firestar: Hun... fancy that.

Centje, what about tea?

it depends on what you used in making the tea.

Drinking is not bad if you can moderate your urge to drink more. It's normal to take precautions against possible havoc drinking could cause to the body but some that never had a sip of alcohol all their lives die, and people that drink all through their lives live long. Crazy isn't it? It's just the way life is...so why not enjoy life when you only live once?

centje: it depends on what you used in making the tea.

It depends?

It varies:- Green, black, cocoa. coffee, fruit infusions, herbs etc.

I understand it's the alcohol that made you type like this. Abeg, continue drinking! Nothing do you! There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof is....

What do you mean we shouldn't drink b4 sleeping Be clearer in your headings, drinking includes water, fruit juices etc
All these your analysis is academic naturally when i have insomnia i take a bit of alcohol and i get quite a nice sleep

@OP..Thank u for enlightening us abt d dangers of alchohol intake. My problem is dat d waiters at my favourite bar take time in gracing my table with a recharged bottle of my brand after i empty d last bottle. It leaves me thirsty and dehydrated . I hope it doesn't lead to one of d things u enumerated.

plainmirror: Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I
drink I feel ashamed. Then I look into the glass
& think about the workers in the brewery and all
of their hopes & dreams. If I didn't drink this
beer, they might be out of work & their dreams
would be shattered. Then I say to myself, 'It is
better that I drink this beer & let their dreams
come true than to be selfish and worry about my
liver.

RIP Sanity!!

hmmm...

oh common give me a break kid! 90% of europeans drink alcohol yet life expectancy in most european countries is 75yrs and above. Africa consumes the least alcohol in the world yet life expectancy is least here. Sugur related deseases kill more people than alcohol. Just as too much anything is bad, i guess moderation is the key word here, remember alcohol is older than sugar. If i drink 2 bottles of star everyday and you drink 2 bottles of coke everyday who do you think stands the higher risk of a desease as a result of consumption of either drink. Coke is a combination of excess sugar and caffiene

i purposely didn't want to specify in my heading...it's a tricky way of arousing people's interest.

You can't say it's academic exercise, alot of people experience these effects. Medically, nothing is absolute,that's the reason for using 'may', 'can' etc.

There're other ways of handling insomnia. Desist from using alcohol,read the last part in the article properly. It may appear to work initially but its later effect is ugly.

na wa o!
If you read the post well,it was narrowed to side effects of alcohol when taken few hours before bedtime. And its impact on the quality of life not quantity. Moreover,there're other factors,actualy major factors, that determine life expectancy.

Aifey: People are bein deceived n wantin others 2think 4them when they hav their head. Everytin done is xx has a side effect. Sexx, alchol, coke, smirnof, relaxin, eatin etc. Just like everydrug even Vitamin syrup n blood or multivitamin capsules they all have some negativ effect.

And what are the negative side effects of xcess intake of multivitamin capsule?

centje: Let's have a lil' chat on one of the most consumed chemical on earth. Yes! It's alcohol. It comes in different forms but its effect remains the same. At first gulp of a green bottle it gives us EUPHORIA,then we go into EXCITEMENT as we empty the second bottle, then CONFUSION, STUPOR, COMA and with further intake the ultimate happens, DEATH! Those are the 6 stages of alcohol effect on our body.
For its euphoric effect most of us love this chemical...especially on those evening hang outs...hmmm . Have you really thought about it's other effect when taken less than 4 hours before bed
Read on then...let's start with...

* SNORING
Even if you're 'non-snorer', alcohol before bedtime can make you produce this nasty noise at night.
How does it do it? Well,alcohol reduces the resting tone of the muscles at the back of your throat and relaxes your tongue,which can fall back to obstruct your airway during sleep. As you try to force air through these tissues they vibrate and so produce the snore.
For snorers ,alcohol before bed worsens it.


* OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA
This is a disorder in which the upper airway narrows or closes during sleep. The resulting apnea (stoppage of breathing) awakens the person, who then resumes breathing and falls asleep again.
Alcohol before bed can further relax the muscles of the airway and worsen the narrowing. Consequently,the person is deprived of peaceful sleep at night.


