The chapters keep getting more and more interesting! I never knew there were classifications for different types of alcoholics. Delta, Epilson, who knew! I have learned quite a bit of this in previous health classes, such as the information on the effects of alcoholic on different parts of the body. Alcohol has some serious effects on the liver! Knowing what it can do to you makes a person never want to drink again.
These discussions were interesting. I chose to do mine on the "hair of the dog" hangover cure. It seems like a lot of people chose to do it on domestic violence or children of alcoholics. I learned that children of alcoholics are more likely to have certain behavioral, psychological, and emotional problems rather then people who wernt born from an alcoholic. I also learned domestic violence is linked to alcoholism but not directly. One can cause the other but just because there is domestic violence in a home doesnt mean one of the parents is an alcoholic.
The mini lecture this time was fun! I never knew what crazy laws there were in some states. Like the one about sending a friend alcohol as a gift, a person can end up in jail! Ridiculous!
I think I improved a lot in this class. My first quiz score was awful and I made sure that it didnt happen again! I have been spending much more time reviewing the material to make my grade the best it can be.
One word I didnt know was teetotalers which is an individual who drinks no alcoholic beverages whatsoever. I never knew there was a term for that. There are definitely a lot of people in the world that are teetotalers. The second word i chose was alcoholic cardiomyopathy which is congestive heart failure due to the replacement of hear muscle with fat and fiber.
