For a long time, the concept of alcohol was combined only with a drink. But times are changing. And now alcohol has changed its state of aggregation.

Essence

So, alcohol - what is it: a drink or a powder? Recently, it is a liquid or powder product that contains ethanol alcohol in its composition, causes a state of intoxication and forms an addiction. This is a disease with mental and behavioral disorders, which leads to the abuse of alcohol.

Harm

It is generally accepted that the effects of drugs on the human body are many times worse than the effects of alcohol. However, some scientists equate this evil. The explanation is, first of all, that the use of alcoholic beverages to obtain a state of intoxication is considered normal in society. Their influence is usually scary only when there is a severe addiction.

It is precisely for the availability of these drinks in a large assortment (from bitter tinctures to pleasant ones with low alcohol content), tolerant attitude towards their common use, as well as the imperceptible onset of constantneeds to drink them again and are considered dangerous. The generally accepted view of beer as harmless, through addiction to which one cannot get addicted, has led many people to alcoholism.

For the breakdown of alcohol in the body there is a special enzyme. Most of it is detoxified in the liver. Intoxication occurs when the dose of drunk alcohol exceeds the body's ability to instantly detoxify it and the liver needs some time to restore the proper enzymatic reserve.

It has been unambiguously proven that alcohol has an extremely negative effect on the child's body, that such an effect destroys the coordination of mental and mental activity. Considering that these spheres are still going through the stages of their development in a child, they are more vulnerable. It is also contraindicated for those who already have diseases of the heart and blood vessels, liver, pancreas.

To a greater extent, drunk alcohol affects the liver and brain. To a lesser extent, it harms other organs. Liver cells degenerate over time and parenchyma sections are replaced by connective tissue. There are fewer and fewer functioning cells, and the liver can no longer fully perform its functions.

Alcohol abuse leads to various diseases. The myocardium becomes weaker, its contractile function suffers.

Changes the product of the gastric and duodenal mucosa, which are constantly in contact with it. As a result, erosions and ulcers appear on their surface.

Proved to causethe formation and rapid progression of acute pancreatitis is precisely alcohol, that such a substance, whatever its state of aggregation, contributes to damage to the pancreas with serious consequences for life.

Interactions between neurons are disrupted in the brain. The areas of the brain responsible for mental reactions are affected to a greater extent. As a result, behavior and self-criticism are violated.

Benefit

However, the benefits of alcohol still have a place to be. We must immediately make a reservation that it can only be small doses. All the myths that more than a few glasses of wine a week are not harmful are wrong. While the benefits of small doses are confirmed by doctors.

1. The action of alcohol in such cases is to dilate blood vessels, which improves blood circulation. Thus, it reduces the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
2. The product stimulates the flow of bile, reducing the risk of stasis in the bladder and the formation of stones. This improves not only excretion, but also digestion in general.
3. Alcohol contributes to the body's resistance to radiation exposure.

All these positive effects are only possible if consumed up to 50 grams. Adding will have the opposite effect.

Ingredients of powdered alcohol

Today, not everyone knows that there is water-soluble powder alcohol, that such a substance will be more accessible than the generally accepted one and will become another temptation from the green snake. The dry powder isalcohol that has entered into a chemical reaction with cyclodextrins, derivatives of sugars. As a result, at the molecular level, it decapsulates and becomes a powder.

False start dry alcohol

This product is not new at all. It was patented back in 1974 in America.

First talked about him thanks to Lipsmark LLC company in the US. It suddenly announced the launch of Powdered Alcohol, which translates as “powdered alcohol.”

The product was not taken seriously. But the company received a license for the production of a dry drink. However, later the public was outraged, and the production permit was withdrawn. For many years this project lay unclaimed. But in 2015, this company managed to get the long-awaited permit again. Now the release of the first batch is waiting for the summer of 2016. However, some states still remained adamant: they banned the production and sale of this product by local laws.

Before America, the dry green kite has already tried to break into the markets of the Netherlands, Germany, Japan, but under pressure from the public and the police, it was banned.

Dry green kite

So, Palcohol. Under this name, it is planned to produce drinks of 4 types: rum, vodka, two types of cocktails. The powder will be sold in sachets of 29 grams. Making a low-alcohol drink from it is extremely simple. You need to add the substance to a glass of water. Naturally, a higher degree will require more powder and less water.

Producers of dry alcohol positionit as a successful alternative to the traditional drink that people buy at concerts and other mass entertainment events at too high a price. As a result, their right to enjoy and relax is allegedly violated.

But such propaganda caused a storm of indignation again. And it has been changed to advertising a wonderful and easy way to relax for those who like to be active. As a big plus, the opportunity was exhibited not to carry bottles and other containers. He took out dry alcohol, poured it into a glass, diluted it with water, if this is enough, then you can simply seal the bag. You won't have to carry anything heavy with you.

Manufacturers claim that the effect of both dry and regular alcohol on a person is the same. However, studies and experiments confirming this have not been conducted. Therefore, the question of the peculiarities of how alcohol prepared from powder affects the body remains open.

Manufacturers say that using it for sniffing will not work. This is painful and will quickly lead to a severe burn of the nasal mucosa, in addition, in order to achieve at least some effect, you need to sniff for a long time. It's easier to dilute the powder and drink a glass of vodka.

Potential large buyers

Manufacturers also position this powder as an ideal option for travelers who do not have to carry extra cargo.

In addition, hotels and resorts remote from the big civilization will be able to save on roads and transportation of heavy loads of alcoholicdrinks.

Ice cream producers got interested in the idea: why not release an "adult" version of a cold treat. The doctors were not left out. Such a dry antiseptic is not difficult to transport in a first aid kit.

But above all, the problem is that a new temptation has come for the youth. And the benefit from such sales will block all the cries of common sense. One can only guess how alcohol affects the body systems, what consequences will be in a year, three, five years of its wide distribution.
