HOW ALCOHOL CAUSES MENTAL AND MORAL CHANGES

“Claire E ‘of experience of Mr. Fletcher, who has paid much attention to the cases of drunkards, from the views expressed by Mr. Dunn, in his” medical psychology “and comments from me that” There is an analogy between our physical and mental health, since, as the physical part of us, if his power was at its lowest, probably unhealthy influences, the full force, they pass without effect, then, that the psychic () synonymous with morality, part of the brain has its healthy function disturbed and upset by the introduction of a morbid poison like alcohol, the individual wells in such a case in the truck, and being unarmed forces of evil, “powerless against nature free from the morbid influence of alcohol.”

Several people are different from the poison affected. Consumption of alcoholic beverages can affect one or more of the organs of the brain, and as a necessary consequence, the symptoms of functional mental disorders continue in those capacities, as these organisms. If you continue with your indulgence, then, both from an injury or disability, organic food, demonstrations that can be developed earlier in an attack of food poisoning, permanent, and ends in madness or dypso mania. Flourens first be noted that certain pathological agents when introduced into the flow of traffic, tend to first act, and especially in a nerve center of advantage over others in some special elective affinity between these agents and pathological lymph nodes to some. Thus, the arrest of a drunken approach, we see the influence of alcohol on the functions of the cerebellum in the deterioration of the power of muscular coordination.

Some writers on diseases of the mind refers specifically to a form of madness “dypsomania” if a person burn an unquenchable thirst for alcoholic beverages a tendency as decidedly homicidal mania mad or uncontrollable desire to call pyromania, or steal, as kleptomania.

Homicidal mania.

Several trends murderous madness among different individuals are often called into action when the blood flow has been fed poisoned with alcohol. I had a case of a person who, if his brain was so excited he said he felt overwhelming desire to kill someone or hurt, so that’s not sometimes refrain from ‘any action, and stimulants had to give up, because in a moment of bad luck, he might commit. Townley, who put the girl of his love, for which he was convicted in a psychiatric institution for life in prison and poisons the brain with brandy and soda eruption killed just begun. Brandy has suggested the effect of certain parts of the brain that has such power to submit to his will, and ran to him for carrying out an appalling act against both their best and their will.

As for arson, a few years ago I met a man working on a people who had every time I have a glass or two of beer at the bar, laughing with joy at the idea of men take some batteries. However, if his brain by poison, was a quiet free, more people could be eliminated. Unfortunately, she was addicted to habits of intoxication, and one night fired stirring alcoholic cell belonging to his employer, for which he was sentenced to years in prison, enthusiastic, fifteen, when the brain is not new alcoholic.

Kleptomania.

Then you give an example of kleptomania. I knew that years ago, very intelligent, hard working and talented young woman who told me that he drank, could not resist the temptation to steal all that way to him, but those feelings never disturbed d other occasions. One afternoon, after his colleagues in the drink, his will, unfortunately, and has been inspected before the house, where he was a few valuable items, for which he is charged, then worked sentenced to a prison term. When the question was lucky enough to be made between the inhabitants of a good heart, commonly known as a teetotaler, and for reasons of conscience, he signed the undertaking, there are now more than twenty years. From then until now he has never felt the desire to take to drink as often dominant in his day, what they are not attacked. Moreover, the earth might not excuse him back now than any liquid, causing the alcohol, feeling that was under his influence, he said to his victims. It has an influential position in the city where he lives.

I met some ladies of good position in society, which could not resist after a meal or a dinner, and after a few glasses of wine, the temptation to take home, not just a separate article, which provides the opportunity and that, in their sober moments, have returned, as if taken by mistake. We have many cases returned in our police reports of gentlemen of position, under the influence of alcohol, theft of small items, then to their owners by their friends, which can be explained psychologically that the will had not the time to complete by the subtle dominating influence of alcohol.

The loss of mental clarity.

