Probably both the personality and physiological
characteristics of the alcohol user and sex addict
including the environment or setting in which the substance
is used influence the reaction observed.
This is another case in which the interaction
between the person and the situation, which has
been referred to so often throughout my writings, is important
in understanding individual behavior. However,
although these individual characteristics have a major
influence on a person's response to a mood- or behavior-
modifying substance, such substances do have certain
general effects that are experienced by most people
who use them.
Alcohol
What Is Alcohol?
Alcohol is a chemical compound known as ethyl alcohol
or ethanol . Other kinds of alcohol are isopropyl alcohol
(rubbing alcohol) and methyl alcohol (wood alcohol).
Ethanol is safe for human (beer and wine alcohol has been
known for at least ten thousand years. The oldest of all
archaeological records contain reference to its use.
The ethanol contained in beer, wine, or hard liquor
is the same drug. The only difference is in the
amount of alcohol as a percentage of total volume. In
beer and wine, the percentage usually varies from 3 to
14 percent . In hard liquor, or spirits as they are sometimes
called, the percentage varies from 40 percent (80
proof ) to 75 percent (150 proof ). The amount of pure
ethanol is generally about the same in a one-and one
-half ounce shot of whiskey (or other hard liquor) a
six-ounce glass of wine, or a twelve-ounce bottle of
beer. 6 the short term, alcohol acts on the central
nervous system, the brain and spinal cord, as a "blocker"
of 11J-Rssages transmitted from one nerve cell to the
first affects the frontal lobes of the brain, the
seat of inhibitions, reasoning powers, memory, and
judgment . After continued consumption the next affects
the cerebellum, the seat of motor muscle control,
balance, and the Senses touch, ring, sight, smell,
and taste). Finally, it affects the J3-Aedulla and spinal
cord, the seat of involuntary function s such as breathing,
heart rate, and body temperature control. If
enough alcohol is consumed, to the point of a blood!
alcohol level of .50 percent or more, the involuntary
function system can shut down and the person dies
from acute alcohol poison~
Alcohol abuse and sex addiction
Negative effects of overuse of alcohol have been considered
a serious problem for many years, 70 percent
of adults in America drink alcohol on occasion; 12
percent of them are heavy drinking people who drink
almost every day and become intoxicated several times a
month. More men than women are heavy drinkers. For
both men and women , the prevalence of drinking is
highest and abstention is lowest in the 21- to 34-year
age range (Goodwin, 2003) and provides estimates of the
percent of alcohol in the blood as a function of amount of
alcohol consumed and body weight and summarizes information
about some of the many areas of life and segments of the population
that are adversely affected by alcohol intake.
Abuse of alcohol or other psychoactive substances
means using them in a way that has negative effects on
a person's life. Alcohol abuse and sex addiction shows several typical patterns:
regular daily intake of a large amount, regular
heavy drinking confined to weekends, and unpredictable
binge drinking long periods without alcohol interrupted
by episodes of heavy drinking lasting for weeks.
or months. Alcohol abuse is often referred to as problem
drinking. Problem drinking should not be viewed
as a step on the way to alcoholism, though some individuals
do progress from one to the other. Alcohol dependence
or addiction is referred to as alcoholism.
~Alcoholism is something quite different and
shows the change to solitary drinking behavior typical
of alcoholism.
My alcoholism took years to develop into a
chronic affliction and during much of that time I
went to bars after work one of the guys. The delusion
was gradually reinforced by gravitation. I mingled
more and more with other persistent drinkers who
took longer and longer to call for their bar tabs. Most
of us were actually alcoholics in varying stages of
development. The non alcoholics had long ago selected
themselves out. Those of us who remained agreed that
we were normal. Unhappy but normal.
Alcoholic perceptions are like that in a
hundred insidious and distorting ways. All of them
are aimed at protecting a drunkard’s notion that he
is possessed of free will. My drinking buddies and I
agreed that we did not have a drinking problem.
Everything in our increasingly narrow world though
was a problem that required drinking: the wife, the
kids the boss, the government. In dingy watering
holes from which everyone with a healthy life to lead
had gone home, we conspired to overlook the obvious
that our bodily cells were addicted and our minds
were along for the ride.
