required to understand the process of rebirth. If you are being saved then it is referred to as a rebirth process. Your lifestyle will be changing from darkness to light. Now, you need to answer the question that whether an alcoholic person walks in dark or in the light? Now, you know the answer to this question yourself and you can solve your inner queries as well. You should never drink wine as it will be leading to debauchery. Every alcoholic person is controlled by drink and is regarded as enslaved.
People would be thinking that it is only the sin of Christians but this is not the fact. It really does not matter to which religion or caste you belong. You should always remember that drinking is always regarded as a sin. An alcoholic person will abuse, control other people at home and try to manipulate them. You should never trust an alcoholic person. If you trust alcoholic people then you are literally impairing your emotional and mental thought patterns. An alcoholic person will try and make you weak from inside. In fact, if you go through the research studies then you will see that this problem is very big especially for married women. You will find a number of married women complaining about their husband having Christian alcohol addiction and they want to solve this problem anyhow.

Question by John Lawton: In re: “High alcohol tolerance= high drug tolerance,” are you willing to die listening to incomplete advice?
First, you must realize that in this alcohol-phillic society, we jeopardize our health and that of others by not telling the truth about alcohol as a drug. Alcohol, viewed as a drug, is in the general class of drugs known as sedatives, which includes all the barbiturates, including, but not limited to sodium thiopental (commonly, “sodium pentothal”) which is a very commonly used general anesthetic! People who are addicted to either “class” of drug, whether it be alcohol or barbiturates/sedatives, will exhibit both cross-tolerance and cross-addiction to any drug from the other class. When this first became well-known as a result of the study of alcoholics (many of whom also had problems with barbiturates) in the ‘60s and ‘70s, medical science came up with a new term to describe the illness, “alcoholism/sedative-ism” as so many of the factors of one “addiction” were common to the other, including, but not limited to the alcohol/sedative cross-tolerance and cross-addiction.
Second, you must realize that you are risking your life on the advice of people who may not know what they are talking about. For example, justOkay with his BIOS360. If you listen to this kind of advice, YOU MAY DIE!!!

There are many people in this world who are killed or kill because of alcohol. Teenagers and young adults tend to accept crazy bets to impress their friends that they can do some other thing even in an inebriated form. Most people who are alcohol addicts meet their demise through some or the other activity that is influenced by alcohol. We know about alcohol related illnesses like liver cirrhosis being responsible for deaths.Some people who drink large amount of alcohol just pass out and fall into deep sleep before the brain can signal the stomach to puke it out. All of this has to stop, considering that the addict is destroying their lives and livelihood by drinking alcohol. If the person goes into a nauseous state, he or she can choke on their own vomit and die in their sleep. In fact, the sad thing is that people do not have idea of how much is more and they do not have an inkling of when their interest turns into addiction. Florida rehab alcohol treatment center offers help to the addict once they are admitted into the program.Fortunately, after release, the addict will either go into an aftercare program or get on with their lives and go back to work. Just about everyone likes the way recovery makes them feel different or great. An alcohol treatment center is representative of the problems that occur in the community so if there are more rehab centers in one community over the next, it may mean that there is more alcoholic problem in that area.
There are so many instances of people turning into murderous villains, drinking and driving, killing people under the wheels of their cars or smashing the skull of someone after drinking high booze in pubs or street side alcohol shops. Vomiting is something that some people end up doing after alcohol. Of course, most of them are not lucky enough to end up in a Florida rehab center instead of ending up losing their lives.So before anything severe happens, family members need to take matters into their hand and get the addict into an alcohol treatment center and seek help. With treatment, the addict will become a sober person and improve their lives for a better outcome. Alcohol makes people do strange things, do activities that they would never have even though of doing, had they been sane. Alcohol, being a psychoactive drug, affects the mind, the mood, and other intellectual processes. We are already familiar with alcohol related diseases like liver cirrhosis, liver inflammation, stroke, heart disease, breast cancer, oral cancer etc that can be life-threatening due to alcohol addiction.The negative effect of alcohol shows how important it is for the alcoholic to get or seek help before it is too late. A Florida rehab program is highly likely to help to bring the person back to a normal way of life instead of always in a drunken stupor. Families will be mended after the person is fully recovered.