Alcohol, when taken in small or large doses, immediately disturbs the natural functions of the mind and body, is now recognized by most major physiologists. Dr. Brinton says: “Be careful, as far as the precision of design and the refinement of the senses by the action of alcohol, in contrast, since all the efforts of each by taking a lot of incompatible Moderate fermented liquid. In fact, almost no one Calls for skill and precision as possible to the body and mind, or a balanced perception of the many forces that require to comply with this rule does not demonstrate commitment. The mathematician of the players, the metaphysical, a billiard player, author, artist, doctor who, if they could properly analyze their experiences, usually with the claim that a drink is usually enough to do so to vote ie, the outer edge of the mind and body, and reduce their ability to look at something, but the completion of their work.

A train was due to negligence on the main stations in London, running in another train, killed by the collision, six or seven people and many more were injured. The evidence during the investigation revealed that the post had to be sober, had only two glasses of beer with a friend in a previous season. But the psychological reasons were the two glasses of beer probably crucial for the adoption by the Board of his perceptions and prudence, and producing a carelessness or boldness of action was not in the moderate cooling effect came from alcoholic drinks. Many people were, they gave the same, even after drinking a glass of beer or wine, already done and could not be trusted in the matter after taking this ship.

Memory disorders.

Memory impairment is one of the first symptoms of alcohol.

“That,” said Dr. Richardson, extending “even to the forgetting of the common things, the names of people close to the time when the functions of daily life. Surprisingly, too, he added:” This failure, at the age age of second childhood and mere oblivion, you point out, does not extend to things in the past, but is limited to events that pass the. old memories in the memory retains its power to lead, requires new forms of life is constant.

This failure of memory of Nature is a solemn warning that imminent danger is near. Good for the drinker, if you notice the warning. Do not do it, the symptoms of a serious, possibly, their own development, b
ecause the brain is getting worse, end, perhaps in permanent insanity.

Mental Illness and morality.

Mental and moral diseases which too often follows the regular consumption of alcohol, we have a record of pain in the reports of asylum in the testimony of doctors and our daily observation and experience. They are so big and diverse, and constantly push our attention that most surprising is that people respond not afraid of the terrible risk, even in so-called moderate consumption of alcoholic beverages involved.

In 1872 a committee of the House of Commons, appointed “to consider the best plan for the control and management of heavy drinkers, he asked some of the greatest doctors in the UK in response to the testimony of a large number of questions on all topics unaffordable for research, the pathology of drunkenness on the practical application of the laws. In this testimony was much more about the effect of alcoholic stimulation on mental health and morality. A physician, Dr. James Brown Crichton, that the experience of ten years paid, superintendent of the mental institutions, special attention to the relations of habitual drunkenness is crazy, after careful consideration of five hundred cases, testified that alcohol taken in high doses for various forms of mental illness, the products he mentioned four classes: 1 Potu mania can be fatal or alcoholic mania 2. The mania of suspicion. 3 Chronic alcoholism, characterized by a lack of memory and the ability to view, with partial paralysis, usually 4. Dypsomania or an overwhelming desire to alcoholic stimulants, often paroxysmal and permanent responsibility with periodic exacerbations, if the desire is completely out of control. In this latter form of the disease, said: “This is always given with a disability, intelligence, and affections and powers of the company are connected.”

Dr. Alexander Peddie, a physician in practice thirty-seven of Edinburgh, gave in his statement, many striking examples of moral corruption must continue to drink.

The relationship between madness and drunkenness.

Dr. John Nugent said that his experience of twenty-six years, led by lunatics, led him to believe that there is a very close relationship between the results of alcohol abuse and insanity. Irish population has declined, he said, two million in twenty-five years ago, but it was a very crazy than before. He attributed this in large measure, to drink in the pleasure.

Dr. Arthur Mitchell, Commissioner of the folly of Scotland said that the excessive consumption of alcohol causes a lot of madness, crime and poverty in this country. For some men, he said, habitual drinking leads to other diseases, madness, because the effect is always tilted in the direction, but the truth is that there are many cases where there is a net tendency to madness, the consumption of terrible But for drinking, binge drinking in healthy people to determine the folly of those who in all cases, the stomach. Children of alcoholics, has also said that an idiot greater proportion than other children, and a greater proportion will have acquired drinker, but also a greater responsibility for the most common form of dementia.

