Cause
Cause
Alcohol is a neurotropic substance that has an inhibitory effect on the central nervous system. After drinking, there is a feeling of relaxation, warmth, elimination of tension, lack of relief and relief of discomfort or pain. A large amount of alcohol can cause drunkenness and is a common acute alcoholism. Long-term heavy drinking can lead to degeneration of the cerebral cortex, cerebellum, pons and corpus callosum, damage to the liver, heart, endocrine glands, malnutrition, lack of enzymes and vitamins. All kinds of alcohol can be relied on, but spirits with high alcohol concentration are more addictive. The dependence on alcohol is slower. The formation of chronic alcoholism usually has a history of long-term drinking for more than 10 years. Alcohol and sedative hypnotics can be cross-tolerant, and some alcohol dependent people may be associated with hypnotic sedatives.
