Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book presents overwhelming evidence against the consumption of alcohol as anything other than a poison, offering facts that counter the common perception of it as a food or a safe, occasional indulgence. The author methodically debunks the notion of "safe" or "moderate" levels of…alcohol intake and demonstrates instead that there is no such thing as harmless alcohol consumption. A historical look at the origins of alcohol production reveals its grim beginnings, arising from decaying plant matter through a process akin to decomposition. The author takes the reader through the chemistry involved in alcohol production, showing how it is this very process of fermentation that is responsible for alcohol's toxicity. The author discusses how alcohol's deceptively attractive effects are temporary and superficial, ultimately depleting the body's resources and leading to a host of health issues. The author refutes the commonly held belief that alcohol is a stimulant, demonstrating instead its depressant effects on the body and especially the brain. Alcohol's negative impact extends far beyond the individual consumer, damaging families and resulting in the loss of productivity at work and increased rates of hospitalization. With alarming statistics, the author shows how alcohol abuse is a major contributor to crime, poverty, and homelessness. Despite the desperate need to address the global alcohol problem, current legislation and social attitudes toward alcohol consumption are woefully inadequate. This book calls for a re-examination of these policies to restrict the availability of alcohol and provide the necessary support for those struggling with alcoholism. The author concludes by affirming that total abstinence is the only effective approach to protect individuals and society as a whole from the devastating effects of alcohol.
