Say No to Alcohol - Bad Effects of Drinking Alcohal Last updated on 14 Jul‚ 2011 by Editor When I think of alcohol I think of a man with slurred speech‚ staggering from one side to the other‚ than falling down to the ground face forward flat on his face. This is the face of alcohol and what it does to you. That’s why I call it the drunk man’s drink. Drinking alcohol is one of the worst things anyone can do to their health. It causes so many health problems such as vitamin deficiency‚ skin problems

singly bonded to O‚ S‚ or X (F‚ Cl‚ Br‚ or I) are: 1. Alcohols‚ which contain an OH (hydroxyl) group 2. Ethers‚ which have two alkyl groups bonded to an O atom 2 Organic Compounds that Contain Oxygen‚ Halogen‚ or Sulfur 3. Alkyl halides‚ which contain a halogen atom X (X = F‚ Cl‚ Br‚ or I) 4. Thiols‚ which contain a SH (sulfhydryl) group 3 Structure and Properties of Alcohols •Alcohols contain a hydroxyl (OH) group. •Alcohols are classified by the number of C atoms bonded to

"Food choices changed on the days that people drank... and changed in an unhealthier direction for both men and women‚" said Rosalind Breslow‚ a nutritional epidemiologist at the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism and the lead author of the study. She said the new information gives people an opportunity to be more aware of what they’re eating on the days they imbibe. In a previous study‚ Breslow found people who drink more tend to

structure of the alcohol‚ making it either primary (1° )‚ secondary (2° )‚ or tertiary (3° ). The purpose of this experiment is to observe and predict the reactions that take place between all three alcohols and an oxidizing agent‚ as well as to test our theories of how the molecular structure affects the chemical properties of the three isomers of butanol. I predict that the primary‚ secondary and tertiary alcohols will undergo substitution reactions‚ but only primary and secondary alcohols will undergo

colourless organic liquids and ones that are often found at the scenes of crime. The first test carried out was the Lucas test which was used to identify a variety of alcohols following the contribution of a given solution‚ from carrying this out I could then identify that primary and secondary alcohols were present with one tertiary alcohol also being present however despite this given the colourless liquid that formed it is questionable as to whether the first conclusion that it was a positive test

tested to yield results such as 1° (primary)‚ 2° (secondary)‚ 3° (tertiary) alcohols. Tests such as the dichromate test‚ Tollen’s test‚ Lucas test‚ DNPH test and iodoform test would be very useful in determining the type of alcohol that the unknown sample belongs to. In the experiment‚ the unknown sample underwent series of testing to identify what property of alcohol it belonged to and the result was that it was a primary alcohol. It went through the Dichromate reaction‚ Tollen’s reaction and finally

this was when the phrase “when you have a relationship with someone who is addicted‚ you have a relationship with an addiction‚ not a person” was coined by individuals in relationships with alcoholics. Saying that alcohol serves no purpose wouldn’t be telling the entire truth‚ in fact‚ alcohol does have its uses‚ including but not limited to cleaning wounds‚ and disinfecting door handles that are touched by hundreds of people every day. In the 1920’s liquor was the go to disinfectant‚ and sometimes medication

Statistics In 2011‚ the rate of alcohol-impaired driving fatalities per 100‚000 population was 3.2‚ representing a 65% decrease since 1982‚ when record keeping began‚ and 49% since the inception of The Century Council in 1991. What this translates into is‚ for every 100‚000 people in the US in 2011‚ slightly more than three people were killed in a drunk driving fatal crash‚ a rate that has been cut almost in half over the past two decades - down from a rate of 6.3 in 1991. Alcohol-impaired driving fatalities

limited success. Temperance restricted licenses for taverns‚ increased the alcohol tax‚ and restrict the sales of alcohol. In some areas‚ the court imposed fines and prison time to the alcohol sellers and consumers; alcohol was an illegal substance. Temperance designed a campaign to create awareness of alcohol use by distributing pamphlets warning the population of the dangers of alcohol. In addition‚ these pamphlets linked alcohol intake to an immoral living that leads people to hell and poverty. The
