THE PROBLEM OF THE STUDY

Introduction

The use of alcoholic drinks poses the major drug problem of the world.
Alcohol is a chemical produced by the action of yeast or sugar and other
carbohydrates products. Mankind early discovered that drinking the fermented
juices of certain fruits, berries, and grains produced an extremely pleasant effect.
Among primitive people, alcoholic drinks increased the excitement of tribal
festivals. In other civilized nation, beers and wines in the daily diet were believed
beneficial to health. Today such beliefs continue, and have received some
measure of scientific support.

Why people drink alcohol? It is not the taste of liquor that makes it
popular. In fact, the flavor of alcoholic beverages is unpleasant. Liquor is popular
because alcohol affects a person’s mood --- it relaxes, gives a “lift,” relieves
tensions. Alcohol is not a stimulant, as many people supposed. The reason a
person feels elated under the influence of alcohol is that the intellectual functions
of his brain are suppressed. With the usual inhibitions removed, he says and
does things that he would ordinarily refrain from. In larger doses alcohol is not
only depressant but also anesthetic, similar to the effects to ether. One reason
alcohol is used in the operating room is that its margin of safety is lower than that
of other anesthetics. Many who drink become so addicted to alcohol that they
can no longer abstain. These are alcoholics. But a person does not have to be
confirmed alcoholic in order to experience some of the terrible consequences of
intoxication. At least one half of highway-accident fatalities are traceable to
someone’s use of alcohol.
 Also, the excessive drinking of alcohol may damage the lungs, kidney and
other organs, the central nervous system becomes depressed, Coordination of
muscles and nerves is diminished, Speech becomes thicker and sense of
balance is impaired, Judgment suffer, and mental change are apparent. The
effects of alcoholism are serious, both mentally and physically and
Hospitalization is desirable in treating the compulsive drinker who wishes to be
cured. Physical Effects are a significant part of alcoholism, and treatment
includes both medical and psychological care. The influence of the endocrine
glands, hormones, metabolism, and diet on alcoholism is being investigated.

The mere fact that the intake of alcohol had increased and more young
people are hooked to drinking alcoholic beverages. The researcher were warned
for the risk affected by alcohol as alcoholism becomes a problem of all ages.

For this reason the result of the study will give the researcher further
knowledge or information that I could share with friends, family, and every
individual that I will meet in the future who are on the same situation and need
some advice. So it is hoped that the gathered will serve as guide to the different
sectors in coping up with chronic alcoholism education and prevention programs.

Statement of the problems:

The study deals with Alcoholism

More specifically,it tries to answer the following question:

1. What is Alcoholism?

2. What are the signs of Alcoholism?

3. Why do people drink alcohol?

 4. What are the harmful effect of excessive drinking of alcohol on

individual health, on the family and on the society?

5. What are treatment of alcoholism?

Significance of the study

The result of the study would significant to the following groups of people:

The youth, this may serve as guiding principle of more healthy and
healthful efforts directed at reducing risk for disease, and to encourage attitude
toward alcohol use.

For the community, this will present alcoholism as the major problems in
the society; for people to be more aware of the dangers alcoholism and of the
possibility of irreparable damage to health.

The government officials may analyze what they have done to protect and
promote the right to health of the people and to instill health consciousness
among them all. They shall give priority to the enactment of measure the act.

Parents as primary agents in guiding their children a may serve as good

role models to them and keep their communication network going on so that they
can keep up with changing situations and problems. And to teach the importance
of morality to make youths become better individuals should discuss with their
students --- their effects, their hazards and the treachery of the influences that
encourage them to drink alcohol.
 Students may know the bad effects of drugs in their life and will be aided
to know what will happen to their future if they take drugs instead of
concentrating on their studies

Alcoholic Drinkers, they may know what will happen if they continue
drinking.

Researchers, this study may serve as a starting point for more

comprehensive and in depth study about alcoholism.

Definition of terms

For better understanding, the following terms are defined operationally:

Alcohol. A depressant, that lower the activities of the central nervous

system, It also interferes with thinking, concentrating and movement.

