Here are few myths about alcoholism which are still believed by many people worldwide.
The alcoholic is usually drunk - not necessarily. In most cases the alcoholic often maintain high levels of blood alcohol that would let him do a "normal life". That is, having a "point" but does not lose control of what they do. Paradoxically, many of which we often see drunken people are often those who "know not" drink and one day of the week have "calculated" properly the amount they were consuming.
The alcoholic drinks daily - Only in certain profile and situation. Sometimes the alcoholic drinks on weekends only. In other cases, for example, women who are alcohol just turn to the substance on the days before or during menstruation to alleviate the pain. However, in our country we are concerned that many people start drinking from late in the morning: "carajillo" a mid-morning beer, some wine or beer over dinner. Any liquor or "down" after lunch. Individually not taken in a single dose of alcohol but the sum of these is important to be diagnosed as an alcohol problem.
The alcoholic has the appearance of strength - This is absolutely not true in the sense that it is only his thoughts that maneuver the thinking. Sure, just seem to have that aspect when symptoms are evident or when not conform to our stereotypical image of what we assume as "alcoholic". The first image that many people are coming to mind is that of the indigent poor, unfortunate inhabitant of the underworld street clutching his bottle that sings songs while we see passing in the street. However, most have a face "normal" to the extent that people close to them know, in many cases, the problem of alcoholism that friend or close relative suffers. Many patients have tried and which are normal workers who can not perform in their daily without a blood-alcohol levels. At other times illustrious figures of Spanish social life is happening exactly the same. Nor can we forget suffered housewives need some alcohol intake, or even minors who only know "fun" if they have drunk alcohol.
Well, I only drink beer. Is not that being an alcoholic, right? - Wrong. Fake. The beer has the same type of alcohol and addictive substances just like other beverages (ethyl alcohol) but lesser quantity. But many beer drinkers drink a lot of beers a day without realizing this. Finally, the quantified amount of ethyl alcohol in grams is, in many cases similar to those who drink liquor or other spirits.
My analysis is well and physically I feel fine. Can I become an alcoholic after all? - True. The analytical and physical deterioration often occurs in advanced stages of alcoholism. Its translation into abnormal figures transaminases (liver enzymes) occurs when there is real suffering of the liver. In many cases the body is responding in a more or less regular but this does not mean that psychological addiction level has advanced significantly.
