A. Hi dear...I think we all know, even the youngest person on this site knows, there are no GOOD things that come from smoking or alcohol. They are both addicting drugs that people do to appease themselves. Think about it. Alcohol plus smoking are stimulants. A stimulant acts on the body by constricting the blood vessels. Caffeine too. Constricting means to make smaller. He has a valve that is smaller than it should be. No one knows what causes this but hereditary plays an important part. Anyway, since it is naturally smaller, then one goes and drinks or smokes, the entire aortic artery itself gets smaller, along with the other arteries of the body. Take a hose.

A. Alcahol acts as a disinfectant... that's why it burns. It's killing all the bacteria in your mouth. Alcahol free uses a different agent for disinfecting your mouth that's probably less reliable than Alcahol. I'd just go with original listerine, unless the burn is a little too much. After a few days, it dosent hurt very much because the days of using it have acted like napalm against bacteria. Wait a minute... you can get DRUNK?!? Oh, hang on a sec... NO SH|T.

How can you drink alcohol and be against drugs without being a hypocrite?
Q. Seriously? The same people that support drug prohibition usually have no problem picking up an alcoholic beverage. A drug is a drug, alcohol is a drug. To me, you can not use any substance and then have the nerve and turn around and tell people that they can not use another substance because you don't agree with it. Alcohol has one of the, if not the worse withdrawal for people who are addicted. It's sad really, because the intoxication level for alcohol is higher than most illegal drugs. If you don't believe me, you can look it up yourself.

How long does Alcohol take to get out of your system?
Q. It's my weekend. I drink. But I have a drug and alcohol test tommorrow for a new job. (No specific time) Is it safe to get drunk tonight and the alcohol not show up in my urine?
Asked by jdlockhart1979 - Sun Sep 7 12:45:14 2008 - - 12 Answers - 0 Comments

A. If it is an advanced drug and alcohol test, do not consume drugs or alcohol 2 weeks prior to the test. Alcohol is metabolized by your body fairly quickly. That means alcohol itself may not be around but the products of its metabolism are still very evident. Drug metabolites are the elements measured in nearly all drug tests. All drug metabolites may remain in your body at measurable levels for a minimum of 2 weeks, trapped in fat cells around your body. These metabolites are constantly being released in your wastes including sweat, urine, and blood. Conclusion: Do not drink this weekend if you are concerned about losing your new job.

Alcohol abused, of course, is a big problem for the individual and can contribute to hazards for others as well.

How much alcohol do you have to drink to get drunk?
Q. For the average person, how much beer or alcohol does it take for them to officially be drunk? One beer? Two beers? Also I heard that drinking a reasonable amount of beer is healthy for you?
Asked by That Guy - Mon Apr 6 21:16:04 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments

A. 2.5 to 3 beers will make you legally drunk. At this point, you will blow a .08 on a breathalyzer test. But depending on your tolerance, you may need to drink more than that to "feel" drunk. For health benefits: I've read studies that have said 1-2 glasses of wine or 12 ounce beers per night is actually good for you. Two drinks for men. One drink for women. Alcohol is great for heart disease but is not good in large quantities because it can kill brain cells and damage your liver.
