What are the physical effects on the human body's psychological development from chronic alcohol abuse.?

Answer 1

Psychological development encompasses more than physical effects. Neurological (physical) effects include neuropathy and nerve degeneration, in the muscular, brain and heart tissue.

Memory loss, brain damage, early senility, immaturity, and seizures (like epilepsy) are common.

Depression, sleep disorders, and sexual dysfunction also very common.

Anti--social behavor results, too, and it hard to classify whether this is physical, or psychological.

In addition, alcohol attacks EVERY other tissue and organ system of the human body.

The ultimate result is untimely death, from accident or organ poisoning [liver and pancreas, primarily].

Answer 2

Emotional maturity comes to a grinding halt, as the ethanol affects the frontal lobes even more than the rest, and that area of the brain is the last to develop.

Ethanol use encourages people to behave in ways they would not otherwise, and leaves them with the detritus of their actions, which further sadden them, leading to more alcohol abuse. They are not good employees, even when they are not intoxicated "at work" as their thinking and ability to do a thorough job on any task is impaired, they are oversensitive to criticism, and interpret those helpful suggestions as overt criticism and subsequently as an excuse to drink more.

Ethanol intoxication interferes with the normal sleep cycle, and the alcoholic who spends eight hours passed out, and tries to pass it off as sleep will get into trouble relatively soon. It is the same as getting 30 min or an hour of sleep, or even less. Imagine yourself just purposefully setting about to skip several nights of sleep and think how alert and competent you would be at any job.

Someone who becomes an alcoholic will subsequently show the level of emotional and psychological development they were just before they began drinking. Should they dry out then, they have to begin again at whatever age they were when it began, to learn how to process infomation, particularly about interpersonal relationships. Seen it time and time again, the person sitting before you IS 35, looks 55 and acts 15.

Answer 3

Well im sure you know of the side effects of alcohol consumption, a freakin 3rd grader does... but anyways it damages the liver, causes impaired judgement, loss of motor skills, and you lose your inhibitions (the "liquid confidence"). Alcohol consumption once in awhile, example a glass of wine with your dinner once or twice a week, can be good because it can flush out the system. But of course, as it is common sense, over consumption on a daily basis leads to a dependency on alcohol.
