1. HISTORY OF ALCOHOL
History
For millennia, man has been fermenting products containing sugars such as fruits,
cereals, sugar cane, potatoes, and cactus. Obtaining varied products: wines, liquors,
mead, beer, distillates, chicha, absinthe, vermouth, pulque, and sake.
All times, all races, all countries, all fruits, and only one common denominator: alcohol.
This substance is probably the oldest known drug and the first drug addiction in many
countries of the world, being the most consumed by all age groups, sexes, and social
classes, present in our culture for many centuries with great social acceptance.
Antiquity
Opposed to female employment, the Greeks understood that drunkenness was
absolutely intolerable until the second age, and they used to drink watered wine. The
consumption of this drug increased from the age of forty onwards.
Celts, Romans, Scythians, and other ancient peoples did not exclude women from
consumption, and some allowed drinking from adolescence. The expansion of the
Roman Empire meant the first wave of alcoholization of mankind.
Religion
Most religions, such as Buddhism, Islam, etc., despise alcohol. Wine only achieved high
respect in the Jewish religion, which makes it the protagonist in social ceremonies. The
same happens with Christianity, which elevated it to the blood of Christ, thus causing its
diffusion among the population throughout history and creating a habit in all practicing
Catholics.
2. WINE ORIGINS
Although there are indications that the cultivation of the vine and the production of
beverages from grapes (in the form of juices with added sugars) were already being
carried out around 6,000 and 5,000 BC, it is not until the Bronze Age (3,000 BC) when it
is estimated that the true birth of wine took place (before that, perhaps, it had been
achieved accidentally). Archaeologists have found evidence that fixes the origin of the
first wine harvest in Sumer, in the fertile lands irrigated by the Tigris and Euphrates in the
Near East, in ancient Mesopotamia.
TYPE OF GRAPES
- Cabernet Sauvignon. With French origin, today, it is largely cultivated in the
Okanagan Valley (Canada) and in the Beqaa Valley (Lebanon).
- Moon Ball. South Africa
- Cotton candy grapes. Cotton candy is part of the sweet table grape variety
developed by horticulturist David Cain's team in Bakersfield, Calif.
- Types of Muscadine grapes. muscadine grapes are native to the southeastern
and south-central United States.
- Kyoho grapes. Originate in Japan but are mostly grown in China.
- Types of Riesling grapes. Riesling grapes grow best in areas with cold
temperatures and climates such as Austria, Finger Lakes near New York City,
Germany and Canada.
Red grapes
- Tempranillo- SPAIN-In Castilla La Mancha, it can also be found under the name
'Cencibel'.
- Garnacha- SPAIN-grown with special intensity in the north-eastern regions (La
Rioja, Navarra, Aragón and Cataluña).
- Monastrell-This is the typical grape of Murcia and southern Valencia. The best
place to discover it, the wineries of Jumilla and Yecla.
- Cabernet Sauvignon-French and the most widespread grape used in many of
the best red wines in the world.
- Merlot-Also of French origin, it is found in the wines of the right bank of Bordeaux,
Saint Emilion.
- Syrah-Another widespread French grape. Spain there are some Syrah wines that
have extraordinary power and unctuousness-French Syrah, more acidic and
smooth.
- CABERNET FRANC (France)-It is undoubtedly one of the best known grape
varieties of Bordeaux, which is usually blended with Cabernet Sauvignon and
Merlot, being also very common in the Loire Valley (Bourgueil, Chinon and
Saumur).
- CABERNET SAUVIGNON (France)-We are facing the most valued grape variety
worldwide, its wild character has allowed it to spread throughout most of the
world's producing areas and adapt to all its new locations from its original region:
the Médoc, in the well-known region of Bordeaux (France).
WHITE WINE. The color of white wine comes from little or no contact, during
fermentation, of the must with the skins of the grapes containing the pigmentation. It
should be noted that the must, both from white and red grapes, is colorless. In fact, there
are some French wines and champagnes made from red grapes.
On the other hand, each wine has its "own" color according to the grape variety or
vineyard used and the age of the wine.
The polyphenols, which are further divided into anthocyanins and tannins, are
responsible for the definitive color of a wine: Anthocyanins are found in the pulp and
especially in the skin of grapes. They are responsible for the definitive color of red wine.
Tannins are found in the skin, pips and stems. They are responsible for the astringency
of some wines.

