1. How do you think why people now drink more than 10 - 20 years ago? Over the past 20 years, we did not drink any more, because more nowhere. In order to determine how much people drink, experts calculate the amount of sales of alcoholic beverages per year, including underground production, and the resulting figure is divided by the total number of people in the country. The average Russian drinks 15 liters of alcohol a year (compared to single lethal dose of ethanol is 250 - 400 grams). We drink the most in Europe and probably in the world. In developed countries, the recent trend to reduce alcohol consumption, but not for us. We like to refer to France, but even the French are drinking less than we - 12 liters. In the U.S. and Britain, are also considered drinking countries, the figure is even lower - 8 liters. 15 liters of spirits, we are dying, die every year from alcohol 700 - 800 thousand of our fellow citizens, the population continues to decline. But the saddest thing is that the authorities are indifferent to stick to alcoholic mora in Russia. 2. - Is there a so-called "beer drinking" and what his symptoms (unlike usual)? - Beer - crafty drink. Dependence may develop in 3-4 times faster than the spirits. In addition, the beer contains hops, which has a calming effect. Upon cancellation of the beer there is irritability and sleep disturbance. Number fusels it is ten times higher than their level in vodka. Beer from abuse suffered by many internal organs, especially the heart. Increased risk of cancer of the rectum, esophagus, ovary. In men, testosterone is reduced, leading to impotence. Also they grow breasts, pelvis expands, develops obesity. Beer consumption 3 times increases the risk of visual impairment. Particularly harmful beer does a growing organism, causing early drinking and alcoholism. 3. Why the state prohibits drugs and at the same time allows or even encourages the promotion of alcohol? Question the nail on the head. Alcohol is a potent drug, it is basically no different from that of heroin. And he and the other lead to addiction, misery, degradation and death. The trouble is that the habits we are striking lightly. Our relatives opivayutsya, and we are putting the battery in the wake of bottles. Alcohol advertising is immoral and criminal. Sooner or later it's a disgrace, of course, closed down. Muslims have been wiser to have alcohol - liquid Satan, and the problem is closed. Alcohol - it really is liquid Satan. How many more must die out of our people to understand it at the top and started to move? 4. Is the female from the male alcoholism? For a long time it was thought that female alcoholism is more severe and difficult to treat. My own experience of this view is not confirmed. I think women are no less likely to get rid of harmful passions than men. Women sometimes even more responsibility for anti-alcohol treatment, so I work with them interesting. The result of treatment depends not on the sex of the patient, and how much effort is making people to change their way of life. 5. What is the extent of child and adolescent alcohol abuse? Shameless advertising of beer did the dirty deed. The current generation of children and youth is lost. To see this is enough to go outside. And beer for many of them - passed stage. But children are not to blame, they just victims of our connivance. 6. Are there incurable stage of alcoholism? I would not take on the responsibility to someone to stick the label of "incurable alcoholic" because I often see how it would seem quite gone alcoholic refuses to drink. As long as a person is alive, he was a chance to change their way of life. But the deeper degradation, the less likely. 7. Should I save the alcoholic can be very reasonable to escape from it? The issue is very complex. Try to help the drinker, of course, necessary. You should be aware of the limitations of our ability, not everything in our power. You can put life to rescue the alcoholic and left with nothing. If you are destined to live with an alcoholic, try to defend their right to a normal life, do not let yourself to crush, tear their cycle of codependency. Read my book, you can better understand who is more in need of salvation, you or your drinking relative. 8. You state that in alcoholics has a split personality, but how to conduct a conversation with him when you do not know who you talking to? Split personality in alcoholics only concerns their relationship with alcohol. I select "Narkomanicheskoe I" and "I'm sane." In the confrontation of these forces is the life of many drinkers. In the book, I will illustrate the example of a split personality of Jack London, I myself like the description, so willingly shall read out a place for their patients. They need to understand the nature of this phenomenon. Chat with an alcoholic, who has a split personality, one can and should be. Important to try to convey to him a simple thing that no alcohol it would be better. But what is obvious to you, is not the fact for him. He fears or even believe that life without alcohol will be even worse. Argue with drinkers useless his line to bend more subtle. Much more difficult to talk to the other category of alcoholics who do not have any split personality, and is impenetrable position of "drinking, drink, and I drink it." 9. It is believed that the encoding affects the creativity. What do you think about this? For the vague term "coding" or "code" is actually nothing hidden, except for anti-alcohol suggestion. The procedure itself is harmless, but painful for many patients, as the contents of suggestion "drink - you die!" Weighs on the mind. In such cases, the person is uncomfortable, does not fit well in a sober life, he feels that he has dropped including creativity. In a drunken man is not criticism, banal things he perceives as the original. In fact, alcohol poisoning the brain, which is a graveyard of neurons, nothing essential to create, can not. Five of the six American writers of the Nobel Prize were alcoholics. But such heights in the literature, they have not reached due to alcohol, and in spite of. Just their talent overlaps the negative effects of drinking. 