Winslow Forbes believed that the drinkers normal structure of the entire nervous system, particularly in the brain is poisoned by alcohol. All mental symptoms that accompany the common poisoning, he said, the result of the toxic effects of alcohol on the brain. And “the brain is usually. In a temporary state of intoxication, the brain in an abnormal state of nutrition and whether this practice has over the years is maintained, is the nerve tissue was soaked in alcohol, and environmental changes in the nerve tissue brain, causing madness and terrible chronic anxiety, which we last in an asylum, which can only be explained by the habits of rush events. A large part of the terrible mental and brain disorders, until the drunkenness of their parents.

Dr. DG Dodge, late of New York Drunk job seekers, with whom. Dr. Joseph Parrish, told the committee of the House of Commons, said in one of their answers: “With the excessive use of alcohol and musculoskeletal disorders are still functional, and not the body will be more affected, which may be affected brain. This is presented in the intoxication of a weakened spirit, weakness of the mental faculties, a partial or complete loss of self-esteem and leaving the power of self-control that is always in total, the victim would like to thank you and depraved and morbid appetite, thank you not powerless, their help efforts to cure the disease that kills. “He added:” I believe there is a similarity between noise and a great folly.

“I firmly believe that the first took place in the family disease more visible than her twin sister, madness, and not, in my opinion, the days long ago when the disease is considered as the first successful treatment of these, and more Success is also more possibilities and limits of human control, which can wisely exercised and scientifically administered to prevent curable drunk on the edge of the incurable insanity as possible. ”

General deterioration of the faculties.

Dr. Richardson, spoke of the effect of alcohol on the mind, given the sorry state of their degradation following:

“The analysis of the induced state of mind, and obtained by the use of alcohol a day than drink, shows a unique sequence of the facts. The event is not completely indicative of the imposition of a ground power in a useful or satisfactory direction. I still never a case where the demand for alcohol was done. On the contrary, repeatedly confirmed alcoholics say that a particular work that requires thinking and drinking devote attention to some of the common to keep a cool head for hard work .

“Moreover, experience with an overwhelming majority for the monitoring of the use of which is sold by” alcohol is intellects “make weak men and women easy prey for bad people and strong, and directs and women are increasingly at all levels of misery and vice. If yes, alcohol is the right, under the mental health do not collect and excite? excites and elevates those animal, organic, emotional centers to remember that in the dual nature of man, so many drawbacks and against the weakening nature of pure reason and abstract, the man lifted up from the lower animals, and exercised the right, slightly smaller than the angels.

Excites the worst passions of man.

Exciting this policy breaks all the passions, and gives them more or less without a license for a man. What provokes anger, and for this purpose if it keeps the mind restless, irritable and discontented …. And when I subtly all the passions, love, hate, greed, envy, greed and pride, but must demonstrate that the ministers of alcohol on them, which paralyzes the reason for making these passions that fine adjustment of reason, the people on the lower animals places. From beginning to end its influence reason and passions freely subject. The analogies that are physical and mental, perfect. Which versions of the tension of the vessels that supply the body with a loosening of order and precision, and then the heart, the excessive movement and endemic violence solves caused to the reason and passion. In both cases, the heart and mind for some time, harmony, balance. The man always rises closer to the lower animals. Angels slip more and more.

A sad and terrible part.

The destructive effects of alcohol on the human mind present, finally, the saddest of his influence. The aesthetics of the artist can find an angel. All that animal, and animals of the worst kind. Memory irretrievably lost, forgotten or repressed words and word types therefore have no meaning in them. Anger and rage, persistent and mischievous, or remittent and impotent. Fear in all corners of life, distrust in the world, joint pain in despair, hopelessness in the permanent darkness. Surely no Pandemonium poets who ever dreamed coul
d, regardless of what would be if all the drunks in the world, a fatal bullet were brought.
