Alcoholism

Alcoholism is an addiction to the consumption of alcoholic liquor or the mental illness and compulsive behavior resulting from alcohol dependency. Some facts are that according to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, almost 80% of high school students have tried alcohol. Alcohol is created when drains,fruits, or vegetables are fermented. When people drink alcohol, its absorbed into their bloodstream. From there it affects the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord), which controls virtually all body functions. Because experts now know that the human brain is still developing during our teens, scientists are researching the effects drinking alcohol can have on the teen brains.

Alcohol is a depressant, which means it slows the function of the central nervous system. Alcohol actually blocks some of the messages trying to get to the brain. This alters a persons perceptions, emotions, movement, vision, and hearing. People who have overused alcohol may stagger, lose their coordination, and slur their speech. When large amounts of alcohol are consumed in a short period of time, alcohol poisoning can result. Some reasons that teens use alcohol and other drugs are:

curiosity
to feel good, reduce stress, and relax
to fit in
to feel older

Raising the Minimum Legal Drinking Age (MLDA). MLDA legislation is intended to reduce alcohol use among those under 21, to prevent traffic deaths, and avoid other negative outcomes.

Class Evaluation

The things I like about the class is how everyone is friendly.Another thing I like is how I get to learn more about how to use a computer. To add on, something else I like is how I get to learn more about how to be a ctr person. The things I did not like about this class is how it sometimes gets less entertaining doing the same things everyday. Another thing is how it is really cold in the class. Some recommendations for improving the class is to put games in the ctr blog but games that we need to use the keys so e could get better at typing. Another recommendation is to put music while we are working on the medical career and student success statement to relax us.
