Too much alchohol is bad. Too much of it prevents one from gaining weight so it isn't a myth.

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.



Sadly, I found this amusing. . . What is happening to me . . .

Since drinking is such a popular pastime, it makes
sense that there are a lot of legends, assumptions
and myths about alcohol out there. What's true and
What isn't? Surprisingly, even things that might feel
or seem true from experience are actually just
myths.

Myth: Drugs are a bigger problem than alcohol.

FACT: Although alcohol use is legal and more socially acceptable, it is still classified as a drug. Alcohol has claimed the lives of more young people than cocaine, heroin, and every other illegal drug combined. About 18 million Americans are addicted to alcohol or have alcohol abuse issues. Furthermore, alcohol is the No. 1 drug problem of today's youth.

Myth: A combination of beer, wine and liquor will
make you more drunk than only drinking one
type of alcohol.


FACT: Alcohol is alcohol. Your blood alcohol content
(BAC - the percent of alcohol in your blood) is what
determines how drunk you are. Not the flavors you
selected.

Myth: A cold shower, cup of coffee, sleep, or
making yourself throw up will sober you up.


FACT: Only time will get you sober. In general, it
takes about one hour for your body to eliminate one
average drink. A cold shower will not sober you up
and might cause you to go into shock if you are very
drunk. Coffee contains a stimulant drug (caffeine)
and will make you feel awake, but it will not remove
the alcohol from your body. If you has a lot to drink
before you go to sleep, you could still have alcohol in your body when you wake up and be over the legal driving limit the next morning. And finally, self-
induced vomiting might get rid of some of the alcohol that has not yet been absorbed by your body, but most of it will already be in your bloodstream and causing yourself to be sick can be dangerous.

Myth: Someone who has had too much to drink
will look drunk


FACT: The way someone looks can be misleading.
One drink can impair one's judgement and ability to
drive. Judgment is the first thing affected when
someone has been drinking - motor skills are the
second.

Myth: Hard liquor is more dangerous than beer,
wine or wine coolers


FACT: A 12-ounce can of beer, a five-ounce glass of
wine and a 12-ounce wine cooler contain the same
amount of alcohol and the same intoxication
potential as 1.5 ounces of liquor. All of these will
affect an unborn baby.

Myth: Alcohol affects you less if you eat meat or a
high-carbohydrate meal with it.


FACT: Eating a meal while drinking alcohol does slow
down your body's absorption of alcohol, but it does
not prevent it. You will only get drunk slower.

Myth: Alcohol will not make me gain weight.

FACT: Alcohol is a heavy source of calories, which
can inadvertently cause weight gain. The following
table shows drink portions with their approximate
number of calories:

Alcohol Calorie Chart
Serving
Calories
12 oz.
regular beer
150
12 oz.
light beer
110
5 oz.
glass of wine
90
1.5 oz.
distilled spirits
90
1.5 oz
distilled spirits with soda
170


Myth: One or two drinks will not affect driving
ability


FACT: Alcohol is a depressant drug and therefore
slows down reaction time and affects judgement with just one drink. The effects of alcohol not only depend on the amount consumed, but also on the user's past drinking experience, the way in which the alcohol is consumed, and a person's feelings or mood. The only safe way to drive is sober.

Myth: If a person can abstain for weeks or even
months between drinking bouts, he or she does
not have a drinking problem.


FACT: A person does not have to drink every day or
every week to have a problem with alcohol.The effect of alcohol on a person's home, friends, social life, school life, job, leisure time, medical needs, and
financial responsibilites need to be considered. If
sonemone's drinking affects even one of these areas, the person should consider receiving help to keep it from causing more problems.

Myth: Alcohol improves sexual performance.

FACT: Although a small amount of alcohol may make
you feel less inhibited, anything more will decrease a man's ability to maintain an erection and both
genders' ability to achieve orgasm. As a depressant
drug, alcohol numbs nerve endings and decreases
lubrication while also affecting rational decisions and judgement.

Myth: There are no benefits to drinking alcohol

FACT: In moderation (1 drink per day for women, 2
drinks per day for men), it has been suggested that
alcohol can have some health benefits such as being
protective against heart disease and diabetes.
However, excess use of alcohol can have negative
health effects, and it is recommended that those who do not drink do not start to gain these benefits
without first speaking to a doctor.