* POOR S"EXUAL RESPONSE
Like i wrote earlier on,alcohol is both a nervous system depressant and a muscle relaxant.

In men,
alcohol before bed can lead to difficulty in getting and maintaining an e"rection. It's true that alcohol, in the euphoric or excitement stage, increases our s"exual urge but when it's time for real action,then the wahala comes!
And in long term,it can cause full-blown e"rectile dysfunction.
However, moderate intake,can help someone overcome poor e"rection or quick e"jaculation caused by anxiety. Though its not a good idea to build your s"ex life around alcohol...addiction and other side effect can result.

For women,
alcohol before bed can cause reduced lubrication,difficulty in achieving o"rgasm or o"rgasm that is less intense. And it's also much difficult to achieve pregnancy.


* POT BELLE AND OVERWEIGHT
As we become less active towards the night, our metabolic rate also lessens. Thus major quantity of the alcohol consumed during this period will likely be converted to fats. These fats get deposited within and around your internal organs,other body parts and also within your abdominal wall. This leaves you with pot belle, overweight and increased risk of heart,liver,kidney and intestinal diseases!


* SOAR THROAT AND INFECTION
Some people take alcohol to relief the pain of soar throat. unfortunately, this's temporal. And they're also ignorant of the fact the alcohol actualy causes and worsens soar throat.

Alcohol irritates and dries the tissues of throat. It also decreases the function of the immune cells within the throat tissuses, therefore raises your risk of getting throat infection and other infections of the oral cavity.


* NOCTURIA, NIGHT SWEAT, DEHYDRATION AND HANG OVER
It's normal to urinate 2 times or less in the night. One of the end product of alcohol metabolism is water,and with the diuretic effect of alcohol you will most likely urinate more often at night. Alcohol can also cause night sweat. All these can combine to cause dehydration.

Don't forget...hang over will say ' good morning' the next day.


* INSOMNIA
It may be suprising,but the truth is that alcohol before bed can cause insomnia.
An average adult needs about 7.5-8 hours of sleep in a day to stay healthy. For some reasons, some people can't get this quantity of sleep in a day. So some, especially insomniacs, resort to taking alcohol to induce sleep and probably make it last longer. Initially, this might appear to work but it's diverstating in the long run.
To undertand how alcohol cause insomnia let's learn some facts about sleep.

Two main states and 6 stages characterise a normal sleep...
# Non-rapid eye movement(NREM)sleep
aka quiet sleep: stage 1-4

# Rapid eye movement (REM) sleep
aka active sleep: stage 5-6, most dreams occur at this stage.

To have a good sleep you need to a balanced alternation between these two stages.

Alcohol consumed 1-3 hours before bedtime interfers with sleep hormones and disrupts the sleep cycle (REM sleep seems more affected,it shortens it). The person is awaken by dream,the urge to urinate,sweat,breathlessness,dehydration etc but he finds it difficult returning to sleep. And the sedate effect of the alcohol must have faded by then.
In addition,the person may develop tolerance to the sedative effect of the alcohol while the disruptive effect continues,hence insomnia continues!

3rd bottle of eva water
Could that be the reason for quoting the whole article

samm_miey: And what are the negative side effects of xcess intake of multivitamin capsule?

if you too many tablets of multivitamin containing elemental iron or it's equivalent, you can have a condition called haemochromatosis, or iron overload, which can cause liver failure in the long run. The guy is correct, virtually everything taken in excess has a negative effect. Basic pharmacology will first teach you that all drugs are poisons, when taken in excess, before it will teach you other things about drugs.

Something must kill a man.

You say you take only soda's dont worry at the long run when diabetis catches up with you earlier than you expect you will understand that it's a rich man's disease in that you'll have to buy insulin for nothing less than #1500x2 weekly den syringes of 400 for a pack of ten and take the shots two times daily.dont get the wrong most lager beer we consume contain sugar toø but you cant compare it with that of soda's.as someone said earlier no matter what it is toø much of anytin is bad.p.s more people today have diabetis that liver and kidney diseases.

Hmmm but it makes me sleep so well that I believe I should take it every night