CHAMPAGNE:Tradition attributes the discovery of champagne to Dom Pierre Pérignon,

a French Benedictine monk who lived from 1638 to 1715 and spent a good part of his 77
years of life in the abbey of Hautvillers, located in the heart of the Champagne region
(where champagne is produced).
WHISKY: Whisky was born in Ireland and its production spread rapidly in Scotland. It is a
cereal distillate aged in wooden casks. The pioneers in distilling it and formalizing the
process of elaboration were monks, from whom it passed to the peasants who installed
an infinity of home stills. There are three types of whisky:
- SINGLE MALT WHISKY.
This is a single distillery whisky made only with malted barley, water and yeast.
Single Malt Scotch Whiskies traditionally come from five regions: Lowland, Highland,
Island, Speyside and Campbelltown. The different regions are famous for specific
characteristics such as fruity smell, freshness, malty quality and smoky smell.
- GRAIN WHISKY
This is a type of whiskey in which the main ingredient is corn, wheat or both.
- BLENDED SCOTCH WHISKY
A Blended Scotch Whisky is made by blending Single Malt and Single Grain whiskies.
The advantage of blending is that it is possible to ensure that the flavor and quality of the
whiskey will last time after time.
TEQUILA: This spirit has its origins in the 16th century (around 1538) and takes its name
from the region where it was born, the magical town of Tequila, in Jalisco, where a large
number of factories producing the emblematic national drink are located.

BRANDY-COGNAC: Brandy is a beverage made from wine of different types of grapes,

while cognac is a type of brandy that is also made from wine, but in this case from white
grape varieties from the French region of Cognac.
RUM: The antecedents of rum date back to the Arab period in Granada, during the 11th
century. The Arabs brought sugar cane from India and used it to prepare a fermented
beverage. When Granada fell to the Spaniards, they took sugarcane cultivation to the
West Indies.

VODKA: The history of vodka began in Russia in the 14th century. In 1430, the first
Russian vodka recipe was created by Isidore the Monk, and it was a bread wine, which
had a low alcohol content (no more than 40% alcohol) and many people referred to it as
"burning wine".

SAKE: Sake is the name by which we know the alcoholic beverage obtained from the
fermentation of rice and not from its distillation. In Japan it is an institution, the country's
national drink; it is consumed regularly and even has a spiritual significance for some
religions.

FIREWATER: The history of aguardiente goes back to Christopher Columbus himself,

who brought sugar cane to America on his second voyage, and with the first crops,
aguardiente began to be produced.
In 1413, the French physician Arnau de Vilanova is credited with having baptized the
drink as "agua vitae", water of life, since it was believed that aguardiente prolonged life.

BEER: The Egyptians attributed a divine origin to beer, it would have been a gift from
Osiris, son of heaven and earth, first king of the banks of the Nile: "Lord of beer in the
flood and lord of revelry at the feast" reads an inscription in the ancient temples.
The Egyptians were the first to commercialize beer. As good merchants, given that the
price of this cereal was high, they used a variety of wheat: spelt. They also discovered
malt, added saffron, honey, ginger and cumin to give it flavor and color.

COCKTAIL: The origin of the cocktail dates back to the 19th century, when in a
pharmacy in New Orleans, a pharmacist named Antonio Peychaud used to offer his
friends drinks prepared in an egg cup (coquetier) following a recipe from his native
islands based on bitters, cognac, sugar and spices.
The term cocktail, for example, was first recorded in a document written in 1806. The
Balance & Columbian Repository of Hudson, New York, defined cocktail as "a stimulating
liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters". This mixture later
became known as Old Fashioned.

LIMONCELLO: The most famous legend is the one that places the creation of limoncello
at the hand of Maria Antonia Farace, in the late 1800's. She lived in a small house on
Isola Azzurra and had a garden where she grew lemons and oranges. She lived in a
small house on Isola Azzurra and had a garden in which she grew lemons and oranges.
Limoncello is a sweet and easy-to-drink alcohol, especially in comparison with grappa or
orujo, which is stronger on the palate. The acidity of the lemon helps to balance the sugar
contained in the liqueur and gives a fresh mouthfeel, which is why it is so appreciated.
TYPES OF ALCOHOL AND THEIR USES
The alcohol used as an antiseptic and kept in the home medicine cabinet is called ethyl
alcohol or ethanol, but it is not the only type that exists. These are the three most
common types of alcohol:
Ethyl alcohol. Also called ethanol, it is found in alcoholic beverages, such as beer or
wine. It is also used in pharmaceuticals (antiseptic and disinfectant) and cosmetics (for
example, perfumes).
Methyl alcohol. Also known as methanol and is mainly used as a solvent.
Isopropyl alcohol. Also known as isopropanol or propanol. It is mainly used for cleaning:
among other things, electronic devices, and optical lenses. It also works well as a
disinfectant.

