How to give up drinking beer

Beer alcoholism has its own characteristics in the causes of the occurrence, the pace of alcoholization, the effect on the body and the treatment.

What is beer and what is the meaning of the problem with its frequent use?

Beer is a common and quite popular drink among different segments of the population.Representatives of the older generation remember the famous beer barrels with beer spots, near which men's companies with dried ram, smoked bulls and lively discussions on various topics.Leisure is the simplest, most affordable and enjoyable after the end of the difficult day.In modern conditions, the range of beer drinks, forms of performance and containers has expanded significantly, and the contingent of the internal "beer club" has become more diverse and wide.Beer is now one of the most popular alcohol -containing drinks, not only in men of working age, but also among young people, women and even adolescents.The market has a huge supply of different varieties of beer from different manufacturers, different volumes and fortresses.There is a huge amount of hidden and obvious advertising on television and on the Internet.In the population, the image of Hollywood films is formed by the image of such an invincible cowboy or a fighter with badges, an indispensable attribute of which is the legs of the table and a jar of beer in his hand.Such a "brave" face becomes a role model during leisure.

Moreover, the beer in the category of the plebeian drink went into the niche of the so -called democratic, which anyone can drink - from a rich businessman to representatives of the garbage bounus.

By the way, many believe that drinking beer is even useful.Say in it there are many vitamins, minerals and other things.In some popular scientific articles, it equals the nutritional value of white bread.I personally like this analogy - everyone knows that Borsch is very rich in vitamins and nutrients, but no one will eat it sour or fermented.Beer is the same fermentation product, but only a must, consisting of malt (germinated barley), hops, yeast and water.It has a kind of aroma, a little bitterness of the taste and the foam well.

Usually classic beer is characterized by the content of only 3-5% of alcohol, which allows it to be attributed to drinks with low alcohol.There are stronger varieties (6-7%), but it is quite difficult to maintain a pleasant natural taste of beer with an increase in the fortress.

The process of fermentation itself, or as it was called brewing, is considered to be natural if only 4 of the components previously used.As a result, they get the so -called "alive", ecological beer.It is intended for use immediately after a spill and is not stored for a long time.In their production it is not allowed to use raw materials grown with the help of chemical fertilizers and protective agents, the processing of gray hops and malt, as well as spills in disposable containers (eg plastic).Without filtration, it is stored for 2-3 days, after filtration-7-10 at 2-4 degrees in the dark.Without shaking, the storage period can reach 2 months.

In the production of ordinary beer, all these restrictions are removed.There is also a so-called pasteurized beer, which is heated to 60-70 degrees in closed volume with subsequent quick or slow cooling to storage temperature (2-4 degrees).The shelf life is increased to 3-4 months.By the way, beer freezes not at zero degrees, but with -2.Then its taste is completely lost.

There is also a so -called canned beer, with which our buyer also has to deal with great regret.This was made possible after the 1987 European Tribunal decision, which allowed EEC countries to use such supplements as:

• Barley, millet, wheat and other vegetable raw materials unnoticed in malt.
• Phosphorus, sulfur, acetic and lactic acid, which irritate the gastric mucosa and can lead to the development of gastritis.
• Chlorides Fe, Zn and Ammonium.
• Up to 20% of altered sugar or glucose.
• Tannin, agar-agar, humiarabic and dyes to stabilize the vengeance capable of sensitizing the body.
• Foam optimizers in the form of sulfur dioxide and ascorbic acid.
• Enzymes to accelerate fermentation, which greatly increases the possibility of allergic reactions.
• Conservatives and stabilizers of the finished product (sulfur, ascorbik and benzoic acid, bentate, kizelgel, etc.).

How do you like such a chemical cocktail?Such a drink cannot be called beer.Therefore, it is called a beer surrogate, which brings a lot of harm, including in the form of severe somatamative disorders, accompanied by headaches, tachycardia, hyperhidrosis, weakness, etc. Friday and all a glass.Believe me, the habit will work very quickly, the number of glasses will increase and you will soon find yourself in the real dependence on alcohol.For some, it is enough to use beer regularly to become a keen beer alcohol regularly.

What is harmful to the regular use of beer and can this lead to the development of alcoholism?

