 What is It

Alcohol is a colorless, bitter-tasting substance

that humans are consuming since the past. It comes
from plants that underwent fermentation.
Fermentation is the process of extracting alcohol from
a plant or a fruit. An example of fermented alcohol
maybe a beer. A beer is extracted from grains. On the
other hand, wines are from grapes and other fruits.
There are three sorts of alcohol: isopropyl, methanol
and ethanol. When humans consume these in
unregulated amounts, it's going to result in intoxication and alteration of the
central nervous system. However, few people know that an excessive amount of
alcohol consumption could lead on to wreck to the body systems.

Technically, not all kinds of alcohol are often consumed. Only ethanol
which is additionally called beverage alcohol is often consumed. Other sorts of
alcohol, like methanol and isopropyl can cause extreme damage to the
bloodstream and even death may occur. Alcohol intake is often measured through
the Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC). It’s counted in percentages of ethanol
present during a person’s bloodstream at a particular period.

When alcohol enters the bloodstream, it goes altogether to the parts of the
body. The most effect of alcohol drinking reflects on a person’s Central Nervous
System (CNS). The CNS controls one’s mental processes, memory, speech,
learning and decision-making. It also affects a person’s senses, feelings,
movement and breathing.

The amount of alcohol that entered the bloodstream at a particular period

is often measured in percentages through Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) or
most frequently called Blood Alcohol Level (BAL). A BAC of 0.05 percent means
that there are 5 parts of alcohol per 10,000 parts of blood within the body. A 0.3-
0.5 percent BAC could lead on to coma, brain damages and even death.