Alcohol abuse. Use of alcoholic beverages to excess, either on individual

occasions ("binge drinking") or as a regular practice. For some individuals-
children or pregnant women, for example-almost any amount of alcohol use may
be legally considered "alcohol abuse," depending on local laws. Heavy alcohol
abuse can cause physical damage and death. ( medical dictionary)

Alcoholic beverages. Are made from grains and fruit and contain ethyl
alcohol, one of the most commonly abused drugs in the world.

Alcohol dependence. Is characterized by ”behavioral and other responses

that always includes a compulsion to take alcohol on a continuous or periodic
basis in order to experience its psychic effects, and sometimes to avoid the
discomfort of its abstinence. (WHO World Health Organization)
 Alcoholic. Person who drink that is so addicted to alcohol that they can
no longer abstain.

Alcoholism. Is defined as a primary, chronic disease with

genetic,psychological and environmental factors influencing its development and
manifestations.

BAC. The measure of alcohol concentration in the bloodstream per

100ml.of blood is called the Blood Alcohol Content,

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter presents studies and literatures which are relevant for better
understanding and substantiation of the areas under investigation.

Foreign Literature

In aiming to know the causes and effect of Alcoholism, the researcher has
gathered foreign literature for further clarification and understanding of the study.

Alcoholism has multiple and conflicting definitions. In common and historic

usage, alcoholism is any condition that results in the continued consumption of
alcoholic beverages, despite health problems and negative social consequences.
Modern medical definitions describe alcoholism as a disease and addiction which
results in a persistent use of alcohol despite negative consequences. In the 19th
and early 20th centuries, alcoholism, also referred to as dipsomania] described a
preoccupation with, or compulsion toward the consumption of, alcohol and/or an
impaired ability to recognize the negative effects of excessive alcohol
consumption.

` According to Almost half (44%) of college students responding to the

survey were binge drinkers, including almost one fifth (19%) of the students who
were frequent binge drinkers. Frequent binge drinkers are more likely to
experience serious health and other consequences of their drinking behavior
than other students. Almost half (47%) of the frequent binge drinkers
experienced five or more different drinking related problems, including injuries
and engaging in unplanned sex, since the beginning of the school year. Most
binge drinkers do not consider themselves to be problem drinkers and have not
sought treatment for an alcohol problem. Binge drinkers create problems for
classmates who are not binge drinkers. Students who are not binge drinkers at
schools with higher binge rates were more likely than students at schools with
lower binge rates to experience problems such as being pushed, hit, or assaulted
or experiencing an unwanted sexual advance. (Wechsler H, Davenport A,
Dowdall GW, Moeykens B, Castillo S. Journal of the American Medical
Association.1994;272:1672-1677

Alcoholic drinks are so readily available and so generally accepted

socially, that many persons start to drink them with hardly a second thought. The
poll conducted in 1958 indicated that 55 percent of adults in the United States
were drinking alcoholic beverages. By 1964 the percentage had increased to 63,
and by 1974, 68 percent. The poll taken in 1974 also indicated that one fourth of
those who drink say that they sometimes “drinking has caused “ trouble in the
family”.

Many terms can applied to a drinker's relationship with alcohol

(Orford1985. Use, misuse, heavy use, abuse, addiction, and dependence are all
common labels used to describe drinking habits, but the actual meaning of these
words can vary greatly depending upon the context in which they are used. Even
within the medical field, the definition can vary between areas of specialization.
Because alcoholism is often used in a derogatory sense in politics and religion,
the meanings of the words surrounding it are often used imprecisely.

Use refers to simple use of a substance. An individual who drinks any alcoholic
beverage is using alcohol. Misuse, problem use, abuse, and heavy use refers to
improper use of alcohol which may cause physical, social, or moral harm to the
drinker.[9]

Moderate Use is defined by The Dietary Guidelines for Americans as no more

than two alcoholic beverages per day for men and no more than one alcoholic
beverage per day for women.
Local Literature

Concepts, views, ideas of local setting and authors are reviewed for the
study.