3. DURATION OF ALCOHOL IN THE BODY AND WHAT IT DOES TO THE BODY

Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant, that is, it is a drug that slows down brain
activity. It can change your mood, behavior, and self-control. It can cause problems with
memory and thinking clearly. It can also affect your coordination and physical control.
In addition, alcohol has effects on other organs in the body. For example, it can raise
your blood pressure and heart rate. If you drink too much at once, it can cause vomiting.
Why are the effects of alcohol different from person to person?
The effects of alcohol vary from person to person, depending on a variety of factors,
including:
- How much you drank
- How fast you drank
- The amount of food you consumed before drinking
- Your age
- Your gender
- Your race or ethnicity
- Your physical condition
- Whether or not you have a family history of alcohol problems.
What is moderate drinking?
- For most women, moderate drinking means no more than one standard drink per
day.
- For most men, it means no more than two standard drinks a day.
 4. BENEFITS AND CONSEQUENCES OF ALCOHOLISM
Any potential benefits of alcohol are relatively small and may not apply to all individuals.
In fact, the latest dietary guidelines make it clear that no one should start drinking alcohol
or drink more often on the basis of potential health benefits. For many people, the
potential benefits do not outweigh the risks, and avoiding alcohol is the best option.
On the other hand, if you are a light to the moderate drinker and are healthy, you can
probably continue to drink alcohol as long as you do so responsibly.
Definition of moderate
Moderate alcohol consumption in healthy adults generally means up to one drink a day
for women and up to two drinks a day for men.
Examples of one drink include:
- Beer: 12 fluid ounces (355 milliliters)
- Wine: 5 fluid ounces (148 milliliters)
- Distilled spirits (80-proof): 1.5 fluid ounces (44 milliliters)
Advantages and disadvantages of moderate alcohol consumption
Moderate alcohol consumption may provide some health benefits, including the following:
- Reducing the risk of developing heart disease and dying from it.
- Possibly reduce the risk of ischemic stroke (when the arteries leading to the brain
become narrowed or blocked, causing severely reduced blood flow)
- Possibly reduce the risk of diabetes
However, eating a healthy diet and being physically active have many more healthy
benefits and are measures that have been more extensively studied.
Keep in mind that even moderate alcohol consumption is not without risk. For example,
even light drinkers (those who have no more than one drink a day) have a minuscule, but
real, increased risk of some cancers, such as esophageal cancer. And drinking and
driving is never a good idea.
Risks of excessive alcohol consumption
While moderate alcohol consumption may offer some health benefits, heavy drinking
(including binge drinking) has no health benefits.
Binge or high-risk drinking is defined as more than three drinks on any day or more than
seven drinks per week for women and men over age 65, and more than four drinks on
any day or more than 14 drinks per week for men age 65 and younger.
Binge drinking refers to four or more drinks within a two-hour period for women and five
or more drinks within a two-hour period for men.
Binge drinking can increase the risk of serious health problems, which include:
- Certain cancers, including breast cancer and cancers of the mouth, throat,
esophagus, and liver.
- Pancreatitis
- Sudden death if you already have cardiovascular disease
- Damage to the heart muscle (alcoholic cardiomyopathy) leading to heart failure
- Stroke
- High blood pressure
- Liver disease
- Suicide
- Serious injury or accidental death
- Brain damage and other problems in an unborn baby
- Alcohol withdrawal syndrome
In certain situations, the risks of alcohol may outweigh the potential health benefits. For
example, check with your doctor about drinking if:
- You are pregnant or trying to become pregnant
- You have been diagnosed with alcoholism or alcohol addiction, or have a strong
family history of alcoholism.
- You have had a hemorrhagic stroke (when a blood vessel in the brain leaks or
ruptures).
- Have liver or pancreatic disease
- You have heart failure or have been told you have a weak heart.
- You take prescription or over-the-counter medications that may interact with
alcohol.

