Female alcoholism Waiting for their turn at the box office insupermarket, under the eyes of this woman, I gradually began to feel like something like Britney Spears. It was raining on the street, it was getting dark, a little more - and the son, who just turned a year, will be put to bed. My neighbor in turn, judging by her appearance, a successful business woman, deftly held several bottles free of a giant fashionable hand bag (due to the large influx of visitors, there were no carts for the products). At that moment I was wearing a tracksuit, my hair stuck together because of the rain, and since both hands were occupied with bottles, I was pushing the stroller with my knee in front of me. Having imagined what thoughts should be heard in this lady’s head: “Is it possible for a mother to pull a child out in such weather to get drunk?” - I immediately felt her cheeks flush with paint. But suddenly she gave me a tired, sympathetic smile, saying: “It was a hard day, huh?” The day really was preparshivy. My husband went away on business, the nurse got sick, another term for the delivery of the article was approaching me. Every cell of my body seemed to scream: chardonnay, ball-don-no! But to confess that damn want to drink - well, no! Answering the lady a mean smile, I looked away to the side. This story is just one of many that I heard from my friends, colleagues and acquaintances. Some of them drink, but they are tormented by a sense of guilt. One of my friends (a girl already 35 years old) admitted that when she entered a grocery store, she every time feels like a teenager trying to slip into someone else's passport. The heart begins to pound, and the inner voice shouts: “Calmly, only without panic!” - as if she were a drug courier undergoing customs control. If you need three or four glasses, only to let off steam, this can hardly be considered a moderate drink, so you should think about it. Healthy lifestyle, what is so terrible that actually happens? Alcohol rarely brings to the troubles intelligent young ladies with higher education, working in decent companies. No one goes into the oncoming traffic lane on the highway, does not forget to wear underwear and does not think about visiting an anonymous alcoholic society. Today, almost every one of us, those who are approaching the so-called "middle age", is a classic modern, moderately drunk woman. But since lately almost all celebrities have had time to stay behind bars or in a private hospital due to problems with alcohol, many of us are beginning to wonder: can drinking in general be combined with a healthy lifestyle? If we take into account only physical parameters, then scientific studies show that among moderately drinking (no more than 4–5 glasses of wine a week), the percentage of strokes, heart attacks, liver cancer, diabetes and other ailments is not more, and, according to some studies vany, less than the absolute teetotalers. So, it would seem, you can safely console yourself: negative consequences for health threaten only those who drink vserez. One of the studies conducted in Holland showed that moderately drunk employees in stressful situations do not go to the service less often than absolute sobermen. There is evidence that many moderately drinking people use alcohol in difficult life situations as an effective method of self-treatment, which American doctors consider more acceptable than sedatives. Living by the rules
How much wine you can drink Great news, not sowhether? But wait, you probably forgot to familiarize yourself with the footnote (yes, the one that is typed in the smallest font in any contract). As soon as scientists begin to investigate specific behavioral patterns, it turns out that the circle of people who benefit from alcohol is very small. Does a person drink regularly, but gradually or, conversely, drinks a lot, but only on weekends and holidays? Does it bite? Prefers wine, beer or strong alcohol? If you do not drink at all, then how long did you quit? After the answers to these and other questions have been received, it suddenly turns out that women must firmly limit themselves to one or two drinks per day if they want to achieve a “health-improving” effect. By “serving” is meant 44 ml of strong alcohol, 148 ml of wine or 355 ml of beer. Try it, measure out 148 ml of a wine beaker - this is a bit! For health, it is preferable to drink while eating: alcohol is absorbed into the blood more slowly, reducing body toxicity, and regulates the processing of food fats. And finally, if you take two people who drink a bottle of wine a week, the one who drinks a little every day will be healthier, and not his comrade finishing the bottle in one evening.