Alcohol is depressant whose composition is ethanol Ethyl, Methyl. and

Denature. The first category is present in wine and liquor, and the second was
used in paint tinners, varnish and shellane, and the third was a mixture of ethanol
and methanol which is poisonous substance used largely for industrial process.
(Lopez 2002)

The consumption of beverages’ containing alcohol has been practiced in

all parts of the world for thousands of years

Alcoholism is poisoning by alcohol, or the severe result of prolonged and

excessive consumption of alcohol. The alcoholic has a compulsive need for
alcohol and can abstain only with great difficulty or not at all. Usually he is totally
unable to help himself out of the situation. The use of alcohol does not predict the
development of alcoholism. The quantity, frequency and regularity of alcohol
consumption required to develop alcoholism varies greatly from person to
person. In addition, although the biological mechanisms underpinning alcoholism
are uncertain, some risk factors, including social environment, stress, mental
health, genetic predisposition, age, ethnicity and gender have been identified.
(Lopez 2002)

The effects of alcoholism are serious, both mentally and physically. The
compulsive drinker gradually losses his desire for food and may develop
dangerous malnutrition with all its varying symptoms (Imasa 2002).The liver may
become enlarged, the hearth damaged, and other organs affected. The central
nervous system is depressed, and a steady and progressive disintegration of
personality takes place. If alcoholism continues, the person will eventually
develop delirium tremens in which he losses all sense of time, space, and
surroundings and is rocked by terrifying visual hallucination. During this time,
many alcoholics have seriously injured themselves in the efforts to escape from
hallucinations. The condition lasts from three to seven days and requires
emergency treatment. Afterwards the alcoholic will usually revert to his usual
state. Death may result from an attack of delirium tremens if hospitalization and
medical care are not secured.

Research has demonstrated that it is relatively easy to help alcohol

dependent person stop drinking, what is difficulties helping them to prevent a
return to drinking once they have become abstinent. (Abijan et. al.1997)

Treatment of Alcoholic involves not only the correction of Physical

consequences of the excessive alcohol, but also adjustments of psychological
and social stresses that disorganized alcoholic. (Imasa et.al 1997).

METHODOLOGY

In this study, it is a vital to describe how this researcher was being done.
The method and procedure used by the researcher to be able to get the needed
data on prevented in this chapter. The research method used, sources and data
research instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical tool and data are
likewise discussed.

Research methodology:

This study made used and the descriptive evaluative and research. It is
concerned with the condition and relationship that, opinions that are held,
processes that are going on, effect that are evident or trends that one
developing. It is primary concerned with the preset although it and there
conceder past events and influences as they relate to comment conditions.

The statistical method used in this study is the chi-square coefficient and
contingency correlation method. This method is used to determine.

Sources and data:

The data and information used in the development of the study were taken
from technical journals and magazines, book, newspaper, encyclopedias and
handouts about alcoholism.

Statistical treatment and data

The data gathered were analyzed though the use and four statistical
measurements namely frequencies count. Percentage, weighted mean and chi-
square.
 Frequency court refers to the number and times the answer in given
developing by the respondents.

Percentage was taken dividing and each class frequency by the total
number and respondents then multiply by 100. this is used to answer the data
about the profile and the respondents.

Formula:
P = x/n x 100
Where:
P = percentage
X = number and score or answer
N = total number and respondents.
100 = constant number

PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS

Based on the data gathered, the following are hereby presented:

1. A joint committee if the National Council on alcoholism and drug

Dependence (NCADD) and the American society of addiction medicine (ASAM)
has defnedalcoholismas “ a primary, chronic diseases with genetic, psychosocial
and environmental factors influencing its development and manifestation”. The
term “alcoholism” itself is largely been abandoned in formala usage by scientist
and treatment professionals owing to impresition of meaning and the tendency to
equate all “problem drinking” with alcoholism. Current scientific and professional
practice is to use the term” alcohol dependence” in place of “alcoholism” to
designate the most severe of the alcohol use disorders, and to use “alcohol
abuse” and “problem drinking” to designate less severe disorder resulting from
excessive drinking.

