This may seem harsh, but honestly, we can never solve these problems. The plant diet is most likely to help animals not get killed, right? Well, sadly, even if all of Texas stops eating meat, there are millions of states and countries that will still eat meat. Currently, there are 7.4 billion people living, so even if 10,000 stopped, it would make no difference. For global warming, people may cut down on driving and things like that, but we need certain things that are made in factories, and we need cars and all that stuff. Deforestation? Forget about it. People are very selfish and they want more and more land for themselves and they want to build more establishments. They don't care about animals losing their homes and they don't think about how trees are our oxygen supply and their cutting them down.Cancers and disease is different. Science has made some pretty amazing breakthroughs, but you certainly can't completely rely on it to cure everything. They may be able to decrease our chances of getting those illnesses, but I highly doubt that they can completely cure it.

The Benefits of Being Alcohol Free

Many young people start drinking at young ages; others start later in life. Drinking too much alcohol can lead to alcoholism. Alcoholism is an addiction to the consumption of alcohol or the mental illness and irresistable demeanor towards alcohol dependency.We start drinking because of things such as peer pressure, depression, anxiety, the thought that it’ll make things better, forget things, etc. Little do we know that alcoholism can lead to these very things.

Alcohol dehydrates the skin and reduces its elasticity. Alcohol tends to make a person look older than younger. Alcohol breaks down the protein that connects skin cells and strengthens tissue, also known as collagen. The loss of collagen makes the skin saggy and loose. Alcohol causes body tissue inflammation. This makes the face go red until the alcohol is out of the system. Too many cases of inflammation damages the skin. ALong with making you look old, it ages your body cells. Alcohol wears down the cells in your organs, shortening the lifespan. If the body is too unhealthy to reproduce new cells, the aging process will become apparent. Weight gain is also a factor of drinking alcohol. Many people refer to the large stomachs of alcoholics as “beer bellies”. Weighing too much can affect your heart. Drinking too much can lead to heart disease. Drinking leads to an increase of fat in the bloodstream. Fatty blood slows down the speed of blood as it moves throughout your body, making the heart work harder. If the heart is overworked it can lead to heart failure or other bad conditions. In 2014, there were 19,00 deaths due to alcoholic liver disease. Alcohol poisoning  can lead to liver problems such as hepatitis, cirrhosis, fatty liver syndrome, etc. These can cause both internal and external damage. Alcohol increases your chance of cancer and also the chance of abusing other substances.

Alcohol also triggers delta activity, or a deep sleep that helps with memory and learning restoration. Alcohol also triggers alpha activity, which occurs while you are awake. Alpha activity effects are the exact opposite of those of delta activity- you can’t sleep and you can’t remember things. However, alcohol can bring back traumatic experiences and memories from the past. Alcohol interferes with sleep, learning, memory, and the levels of your depression and anxiety.

When you are intoxicated you can suffer many types of issues such as:

Abnormal balance and coordination

Slurred speech

Throwing up

Drowsiness and black-outs

Along with the issues mentioned before, intoxication can cause mood swings such as:

Short tempers

Violent activity

Closeness to strangers

Inappropriate activity toward others

Impulsiveness

If you do drink you are risking a disorder called Wernicke-Korsakoff Syndrome (WKS). This occurs when the alcohol uses up your body’s natural supply of Vitamin B1. The loss of B1 can lead to confusion and memory loss, along with mood swings and violent behavior.

Blood Alcohol Concentration (BAC) is the mathematical ratio of the percentage of the alcohol in the bloodstream. There are many things that determine BAC: body weight, biological sex, food, and medication; the number of drinks consumed and the time in which they are consumed is a fcator as well.  

One Standard Drink

12 oz beer

7 oz malt liquor

5 oz wine glass

1.5 shot hard liquor

⅓ jigger Everclear

As the BAC increases, so does the impairment level:

Mild impairment- 0.0%-0.05%

Increased impairment- 0.06%-0.15%

Severe impairment- 0.16%-0.30%

Life Threatening- 0.31%- 0.45%

Along with wearing down your body, alcohol wears down your bank account. On average, 4.5 million Americans spend $200 on alcohol per week. If you spend $ 200 a week this means you spend $10,400 dollars a year. Financial issues can cause an individual to start drinking. Issues with the police or government such as Driving Under the Influence fines (DUIs)  cost a lot of money as well.

Alcohol has many negative effects and is very dangerous. If you start drinking, there is a great possibility that you will get addicted. Alcohol takes a great toll on your body. You lose friends. You lose control. Everything as you know it will come to an end. If you need help, don’t turn to alcohol or other dangerous substances. Get help and choose to live. Accepting alcohol into your life, means accepting all the negative consequences it brings with it.

Difference between advantages of nuclear family and joint family?
Dimas [21]

Answer:

The main difference between nuclear family and joint family is that a nuclear family is a small family unit consisting only the parents and their children, while a joint family is a larger family unit consisting the extended family as well.  

Nuclear Family and joint family are two types of families that can be observed in the society around us. A nuclear family has an adult couple and their children. A joint family, on the other hand, extends beyond a joint family as it includes multiple generations living under one roof.