As a slight alcoholic beverage, beer, nevertheless, has no less destructive effect on the human body than its stronger brothers.It can cause mental and physical dependence, reversible and irreversible changes in the functions and structures of different organs and systems.The only "plus" is that cases of acute beer alcohol poisoning are not recorded as one is simply not able to drink so much fluid for a short period of time.But you can still be poisoned with beer if you add alcohol, surrogate or methanol to it.But this is a completely different story.

So, the main points of the beer effect on the body:

• According to studies by world insurance companies, calculations have been made and conclusions have been made that beer alcoholism has provoked earlier death for 7-10 years in people with excessive weight, and also increases the possibility of obesity by 10% in men and 13% in women.
• The development of beer alcoholism has its own characteristics.It forms an unnoticed, deceptive, physical dependence appears at a later stage than with vodka.But at the same time, mental dependence develops very quickly.Due to the pleasant taste, the relaxing effect and the lack of a heavy hangover, to give up drinking beer psychologically.
• The presence of the so -called phytoestrogens acting as progesterone leads to a change in hormonal origin in men and women.This causes increased deposition of fat in the abdomen (the so -called "beer belly") in representatives of both sexes, as well as hirsutism in women (increased hair growth).By the way, the beer stomach is not only ugly but also dangerous to health.The fat deposits around the waist cause displacement of the organs of the abdominal, thoracic cavity and diaphragm, disrupting normal blood circulation in them and leading to cardiac attacks and ischemia, varicose veins in these organs.

In addition, such a phenomenon has long been known in medicine as a "heart of beer" when hypertrophy (wall thickening and enlargement of the cavities) is observed.As a result, tachycardia, arrhythmia, hypertension and other disorders of the cardiovascular system are performed.

Due to the excessive use of beer, even a "beer injury" by rupture of the bladder can develop due to its constant overflow and stretching of the walls.Since alcohol has a diuretic effect and in order to achieve the effect of a certain degree of intoxication, you need to drink a lot of beer, often exceeds the average volume of the bladder of 330-420 ml.Its walls extend, thin and can come as they just break.For comparison, I will give a few digits - when I use 1 liter of water, 385 ml urine is excreted and 1 liter of beer - 1012 ml, ie.The liquid is released more than drunk.This ultimately leads to dehydration with all subsequent consequences.

Continuous extraction from the body along with the urine, vitamin and minerals leads to a violation of the balance of water-electrolyte and the lack of some ions leads to various disorders of the autonomous and central nervous systems.For example, a deficiency of magnesium ions will manifest in increased irritability, sleep disorders and worsening mood.The disadvantage of vitamin C can lead to a decrease in immunity and intellectual abilities.

The destructive effect of beer on the highest nervous activity, although it happens gradually, is relentless to lead to weakening of intellectual, creativity, memory, adequacy of thinking and behavior, and ultimately to complete the degradation of the individual.

What are the main signs of beer alcoholism?

The most important sign of beer alcoholism is its daily use throughout the day and in large quantities.Some formations can drink up to 10 bottles a day.That is why beer alcoholics have no bing because they drink beer without intervals of sobriety.In addition, such symptoms may indicate beer alcoholism:

• Mood dependence on the ability to drink beer.Its deterioration with lethargy, apathy, unwillingness to do something in the absence of such an opportunity and a sharp improvement in the type of the coveted bottle.
• A permanent portion of morning beer for the vitality of the spirit instead of a normal breakfast.
• Reducing appetite.
• Changes in appearance - a large beer stomach, a puffy face, increased sweating, obesity.
• Hormonal imbalance - men have swollen mammary glands, fat deposition on cheeks, abdomen and hips, in women - excessive hairy (hirsutism).Read more about the signs of alcoholism in men in our other article.
• Cardiovascular disorders associated with heart muscle hypertrophy.
• Reducing the compensatory capabilities of the liver, kidneys and weakness of the bladder.
• Disorders of the gastrointestinal tract - dysfunction, flatulence, diarrhea or constipation.

For many people who consider the use of beer safe and even good for health, sooner or later comes the moment of awareness of their wrong attitude towards this alcoholic beverage.And then the question invariably arises how to stop drinking beer - independently or with the help of specialists.

Is it possible to refuse to drink beer yourself?