2. The following are the Signs of alcoholism:

2.1. He drinks to escape problems or pressure.

2.2. Dringking start in the morning or when a person is alone.

2.3. Dringking become a daily event in large doses.

2.4. His personality changes --- he becomes irritable.

2.5. poor performance in the job/school or athome.

2.6. Alcoholic becomes malnourished.Trembling and hallucination

occur. These are symptoms of Delirium Tremense.

2.7. Cirrhosis or cancer of the liver ---- then death.

3. The Causes of Alcoholism:

Physiological Causes. Physiological and biochemist have

attempted to explore the chemical action of alcohol among
normal individuals and individuals who suffer from alcohol
use disorders, particularly alcohol dependence. Alcohol
dependent individuals develop alternative methabolic
pathway to remove alcohol from the bodies. enable
individuals to eliminate alcohol from their bodies at rates
much higher than

Generic Causes. Parents who drink are likely to have a children

who drink. Children views alcohol drinking as one signs of
adulthood.

Psychological Causes. Some people drink to enable them to do

things they otherwise would hesitate. The drinker is self-
deceived in that he fees strong when he is weak, warm when
he is cold,adequate wen he is failure, and secure in spite of
hisinsecurity. When he deprives of slcohol, he must far from
unpleasant reality which has been made even worse by
alcohol. So he continues to drink.

4. Effects of alcoholism:

4.1 Health effects of excessive drinking of alcohol:

a. The Mouth, strong liquors can irritate the sensitive

membranes of the mouth. Heavy drinkers can
develop cancer in the mouth and throat due to
constantly inflamed membranes.
b. The Stomach, Alcohol increases the flow of
gastric juices in the stomach. A great amount of
acid in the stomach can irritate the stomach lining.
Repeated irritation can cause an open sore of the
stomach called ulcer.
c. The Circulatory Route, As alcohol enters the
circulatory system, it dilates (widens) the blood
vessels. This produces a blush of the skin and an
artificial feeling of warmth, causing the body
temperature to decrease due to heat loss.

0.1% BAC --- Emotions and prohibitions

are relaxed. He becomes more talkative.

0.2% BAC --- Memory is impaired and it

becomes difficult to think clearly.
Emotional behavior cannot be predicted.

0.3% BAC --- The sense organs are

seriously affected when the alcohol
throws the body intocomplete
confuscion. A drunk person experiences
slur speech, double vision,impaired
hearing and difficulty inwalking.

0.4% BAC --- A drunk person with 0.4%

BAC becomes almost unconscious and
the brain barely functions. The body
seems frozen with vomiting or urination.

0.5% BAC --- The brain losses its ability

to control body temperature and the
person slips into a deep coma.
 c. The Kidney, Alcohol affects the pituitary gland
which lies beneath the brain and acts on the
kidneys to produce more urine. Drinking wine
and liquor could stimulate the flow of urine
leading to dehydration the next day after
drinking.

d. The Lungs, Alcohol fume is easily absorbed

through the lungs. The odor of alcohol is
noticeable in the breath.
e. The Liver, Alcohol can interfere with the ability of
liver to break down fats. Fats then accumulate
in the liver and cause a condition known as
fatty liver. High concentration of alcohol in the
liver destroys the normal tissues and replaces
them with non functioning scar tissues.
Cirrhosis means scarring of the liver tissue.

