The term “drinking” is often used for the consumption

of alcoholic beverages.

Most cultures throughout history have incorporated wide

variety of "strong drinks" into their meals, celebrations,

ceremonies, and other occasions.

The earliest known evidence of fermented drinks in human

culture dates to 8,000 BC.

The drinking of alcohol has developed into a variety of

well-established drinking cultures around the world.

An alcoholic beverage is a drink and psychoactive

drug containing ethyl alcohol, which is commonly

referred to as ethanol.

Alcoholic beverages are divided into three general

classes for taxation and regulation of production:

Beers, wines (fermented)

Spirits (distilled beverage)

They are legally consumed in most areas around the

world with over 100 countries having laws regulating

their production, sale, and consumption.

Alcohol is widely available, with beer being the third

most popular drink overall in the world, after water and

tea.

Beer styles: In general, a beverage fermented from a

grain mash will be called a beer. Beer is made from barley

or a blend of several grains.

Wine and brandy are usually made from grapes but when

they are made from another kind of fruit, they are

distinguished as fruit wine or fruit brandy. The kind of fruit

must be specified, such as "cherry brandy" or "plum wine.“

Whiskey (or whisky) is made from grain or a blend of

several grains. The type of whiskey (scotch, rye, bourbon,

or corn) is determined by the primary grain.

Vodka: Vodka is distilled from fermented grain. It is highly

distilled so that it will contain less of the flavor of its base

material.

Gin is a similar distillate but it is flavored by juniper berries

and sometimes by other herbs as well.

Cider: In the United States and Canada, cider often means

unfermented apple juice and fermented apple juice is called

hard cider. In the United Kingdom and Australia, cider refers

to the alcoholic beverage.

distilled beverage.

DRINKING PRACTICES

Binge drinking is sometimes defined as drinking alcohol

solely for the purpose of intoxication.

It is quite common for binge drinking to occur in a social

situation, which creates some overlap between social

drinking and binge drinking.

Binge drinking

Smoking alcohol is the inhalation of the vapor of an

alcoholic beverage. The alcohol is vaporized by means of

an air pump or dry ice

Smoking alcohol

The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and

Alcoholism [NIAAA] defines binge drinking as a pattern

of drinking alcohol that brings blood alcohol

concentration to 0.08 grams percent or above.

For the typical adult, this pattern corresponds to

consuming five or more drinks [men], or four or more

drinks [women], in about 2 hours.

Standard drink

A standard drink does not necessarily reflect a

typical serving size.

It is a notional drink that contains a specified

amount of pure alcohol.

What is Social Drinking?

Social drinking is the consumption of alcohol without

reaching the point of being drunk.

It is drinking in a safe, legal, and responsible manner,

allowing you to socialize.

What is Within the Realm of Social Drinking?

Social Drinking and Health

Research shows that some people who drink lightly

(one to two drinks per day) tend to experience certain

health benefits.

However, it is not healthy to "save up" your drinks

and consume them on one occasion.

And a person who is a non-drinker should not start

drinking simply to obtain health benefits.

The Natinal Heaith Services,UK recommends:

Men should not regularly drink more than 3 to 4 units of

alcohol a day.

Women should not regularly drink more than 2 to 3 units of

alcohol a day.

If you've had a heavy drinking session, avoid alcohol for

48 hours.

Many people who see themselves as "social drinkers" are at

risk of developing long-term health conditions because of

the amount they regularly drink.

When someone becomes dependent or addicted to alcohol,

they:

Develop a strong sense of compulsion to drink.

May drink shortly after waking to reduce feelings of alcohol

withdrawal.

Develop a reduced capacity to control how often and how

much they drink.

Organise their lifestyle around drinking.

Continue to drink despite physical or social problems.

Drinking ?

Recreational drug use is the use of a drug with the

intention of creating or enhancing recreational

experience.

Drugs commonly considered capable of recreational

use include alcohol, nicotine, caffeine, and drugs within

the scope of the United Nations Single Convention on

Narcotic Drugs and Convention on Psychotropic

Substances.

The most popular drugs are Caffeine and

theobromine, cannabis, ethanol, tobacco…

Recreational Drug Use

The concept of "responsible drug use" is that a person

can use drugs recreationally or otherwise with reduced or

eliminated risk of negatively affecting other aspects of one's

life or other people's lives.

Advocates of this philosophy point to the many well-

known artists and intellectuals who have used drugs,

experimentally or otherwise, with few detrimental effects on

their lives.

Responsible drug use becomes drug abuse only when

the use of the substance significantly interferes with the

user's daily life.

Responsible Drug Use

and Nagaland and the union territory of Lakshadweep.)