10. Efficiently in our country Alcoholics Anonymous? Movement of "Alcoholics Anonymous" (AA) began in the U.S. in the mid-thirties of the last century as an alternative to conventional treatment, and there it is popular. In Moscow, the first AA group appeared in 1987, now there are about 30 groups, people come to classes of 10-20. This is a drop in the ocean. On our soil is a movement taking root until hard. Many patients will not hear about any AA. However, there are those who find salvation in AA. American experts much discussion in the pages of scientific journals on the effectiveness of AA, opinions often diverge. Many confuse frequent breakdowns and failures of the visiting team. I also can not agree with some of the principles of AA. For example, they consider alcoholism cure, so never recover. Imagine, a person does not drink 20 years or more and still can not get well. The impression is that sometimes they are in the role of sick people and do not want to leave it. Repels many religious, of closed and as a result, some sektopodobnost AA. Moreover, the requirement to attend classes for life creates a new dependence, dependence on the group. With all the disadvantages I have nothing against AA, let develop. AA someone help to find sobriety, and thank God. 11. Your opinion about anti-alcohol injections? It is most common in our treatment. For those who want to live a sober, but needs insurance, and who knows how to keep his word. With doctors and family members is a contract. Swore not to drink year - be kind, look out! Many are involved with the simplicity and accessibility of the method ("pricked and went"). But the hope is that one can be cured prick means greatly err. Prick vozderzhannika renders a person, not a teetotaler. Abstainer does not drink alcohol in their beliefs and vozderzhannik - because you can not. Consciousness is vozderzhannika remains the same, alkogolezavisimym. It as before blindly believed in the miraculous properties of alcohol, and now believes that without alcohol in our lives can not do, and hopes that after long periods of abstinence he will eat wisely, little by little. Therefore, it is often the event of failure. To avoid disruption to change mind on alcohol temperance. To do this, the patient needs to go through the school of sobriety ... 12. There are situations where a person can not give up alcohol (government receptions, diplomatic dinners, business lunches, birthday parties, etc.). Is there a way to drink no getting drunk? They say that if you drink alcohol before a tablespoon of vegetable oil, alcohol is absorbed into the body and the person will remain sober. Maybe you know some other methods? I do not agree with you that in some situations it is impossible to refuse. For me and other non-drinkers of such cases do not exist. Alcoholism - a contagious disease, which are the carriers of "cultural" drinkers. The use of alcohol contrary to my beliefs, so in any situation I do not feel the slightest discomfort from a firm "no." Oil is really slowing down the absorption of alcohol in the stomach, but only slows down and does not insure against intoxication. I have a better way. I advise you to check for yourself. In a time when you will be offered to fill the glass, say that drugs are not used. And say, "I do not use drugs." While baffled others will think, what's what, quickly pour yourself juice. Proceed in the evening and notice how your eyes and glupeyut people who turn. 13. How does the use of alcohol on pregnancy? - Alcohol can affect not only the health of the drinker, but also his offspring. Ethanol - a component of a drink readily crosses the placental barrier and may have a teratogenic effect on the fetus, that is, cause malformations in the unborn child. This is known as fetal alcohol syndrome, we are talking about the question of alcoholic tonic. Thus, the use of any amount of alcohol is strictly contraindicated in pregnancy. Do not take chances! 14. What method of treatment of alcoholism is the most effective? - Short answer to your question is impossible. Treatment options depend on the stage of the disease, concomitant types of pathology. Optimal, in our view, individual comprehensive approach that can select a specialist addiction psychiatrists. 15. How long after drinking alcohol can get behind the wheel of a car? - Factors that influence the rate of alcohol elimination from the body, include the fortress taken alcohol, the amount of drinking, sex, age, physical condition, the degree of filling of the stomach with food and her character, the individual characteristics of the organism, and so on, but the average in the use of soft drinks to 4-5 º strength of up to 0.5 liters can prevent driving after 120 minutes. However, it is better not to risk it.