5. THE SYMPTOMS OF ALCOHOLISM

Alcohol use disorder can be mild, moderate, or severe, depending on the number of
symptoms you exhibit. Signs and symptoms include the following:
- Being unable to limit the amount of alcohol you drink.
- Intending to reduce the amount you drink or having tried to do so without success
- Spending a lot of time drinking, getting alcohol, or recovering from alcohol consumption
- Feeling intense cravings or cravings for alcohol
- Being unable to fulfill important obligations at work, school, or home because of
repeated drinking.
- Continuing to drink alcohol even though you know it causes physical, social,
occupational, or interpersonal problems.
Giving up or limiting social and work activities and hobbies in order to use alcohol.
- Consuming alcohol in unsafe situations, such as when driving or swimming.
- Developing a tolerance to alcohol, so you need to drink more to feel the effect or feel
less effect with the same amount
- Having withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, and shakiness, when you
don't drink, or drinking to avoid these symptoms.
Alcohol use disorder can consist of periods of drunkenness (acute alcoholism) and
withdrawal symptoms.
- Acute alcoholism. It results from an increased amount of alcohol in the bloodstream.
The higher the blood alcohol concentration, the more likely you are to suffer adverse
effects. Acute alcoholism causes behavioral problems and mental changes.
- Alcohol withdrawal. can occur when alcohol consumption has been heavy and
prolonged and is then stopped or greatly reduced. It can occur within several hours to 4
or 5 days later. Signs and symptoms include sweating, rapid heartbeat, hand tremors,
trouble sleeping, nausea and vomiting, hallucinations, restlessness and agitation,
anxiety, and sometimes seizures.

6. PHASES OF ALCOHOLISM
From the first consumption to the development of serious addiction or even neurological
problems, 4 phases have been estimated: pre-alcoholic, early alcoholism, crucial phase,
and a last chronic phase.
Pre-alcoholic phase: Alcohol is used to relieve unpleasant emotional states. The
amount consumed increases slightly. The organism gets used to it and tolerance
develops. There are no functioning problems, for the time being.
2. Prodromal phase: It appears progressively and slowly. The need for consumption
increases and the consumption behavior is altered: higher alcohol content, thinking about
drinking, drinking in one gulp or faster, drinking on the sly, etc...
3. Critical phase: Unable to interrupt consumption once started, loss of control, mood
swings. Psychological, family, and work functioning is affected. Self-deception appears.
The person focuses his or her life on alcohol, neglecting other areas. The first physical
symptoms of consumption appear.
4. Chronic phase: The abstinence syndrome appears, causing the person to remain
drunk almost uninterruptedly. Severe deterioration of the person's life, social decadence.
Presents organic symptoms. They may consume cheap substitutes for alcohol. In this
phase, there may be (paradoxically) a decrease in tolerance to alcohol.

7. RISK FACTORS
Alcohol use can begin in adolescence, but alcohol use disorder most often occurs
between the ages of 20 and 40, although it can occur at any age.
Here are some risk factors for alcohol use disorder:
- Consistent drinking over time. Frequent heavy drinking over a long period of
time or frequent binge drinking can lead to alcohol-related problems or alcohol use
disorder.
- Starting at an early age. People who begin drinking, especially binge drinking, at
a young age are at increased risk for alcohol use disorder.
- Family history. The risk of having alcohol use disorder is higher in people who
have a parent or other close family member with an alcohol problem. This may be
influenced by genetic factors.
- Depression and other mental health problems. It is common for people with
mental disorders, such as anxiety, depression, schizophrenia, or bipolar disorder,
to have problems with alcohol or other substances.
- History of trauma. People with a history of emotional or other trauma are at
increased risk for alcohol use disorder.
- Bariatric surgery. Some research studies indicate that having bariatric surgery
may increase the risk of alcohol use disorder or relapse after recovery from
alcohol use disorder.
- Social and cultural factors. Having friends or a partner who drinks regularly may
increase the risk of alcohol use disorder. The appealing way in which alcohol use
is sometimes portrayed in the media may also convey the message that heavy
drinking is okay. For young people, the influence of parents, peers, and other role
models may affect risk.

