Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by randomguy: what are the effects of sodium, caffeine, and alcohol on the calcium levels in the body?
help me please?

Answer by just ashley.
I know that if you drink too much water (i.e., dilute sodium in the blood), your kidneys will also excrete more calcium, leading to a deficiency in calcium.
Caffeine is a vasoconstrictor, which means that it makes blood vessels constrict, causting more fluids to go to the kidneys–making one urinate more; which means another way to calcium deficiency.
Alcohol is also a vasoconstrictor. See caffeine.

Question by Clint R: How quickly does the average body overcome the effects of alcohol?
I know that the average body breaks alcohol down 1 drink per hour, but if I drink a 12 pack in 6 hours, I feel very drunk after the 12th beer compared to how I felt after the second beer. So what does the body break alcohol down into, and how long does it take for the average body to get the counterparts of alcohol of its system?

Best answer:

Answer by Shadow
on average, the human body breaks down alcohol at a rate of about one beer an hour. Also this equals about one shot of liqueur an hour.

Question by Ben: If you are on antibiotics and you drank alcohol, what effect does it have on your body?
I am a 16 year old girl with who can handle quite a lot of alcohol. I am currently on antibiotics because my wisdom teeth are coming out and I have to have them removed but until then I have to be on the antibiotics. Last night when I went out I only had two and a half drinks. Which normally doesnt affect me at all but I felt so out of it last night. Does the antibiotics that I took have anything to do with it?

Answer by Crazy Advice
You don’t need to drink you are under age to start off with and you don’t need to mix alcohol with antibiotics because it can cause the antibiotics to not work!
