Drunk in the family becomes a common misfortune for all members. There are many reasons that lead to alcoholism, but usually it is due to a weakening of a person's character or a bad influence. They have been trying to fight the hangover for a long time, but the most important factor in successful healing is the person's sense of wanting to stop drinking.
Who is really considered an alcoholic?
People often begin to think of an alcoholic who is in the public eye. And official medicine has its own data on this score.
The acceptable dosages for a man and a woman are 75 ml and 50 ml of alcohol, respectively. If these stats are not exceeded, intoxication will not occur and the ability to control actions will not be lost. But a person will have a clear definition of an alcoholic when he drinks more than 500 grams several times a week.
But aside from that, there are basic definitions of alcoholism:
- The dose and frequency of drinking is continuously increased;
- In the morning, an obsessive longing is added;
- The need to drink again, due to severe irritation and poor health. The so-called withdrawal symptoms;
- Solve any problems in life or boredom just by drinking alcohol;
- Visible changes in behavior and daily life.
It should be noted that alcohol includes vodka and moonshine, as well as seemingly harmless cocktails, champagne and beer.
Folk method
An herb like St. John's wort is widely known as a remedy against vipers. To do this, you need to measure two cups of water, bring to a boil and pour in five tablespoons of chopped herbs. Soak for half an hour in a water bath and soak in cold water for two weeks morning and evening. After this period, a persistent aversion to alcohol develops.
Baranets is still a little-known remedy, but its effectiveness is quite large. Pour 10 grams of dried twigs with a cup of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. Have the patient drink every two hours until the patient wants to vomit. This remedy has contraindications. Cannot be used by people with heart problems and stomach ulcers. When combined with alcohol, the reception of the decoction causes a strong feeling of dislike even with the smell of vodka.
In addition, the distaste for drinking is provided by a mixture of two bay leaves and half a tablespoon of chopped gentian root. All this needs to be poured with a glass of vodka and, after two weeks of infusion, drink.
There are very radical measures against drunkenness. In the past, to let her husband drink, the wife added live bugs to the wine. After drinking such alcohol, the drinker develops a subconscious aversion to alcohol. This method can be used if the drinker does not want to fight the addiction.
