Alcohol dependence (Korsakov psychosis 02)

In view of Sheng Ming's reckless drinking behavior, Qi Yu decided to educate him, no matter how much love is said, Qi Yu thought hard.

The effect of alcohol on the nervous system and the resulting effect on the behavior of the drinker is expressed in terms of how much alcohol is in the blood, known as the blood alcohol level.

A blood alcohol level of 0.08% is considered intoxicated, and 0.4% is fatal.Very high blood alcohol levels can trigger a state of mental confusion known as toxic delirium, which can increase the risk of accidents by causing disorientation, reduced mental clarity, and disrupted memory and attention to the environment.Habitual excessive drinking can also lead to stomach ulcers, high blood pressure, heart disease, liver cirrhosis, cancer and brain damage, leading to early dementia.

Sheng Ming hugged Qi Yu's waist from behind, leaning on Qi Yu's body, seeing Qi Yu skillfully washing and chopping vegetables, lighting them up and putting them on the fire, he felt indescribably satisfied.Being able to stay at home on weekends, cook a meal, chat with your loved ones, and get tired of being together seems to be the highest form of happiness.

In fact, pharmacologically, alcohol is classified as a depressant.Alcohol reduces and interferes with the transmission of electrical impulses in the centers of the brain, areas that control, organize and inhibit complex mental processes.

Alcohol may initially have a stimulating rather than a depressing effect.After a glass or two of wine, people often become more talkative and more active.

When alcohol blood levels reach 0.03%-0.06%, two types of effects occur.One is a change in mood and social behavior, with some becoming depressed and self-blaming, others becoming amorous or aggressive.The amorous type starts to pay attention to strangers with ill intentions, and the aggressive type starts to make trouble and fight.

The second is that judgment is weakened.

As blood alcohol levels continue to rise, the depressing effects of alcohol begin to become apparent.Speech slows down, stutters, articulates words unclearly, judgment is further weakened, and then it is easy to make more reckless behaviors.

"Such as having sex after drinking?" Sheng Ming's hand unconsciously groped in from the hem of Qi Yu's shirt, it had nothing to do with desire, it was simply stroking, feeling the feeling of skin-to-skin contact.Qi Yu felt a little itchy, and avoided him.

Are sexual indiscretions and aggressive behavior a direct result of alcohol's physiological effects on the brain?

"Increased sexual arousal has little to do with the chemical effects of alcohol," Qi said solemnly. There are enough reasons, and the will determines the behavior, so the sex is naturally disordered."

"Of course, alcohol itself also affects some aspects of sexual response. If you drink too much, you will become sexually impotent. You should pay attention." Qi Yu patted Sheng Ming back.

"Well, I'll pay attention." Sheng Ming rubbed Qi Yu's neck in a funny way.

Sexual arousal is true, but aggressive behavior does not seem to be a function of the drinker's belief that the alcohol is the result of the chemical effects of the alcohol. Is a result of real alcohol chemistry, including loss of self-control and executive function.

"Some people drink a lot of social drinking for a long time, and when they wake up the next day, they are ignorant and have no memory of the previous day's drinking. It's dangerous when it happens."

Zhou Nan went to the tea room to drink water, and was startled when he passed by the next door. There was a lot of chaos inside. A middle-aged man was swearing, his description was messy, and his complexion was dark and red. It seemed that the living standard had been drifting downstream for a long time, and the quality of education was not high.

Zhou Nan asked the young intern sitting at the door what was going on.

The young man said helplessly: "This uncle doesn't know what's going on. It's been a month, and he's going to make a fuss every few days. He insists that his son is missing and let us find him. One After we started filing the case, we also went to investigate according to the clues he provided. Guess what, his son died three months ago and committed suicide by jumping into the lake at A University, so we closed the case.

"At first we sympathized with him. It's not sad for a white-haired person to send a black-haired person. But then he came a few times to ask us to find his son. We all thought he was so sad because his son died so he comforted him. He didn't expect that it had been more than a month and he still hadn't recovered, so he came here every day to find fault.

"Forget it, and there's something even weirder. This uncle is as if he has lost his memory. He talks upside down, as if his memory doesn't know where to stay. He keeps saying that his son is in middle school. How could he die in University A? He said that our police don't know where to stay. If you act recklessly and responsibly, you will sue us or something."

Zhou Nan looked at the men in the room who were about to fight because of a disagreement, as well as the looks on the faces of his colleagues, and touched his chin, which was a bit interesting.

He Zhiqiang, male, 48 years old, unemployed.His wife, Zhu Yu, is divorced. He has a 23-year-old son, He Ming, who is a third-year student in the Business Department of University A. He was raised by He Zhiqiang. He committed suicide by jumping into a lake in University A three months ago.

Zhou Nan stood outside the auditorium of University A holding the materials.
