QUESTIONS AND SOLUTIONS GUARANTEE A+
✔✔How is the myth that Alcohol makes you happy untrue? - ✔✔Alcohol is actually a
depressant.
When a person consumes moderate amounts of alcohol slowly, the alcohol produces a
mild "up" feeling-or a "good buzz."
There is a point when drinking more alcohol leads to more negative feelings - like
fatigue and nausea.
If you are sad or angry before you drink, the alcohol may initially put you in a better
mood. But then the opposite can occur, and you may well end up even sadder or
angrier than you were before you started.
✔✔How is the myth that Mixing drinks causes higher levels of intoxication untrue? -
✔✔Mixing drinks does not cause greater intoxication. It does increase your chances of
a hangover, though, and may make you feel sick.
✔✔How is the myth that Alcohol warms the body untrue? - ✔✔The opposite is true.
Alcohol opens up the pores of the skin, allowing perspiration to increase, which lowers
body temperature and cools the body.
✔✔How is the myth that Alcohol relieves stress untrue? - ✔✔Alcohol may seem to
relieve stress in the short term; however, it does not treat the underlying cause of
stress. Indeed, the use of alcohol can lead to increased anxiety, which in turn may lead
to the use of alcohol as self-medication and potential alcohol dependency.
✔✔How is the myth that Alcohol improves coordination untrue? - ✔✔Some people will
try to tell you they are better at darts after a few drinks. In fact, the motor functions that
control coordination are affected by alcohol immediately.
✔✔How is the myth that Alcohol helps you sleep
untrue? - ✔✔Alcohol can help you fall asleep, but once the alcohol levels are reduced
by the passage of time, normal sleeping patterns are disrupted. This is why heavy
drinkers feel tired in the morning. Alcohol can also cause insomnia and aggravate
existing sleep problems.
✔✔How is the myth that Drinking coffee will sober you up untrue? - ✔✔There is only
one way to sober up: time. Cold showers, drinking coffee and dancing will not sober an
intoxicated person up faster.

✔✔What are some behaviours associated with Nausea and sweating? - ✔✔looks
