Office Hours: Effects of Alcohol on the Human Body

Guest: Kevin Strang, faculty associate in physiology

[@BigWill2k]

I quit too. I'd say there is no point wasting energy worrying about it, your potential will not get any greater later on in life than it is right now.

[@PeterGriffin0012]

Plot twist, there's alcohol in those cups

[@victoriaoshea4865]

Very informative video. I wish everybody would watch this!

[@EvanLevow]

The effects of alcohol are well documented. Impairment begins with the first drink, and increases with each drink thereafter. As mentioned in the video, a person's emotions may be affected in different ways and with varying doses of alcohol.

[@michaelcafaro4022]

People hate to hear bad things about their bad habits. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that alcohol makes you look and feel like shit over time. If it was healthy you wouldn't get a distorted pocked marked red nose and a beach ball belly. If bars were serving shots of wheatgrass you would see people leaving them with clear beautiful skin, but you don't.

[@opieutt9038]

Lol, it shows the actual immaturity of teenagers even more when they say "It makes us want it more if it's forbidden".

[@samjose751]

If I could go back and do it all over again, I would not have hit alcohol nearly so hard. My first 24 hr hangover was hell. Being 15 is so brainless in terms of sobriety, but taking the pain as encouragement is a trap.

[@faithwoborders1086]

I am pretty sure that is the number 1 drug they are drinking. lol Hipporcrates, a westeren medicine pioneer, stated “Leave your drugs in the chemist's pot if you can heal the patient with food" and "Food is medicine".

[@zackmallows4675]

This shud be shown in every school in the world not just hid away on u tube and shown to all the greedy Government

[@shazr]

Good discussion. The four dislikes are obviously from Alcoholics.

[@SuzyBriseno]

Very informative, well done video.

[@bedwindowfancloset]

great video!!

[@LaroderickWilson]

Processed sugar is the no.1 drug

[@coreytheisen6948]

7 beers that like one bottle of red wine. Beer has half the alochol of wine

[@mb6194]

Excellent video 👌

[@kerchowthedrummer]

More science please!

[@199alexman]

i need the pdf of what ever they talked about so i can use it in my essay.

[@erwinrogers9470]

Great information 🔥

[@kevirish37]

I started drinking at 13, working at 16, and got an advanced diploma in an Asian language at 38.

[@pauljordan4452]

What language?

[@Adrian-yi8fl]

Aso

[@michaelgras2833]

To detect alcohol it's the horizontal gaze and nystagmus for other controlled substances its vertical gaze and nystagmus.

[@emh8861]

Wat

[@MadMAn12gauge]

@residentevilgoddess well theoretically leagel age should be 25...thats when the brain is finished developing... you can do irreversable damage if dont metabolize the proper dose per hour

[@joshuamiller75]

If you metabolised the proper dose per hour you wouldn't become intoxicated.

[@ChrisBrideauMedia]

Interesting.

[@MelodoomMusic]

Don't hic! do hic! drugs hic!

[@OKxMaliboo]

I disagree from your opinion about alcohol as far as pointlessness. If you watched the video, then you would agree that there are positive attributes to ingesting the substance. Quite possibly the negative side to this argument that you promote is that in your experience you have exceeded the dose. In that case, it does contribute to terrible side affects socially, mentally and to your health. However, I've been in your shoes and I know how you feel. DUI's suck, but its not the drugs fault.

[@KitalphasGameVideos]

It depends on how much you drank and for how long. Our brains (bodies) are amazingly resilient.

[@allendixon1466]

How about getting around a bunch of Alcoholics when you're not drinking and look at house rapidly the conversation goes out of hell doesn't make any sense in the drunks are sitting there laughing stupid s*** that's not funny alcohol is only fun if you're an alcoholic cuz she is alcoholics gather alcoholics.

[@pauljordan4452]

@@allendixon1466 Allen, I was at a dinner with a bunch of people in 2012, taking antibiotics so I had to remain sober. I heard a lot of bullshit being spoken!

[@olly_evans]

Any amount is not safe

[@NorthSideBunnies]

sametime

[@TezukaKohei]

Alcohol is pretty destructive but Ketamine is a BEAST...I'd say that Alcohol is on par with many hard drugs in terms of damage but definitely not more so.

[@joshuamiller75]

Scientifically incorrect

[@puesbien]

Ketamine is becoming a therapeutic option for depression

[@alexvalentine5505]

I hate dui class

[@Slarti]

11:00 saying that children build synapses faster than adults is completely unconnected to ability to learn - he is using 'scientific' concepts to pedal ideas which are unproven. Also quoting rat studies with regards to alcohol is meaningless, in case anyone had not noticed humans and not rats drink alcohol.

[@theboyisnotright6312]

Not sure about rats but I've seen diary cows seek out the fermented silage so they can get drunk. They will eat the basically rotten stuff over fresh feed. Pretty sure getting high is universal. I've had 3 cats, 2 of them loved catnip, the 3rd did it once and after would runaway when I put it out. I was intrigued by the one who didn't like it.

[@beeech1080]

Actually building synapses faster is connected to learning because that is where learning occurs according to today's science. There's lots of studies now. Also using rats doesn't 100 percent prove anything sure, but it can give us a good idea. Lots of evidence has shown that the rats brain is similar to the human brain. Also, at 2years old you actually had more synapsis and that's why children learn so much faster than adults. Children learn how to walk faster than some adults can relearn how to walk. So, it's actually pretty connected.

[@t.g.5797]

Its better just not start Haveing one or two be bteer off! At the end!

Should there be a heroine age?

drink responsibly folks

[@juleerowley9706]

It's more dangerous than smoking

[@PeterGriffin0012]

Fake news

[@BlueRain508]

As someone who has done both, alcohol was destroying my health wayyy quicker. He's right.

[@emh8861]

Definitely

[@ihatecandy01]

so thats what was really happening to me last night! omg lol it didnt feel like dat lol

[@vincentkeller4725]

Quit talking like dat!

[@emh8861]

Who dat

[@trenton910]

You lost me when you put caffeine in the same category as alcohol. I have not had any family members die from caffeine

[@beeech1080]

It's still an addictive substance. Did you watch it? He follows it up by saying there's lots of grey areas about the definition of a drug

[@opieutt9038]

Anything that artificially bangs away at the brain's pleasure center needs to be used cautiously. Sugar is as bad as nicotine in mho.

[@TheSeeker008]

I took 3 types of drugs today: coffee, cigarettes and alcohol

[@lendrury2771]

Did you smoke crack

[@Spearsyra]

Im watching this drunk.

[@steelcash]

So on average it happens once every two hours or so. The hypocrisy of it is insane. Alcohol is advertised like it's a health food. People drink and it's socially acceptable. But you have to hide when you want to smoke weed. Do the research. I have. I've done hundreds of hours of research. Smoking is healthier, safer, smarter, and cheaper. The high is lightyears better and more fun. Put down the bottle and pick up the pipe. You'll be glad you did. Peace.

[@majesticcamels4198]

Take this guys advice if you want your iq to half.

[@theboyisnotright6312]

I agree mostly. But from years of smoking pot I do know it makes you stupider. Pot is better for your body then booze but please don't say it's benign. Not dumb as a rock stupider, but a little slower mentally. And at least in my case this is dose related. Once or twice a week no problem normally. Until I took college physics. When I gave up all weed I picked it up much quicker. But then, at least for me, physics took about all my brain to comprehend. Just my experience.
