Binge drinking - consuming an excessive amount of alcohol over a short period - can lead to alcohol poisoning.
Dangers of alcohol poisoning include:. A long-term habit of excessive drinking could also result in serious health complications. These include:. These are the more extreme consequences of alcohol abuse. But even when consumed in moderation, alcohol temporarily alters our normal bodily functions.
One such physiological change that occurs is to our body temperature. We may all recognise the symptoms, but what is actually going on and when can this become dangerous? Your body temperature control, known as thermoregulation, is impacted when you consume alcohol. The alcohol causes unusual thermoregulation activity as it influences the mechanisms your body uses to either warm you up or cool you down.
As you drink alcohol your liver has the job of digesting it. Your liver can only digest so much alcohol at a time and the more you drink the longer it takes for the liver to perform this task. During this time, your liver gives off heat as it works and blood alcohol levels rise. Over this period the alcohol in your system acts as a 'vasodilator'. This means that the alcohol widens and relaxes your blood vessels.
As people who flush red when they drink alcohol know, alcohol increases blood flow to the skin called 'vasodilation'. This warm and toasty feeling can be accompanied with sweating. This is another mechanism of thermoregulation that under regular circumstances is used by the body to lower its temperature through evaporation.
Some people are more susceptible to flushed, red cheeks than others. For example, this trait is more common in those with East Asian descent, due to a genetically determined deficiency of an enzyme which helps the liver break down alcohol. Heatstroke, the third and most serious stage, can lead to shock, organ failure, and death. To protect yourself during hot weather activity, take steps to cool down.
The CDC suggests the following:. Also remember that even moderate drinking--up to one drink per day for women and two for men--can put you at risk during hot weather activity. Your safest bet for summer fun is to stay alcohol-free. The Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation is a force of healing and hope for individuals, families and communities affected by addiction to alcohol and other drugs. As the nation's leading nonprofit provider of comprehensive inpatient and outpatient treatment for adults and youth, the Foundation has 17 locations nationwide and collaborates with an expansive network throughout health care.
With a legacy that began in and includes the founding of the Betty Ford Center, the Foundation today also encompasses a graduate school of addiction studies, a publishing division, an addiction research center, recovery advocacy and thought leadership, professional and medical education programs, school-based prevention resources and a specialized program for children who grow up in families with addiction.
Skin blood flow and chest sweat rate in the alcohol session significantly increased over those in controls 10 min after drinking. Deep body temperature in the alcohol session started to decrease 20 min after the onset of sweating and eventually fell 0.