8. HOW TO AVOID FALLING INTO ALCOHOLISM?

To prevent alcoholism in adolescents, there are basically the following two strategies that
parents and educators should take into account.
1. Encouraging an assertive style
It is common for adolescents who have tried alcohol to try other substances, such as
marijuana or, if they have had access, cocaine. Sometimes these cases are due to a
notorious lack of information about the effects of these substances, but in most cases
they are due to adolescents being curious and also, in an attempt to be rebellious,
refusing to listen to what adults have told them.
The goal is for the adolescent to achieve an assertive style of expression, saying what
he/she wants in a sincere, direct, and appropriate way, feeling that the parents respect
his/her point of view, which he/she is sharing as the adult he/she will be in a few years. If
given, mention specific and concrete behaviors that are related to possible alcohol
abuse.
2. Establishing rules
Establishing rules, privileges, and punishments is fundamental to any good education.
Parents and educators must actively intervene to prevent inappropriate behaviors,
including alcohol use. Adult supervision and monitoring should be aimed at helping
adolescents learn the most adaptive behaviors.
Monitoring the adolescent should not be taken as synonymous with controlling everything
he or she does. The adolescent who feels controlled either becomes frustrated or does
everything possible to rebel. What is appropriate is that, by talking openly and without
seeing it as a violation of their privacy, parents ask how the day went, what they did with
their friends, and what they would like to do with their classmates.
3. What to do on their first binge?
Dealing with the first binge is a very difficult situation for any concerned parent. Not only
because it can be traumatic to see a child in this state, but also because it is difficult to
maintain composure. It is common to not know how to react correctly to this situation,
being frequently the anger, sad, shouting, and loss of nerve. In addition, parents can
escape hurtful comments that will not help.
The first thing to avoid is to talk about it while the drunkenness is taking place, that is to
say, not to talk to the adolescent when he/she cannot defend him/herself. In addition to
the fact that he will hardly remember what you tell him in that state, the only thing we will
do is to make him behave more violently, opt for passivity and "whatever you say". The
best thing to do is to postpone the conversation to the next day, when the child is in a
position to maintain a dialogue without the world turning upside down.
The next day, when the conversation, not discussion, takes place, you should avoid
dramatization, but show seriousness, as the situation requires it. The adolescent must
understand that this is a serious matter, in which his parents are concerned about his
health, and that it is necessary to take action and talk about it.
Prevention in adults
Although as adults we are not as susceptible to influence as adolescents, the truth is that
alcohol abuse disorder can catch anyone unawares, especially after having lived through
a very stressful or traumatic situation, such as the sudden loss of a loved one, a badly
handled breakup, mistreatment, a terrorist attack or sexual abuse. Many people take
refuge in alcohol to try to endure all the pain and suffering that these situations may have
caused them.
1. Alcohol away from home
The best way to avoid temptation is to keep it away. Alcohol should be kept away from
home, so you will avoid consuming it when you are bored. If your pantry has all kinds of
liquor, you are more likely to be tempted easily.
The first step is not to have alcohol for consumption alone. You can buy a six-pack of
beer if friends are coming over, but only drink it in front of other people.
Once the party or social event in question is over, you can give the leftover alcohol to
guests to take with them or, if they don't want it, pour it down the drain. We should not
feel bad about throwing away a drug.
2. Substitutes
Once the alcohol has been removed from the pantries, to try to calm the cravings you
can buy other non-alcoholic drinks, such as sparkling water, tea, or soft drinks (preferably
sugar-free) to fill the void.
3. Avoid emotional drinking
Alcohol consumption does not happen just for the sake of it. We often consume alcohol
alone for various reasons, all of them related to feelings: we are bored, sad, lonely,
stressed... All these feelings are the emotional basis of many addictions and people drink
hoping to see if it will lift their spirits.
It is best to drink only in certain social situations when we are having a good time and
there is a reason to celebrate, or never at all since alcohol drunk in moderation is also
harmful to our health.
4. Try non-alcoholic activities
In many groups of friends going to a bar is a tradition. But that doesn't mean you can't do
something new, such as hiking, biking, trying a new sport, or taking a language course.
By doing these types of activities where alcohol is not welcome, you can enjoy an
unforgettable experience with your group of friends, without it being blurred by
drunkenness.
5. Surround yourself with people who don't drink
Surprising as it may seem, there are many people around us who are teetotalers, or who
consume alcohol on very occasional occasions.
It is very healthy to share time with people like this since they do not encourage alcohol
consumption and they already know other ways to entertain themselves. It is very nice
not to have to face people who invite us to consume every time we see them.
6. Exercise
Exercise is a way of coping with problems, as long as they are not too serious. As long
as consumption is moderate but you want to reduce it, exercise is one of the best
strategies to prevent alcoholism.
