Alcohol is broken down into sugar and ether by the liver. Ether is a depressant which gives the intoxicating dizzy feeling from alcohol, while the sugar gives a rush of energy. Prolonged abuse of alcohol can lead to heart, liver and kidney damage as well as permenant brain damage and physical addiction. Withdrawl from severe Alcoholism is potentially fatal and should only be attempted under close medical supervision. Withdrawl symptoms in moderate alcoholics include dizziness, shaking, sweating, nausea and vomiting. Withdrawl in severe cases of alcoholism can include auditory and visual hallucinations, psychotic behavior, coma, and death. Again: WITHDRAWL FROM SEVERE CASES OF ALCOHOLISM IS POTENTIALLY FATAL! If you or someone you know wants to quit drinking because of prolonged and daily use, do so ONLY with proper medical supervision.