In order to answer this question, it is necessary to understand the causes of beer alcoholism, ie.To find out why one starts drinking beer.If with alcoholism that develops against the background of consuming strong alcohol, the reason is the most severe mental trauma or stress, then the alcoholism of beer is formed on the effect of idleness and pleasant fun in the company of friends or in the evening in front of the television screen.Beer acts as a way of free time, such as after work, picnic, pleasant gatherings with friends.It won't work to get drunk, but all the joys of life behind a glass of beer can be discussed in a relaxed atmosphere with friends or acquaintances.But at this point it does not even happen to anyone that it will be necessary to pay for this ugly physics, problems with intelligence, overweight and a bunch of concomitant diseases.

Often, when a person sees his reflection as in a crooked mirror and realizes what should be bonded with beer, ask the question of how to give up drinking beer yourself is too late.The psyche and the coming physical addiction is so strong that only very strong personalities can handle this task.But usually this question requires the help of a psychiatric psychologist, or at least consult with it.As the classics said, the most powerful chains are attachment chains.In this case, this is the habit of drinking beer every day.

Of course, I can give some general recommendations on how to give up drinking beer yourself, but it will be quite difficult to ensure success without support and treatment.

So general recommendations.

To get rid of the habit of drinking beer in the evening after work or to study, you will need to make some victims - to mark beer gatherings with friends, to change your aggregate regime.Simply put, forced to do something to limit the time of senselessness to the screen or laptop.Get a dog you need to walk in the morning and dinners, pay attention to the kids - help with lessons, play a board game, just joke with them, go to the playground. You can start collecting something or doing something withyour own hands.The main thing is to switch your thoughts and imagination while they are still.It will be difficult at first, but every day without beer the brain will be clear, health is restored and the mood to improve.Women's alcoholism is a pretty urgent problem because they get used to beer very quickly and most importantly are not afraid to drink it as they consider it a harmless alcoholic beverage.They begin to beat the alarm when the use of beer is already reflected in appearance (blue vascular veins and a puffy face, a huge stomach, etc.) and connections in the family, especially in children.It is very difficult to treat female alcoholism of beer.Honestly, the tips for maintaining the diary, taking into account the number of dose and leaving addiction to gradually reduce the dose and departure, is almost hopeless without specialized control.After all, a woman or girl does not know at what rate they should be reduced by the dose, how many day or week, etc.All of these problems are purely individual and can only be solved by a specialist after the examination, examination and laboratory examination of the patient.This is dictated by the fact that corrections to the treatment regimen can be detected through concomitant diseases, hormonal disorders and nervous system disorders.

Still, quite effective, although a barbaric way to eliminate the habit of drinking beer is a trivial fear.I know, for example, a patient who once and for all gets rid of beer addiction after the first time experienced an attack of arrhythmias who could not stop two ambulance teams for a long time.Believe me, the beer was finished immediately, finally irrevocably.Another patient gets rid of beer addiction after she started saying almost all friends at a meeting, "How are you old and changed. Are you seriously ill?"The reaction was also an ambulance and unambiguous - the beer was instantly excluded from the diet, and the patient took advantage of restoring his appearance.We can say that sometimes indivisible questions and comments can play a positive role.But it is better not to bring the issue in such extreme situations, but to seek professional medical care.In fact, in order to be successful, it is necessary to detoxify the body and then focus on individual and/or group psychotherapy.

As for the alcoholism of adolescents and youth beer, this problem is solved mainly by parents.Much depends on how durable contact and understanding between them and their children, whether trust and authority are lost.The main thing is to talk to the child and try to find words to persuade.If the child enters a teenage drinking company, do not try to persuade him to get him out of there - just break all the contacts and change the communication area.For example, find a section for Wushu or karate, other types of martial arts.Try to find an interesting and captivating alternative to beer companies.After all, only you know your child, his hobbies and desires.Let it drive a skate or bicycle, save stray dogs, pursue and develop programs.There must be a motto -as much idleness and street stagnation and as many targeted actions and interactivity as possible.Of course, while the parents are at work, a teenager after school is left to themselves, which is why it is so important at this point to take their free time in sections or circles, sports games or volunteer activities.The main thing is to know that your child is in the reliable hands of professional coaches, teachers and caring people.

If all your efforts were in vain, the next step would be a mandatory search for help from a Narcologist.Read more about the cost and reviews of coding from alcohol in our other article.And the earlier you do this, the better it will be for the teenager and his emerging psyche.Do not start the alcohol process of your growing child - not only it, but your future is placed on the map.
