and snacks around schools and in low-income areas plagued by obesity, analogous to alcoholism and alcohol regulation.

and alcoholism as well as complications such as liver disease which are all valid concerns. But decades'worth of research shows that moderate alcohol consumption can reduce deaths from most causes particularly heart disease

Fruit flies for example will lay their eggs in more alcoholic fruit (produced by natural fermentation) when parasitic wasps are hanging around said Todd Schlenke an Emory researcher who wasn't involved in the review paper.

People with certain gastrointestinal or renal disorders are more likely to be deficient in magnesium as are alcoholics and the elderly.

or omega-3 fatty acids on average the symptoms of depression have been reduced by about 50 percent said Joseph Hibbeln a psychiatrist at the National Institutes for Alcohol abuse and Alcoholism.

which can be processed further into a sugar or fermented into an alcoholic drink. The nut technically called a drupe holds coconut water

Does Alcoholism Have an Evolutionary Basis? As the child of an alcoholic father Robert Dudley long wondered what caused the destructive allure of alcohol.

Then while working in the Panamanian forest as a biologist Dudley saw monkeys eating ripe fruit

Maybe alcoholism is an evolutionary hangover. Had fruit-eating animals including human ancestors gained an evolutionary advantage by learning to associate the smell and taste of alcohol with ripe fruit?

Despite the concept's name drunkenness is only a small part of the hypothesis. Stories of apparently intoxicated animals may get a lot of attention

#Ancient Nordic Grog Intoxicated the Elite Ancient Scandinavians quaffed an alcoholic mixture of barley honey cranberries herbs

Studies of pollen content in northern European drinking vessels suggested the ancient residents drank honey-based mead and other alcoholic brews.

and drank a milky alcoholic concoction at one of the largest cities in prehistory Teotihuacan in Mexico researchers say.

A number of these paintings may also depict scenes of people drinking a milky alcoholic potion known as pulque

Vodka is a popular alcoholic drink traditionally made from the distillation of fermented potatoes. Beer and tea are consumed also widely.

or broken down in the body is common to many drugs that are taken for a variety of conditions said Gary Murray acting director of the Division of Metabolism and Health Effects at the National Institute on Alcohol abuse and Alcoholism.

Drinking can lead to alcoholic liver disease which can progress to fibrosis of the liver which in turn can potentially lead to liver cancer Murray said.

macrofossil remains of psychoactive plants residues from fermented alcoholic drinks psychoactive alkaloids (chemical compounds) on artifacts and skeletal remains and artistic depictions of psychoactive plants and drinking scenes.

7 Potent Medicinal Plants Alcoholic residues suggest many prehistoric Eurasians drank fruit wines mead beer (from barley

The discovery of alcoholic fermentation appears to date back to about 7000 B c. in China. By 5000 B c. people in the Zagros Mountains of northwestern Iran drank wine instilled with pine resin (for its preservative or medicinal properties.

Many tombs have provided traces of alcoholic drinks and drugs Guerra-Doce said. I think these substances were used to aid in communication with the spirit world.

I think that prior to a large-scale production alcoholic drinks were reserved for special events and they played a similar role as drug plants Guerra-Doce said.

Heavy drinking and alcoholism can result in chronically low magnesium levels and gastrointestinal conditions such as Crohn's disease and celiac disease can also deplete magnesium levels.

People are dying young from cirrhosis of the liver traditionally caused from alcoholism; yet they have consumed never alcohol.

Upon autopsytheir fatty liver disease resembled that of an alcoholic. However the culprit was excess sugar

Cirrhosis is the end stage of liver damage caused by diseases like alcoholism and hepatitis where liver tissue has been replaced largely by scar tissue.

Humans metabolize the ethanol in alcoholic drinks thanks to enzymes called alcohol dehydrogenase 4 or ADH4.

Mmmm I can see a future alcoholic changing the polarity of this device and sneaking a drink without anyone knowing.

#Research provides clues to alcohol addiction vulnerabilitya Wake Forest Baptist Medical center team studying alcohol addiction has new research that might shed light on why some drinkers are more susceptible to addiction than others.

We know that some people are much more vulnerable to alcoholism than others just like some people have a vulnerability to cancer

and Vulnerability to Alcohol addiction project at Wake Forest Baptist said the study protocol was developed by the first author of the paper Karina Abrahao a graduate student visiting from the collaborative lab of Sougza-Formigoni Ph d of the Department

What this suggests for the first time in the alcohol addiction field is that this particular deficit may represent an important brain correlate of vulnerability to alcoholism.

The Translational Studies on Early-Life Stress and Vulnerability to Alcohol addiction project is funded an NIH collaborative grant which supports rodent nonhuman primate

and human studies investigating neurobiological mechanisms associated with vulnerability and resilience to alcohol addiction. Co-authors include:

The research at Cedars-Sinai involves patients with liver disease caused by acute alcoholic hepatitis a group with few therapeutic options.

Liver failure can be caused by trauma such as an accident by viral infections overdosing on drugs--including some over-the-counter pain medications--and from alcohol abuse.

or another alcoholic drink he added. Some people claim that mosquitoes can fly between raindrops.

which actually produce a lot of vibrant and diverse alcoholic spirits including vodka said Timothy W. Stephens a graduate student at the University of North Texas Denton where he

From northwest Denmark circa 1500-1300 BC to the Swedish island of Gotland as late as the first century AD Nordic peoples were imbibing an alcoholic grog