4.2 Effects on Family

a. Some Alcoholic spend most of their time under the

influence of liquor that they neglect their family and friends.

b. In some cases, their actions harm the people closest

to them

c. Pregnant women drinks alcohol can cause harm to

unborn babies.

d. They also risk injury or death to themselves and

other.
 4.3 Effects on Society

a. Alcoholism has extremely destructive social effects. The

consequences of excessive and underage drinking affect virtually all college
campuses, college communities, and college students, whether they choose to
drink or not.

the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking
(Hingson et al., 2005. Academic Problems: About 25 percent of college
students report academic consequences of their drinking including missing class,
falling behind, doing poorly on exams or papers, and receiving lower grades
overall (Engs et al., 1996; Presley et al., 1996a, 1996b; Wechsler et al., 2002).
Health Problems/Suicide Attempts: More than 150,000 students develop an
alcohol-related health problem (Hingson et al., 2002) and between 1.2 and 1.5
percent of students indicate that they tried to commit suicide within the past year
due to drinking or drug use (Presley et al., 1998). Alcohol Abuse and
Dependence: 31 percent of college students met criteria for a diagnosis of
alcohol abuse and 6 percent for a diagnosis of alcohol dependence in the past 12
months, according to questionnaire-based self-reports about their drinking
(Knight et al., 2002). Drunk Driving: 2.1 million students between the ages of 18
and 24 drove under the influence of alcohol last year (Hingson et al., 2002
Vandalism: About 11 percent of college student drinkers report that they have
damaged property while under the influence of alcohol(Wechsler et al., 2002.
Property Damage: More than 25 percent of administrators from schools with
relatively low drinking levels and over 50 percent from schools with high drinking
levels say their campuses have a "moderate" or "major" problem with alcohol-
related property damage (Wechsler et al., 1995. Police Involvement: About 5
percent of 4-year college students are involved with the police or campus
security as a result of their drinking (Wechsler et al., 2002) and an estimated
110,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are arrested for an alcohol-
related violation such as public drunkenness or driving under the influence
(Hingson et al., 2002).

SUMMARYOF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions and

recommendations.

Summary of findings:

1. Alcoholism is any condition that results in the continued

consumption of alcoholic beverages, despite health problems and negative social
consequences. Is defined as a primary, chronic disease with genetic,
psychological and environmental factors influencing its development and
manifestations.

2. The Indications of alcoholism are:

a. A person drinks to escape problems or pressure.

b. Drinking start in the morning or when a person is alone.

c. Drinking become a daily event in large doses.

d. His personality changes --- he becomes irritable.

e. poor performance in the job/school or at home.

f. Alcoholic becomes malnourished. Trembling and

hallucination occur. These are symptoms of Delirium

Tremense.

g. Cirrhosis or cancer of the liver ---- then death.

 3. Various explanations have been offered to account for the fact that
some people who drink become alcoholics while most do not. It can be
Physiological Causes, Generic Causes and Psychological Causes.

4. Alcoholism may result to death, injury, assault, sexual abuse,

unsafe sex, police involvement, health problems, suicide attempts, drunk driving,
vandalism and property damage. Also It may damage the liver, kidney and other
body organs.

5. Excessive drinking of alcohol may affect on individuals health, the

family and the society

Conclusion:

Based on the findings it was concluded that:

1. Not every who drink becomes alcoholic;

2. There is much alcohol use in our country because our society tolerates

the use of alcohol and advertisement of alcoholic;

men and women, successful business executive, highly skilled

mechanics, laborers, housewives as well as homeless intenerant;

4. Alcoholism has extremely destructive social effects, particularly as a

cause of crime.

Recommendation:

With the help of the summary of findings and conclusions, the following
recommendations were presented:
1. The youth, to make a wise decision on whether to drink alcohol or not;

2. The Local government, should conduct and should organized

programs that would prevent the youth from indulging into alcohol
abuse

3. The chairman of the barangays, and community agencies should

coordinate with each other to have a alcoholism education program
campaign.

4. The family being basic unit of the Filipino society shall be primarily
responsible for the education and awareness of the members of the
family on the ill effect of misuse of drinking alcohol and close
monitoring of the family members who maybe susceptible to alcoholi
abuse.

5. Teachers of school should discuss with their students --- their effects,
their hazards and the treachery of the influences that encourage to
drink alcohols.

Professor David Zaridze, who led the international research team, calculated
that alcohol had killed three million Russians since 1987.[6] ( ^ Vodka kills as
many Russians as a war, says report in The Lancet. Times Online. June 27,
