Alcoholism Recovery & Treatment

Question by : Define cell pathology and identify the type of cell which has been damaged by alcohol?
Mr. X has been admitted to the accident and emergency department. He has been involved in a motorbike accident, is unconscious and has leg injuries which will require surgery.
Witnesses at the scene of the accident told ambulance staff that he did not appear to have proper control of his motorbike and drove headlong into the path of an upcoming vehicle.
Before Mr. X can undergo surgery for his crushed leg his blood needs to be tested to see if he has any underlying conditions which need to be taken into account before surgery commences. He also shows signs of internal haemorrhaging and may also require treatment for blood loss.
The blood results have now been returned from the laboratory emergency services and it now transpires that Mr. X has raised blood alcohol levels and was drunk at the time of the accident.
His hospital medical records have been traced and reveal that Mr. X has been receiving ongoing medical care for liver disease due to alcoholism.
He has been attending monthly clinics to monitor his liver function.

Question by Reneir: Which Type Of Alcohol Is Least Toxic On Body?
What is the best type of Alcohol to drink, least toxic on body, low hangover effects.

Best answer:

Answer by Jason L
Chemically, alcohol is alcohol.

The only way to reduce the toxic effects (hangover being one of them) is to keep the level of consumption at a level that your body can handle it. For the average person, that’s one standard drink an hour.

A standard drink is 1.5 oz of spirits or 5 oz of table wine or 12 oz of beer/cooler.

As to how you’ll react to a spirit or a wine or beer? That’s really personal. Scotch whisky seems to be very mild to my body, but I have friends that feel like they’ve been hit by a bus when we drink whisky.
