To grasp alcohol's solubility properties consider this: It easily dissolves in both fat and water. Virtually, anything in alcohol’s interaction will end with them being dissolved. Even, the naked example of water connecting to alcohol would suffice. Alcohol can therefore be considered soluble in both water and fat. So alcohol can be blood soluble, it can be contained in water. This means it can pass through membranes in everything, as everything in the body is either water-based or fat-based. Would such a definition confuse, or tie in the wine analogy? A complete version of alcohol. Both types, water and fat, has widespread contact with alcohol. Last but by no mean least, this insight has decisive medical applications. Alcohol can be absorbed in lungs, intestines and stomach. I.e, it can

Question

Would you care to explain the statement that alcohol is soluble in both water and fats, and why is this relevant?

Answer 1

I am 20 and honestly have never tasted alcohol and have no desire to. And I plan to keep it that way. When people ask me, why do you not want to drink? I reply why would I want to poison myself and especially, my liver. It does so much for me, the least I can do is keep it healthy.

Answer 2

I was never a big drinker, but would do so socially. A few years ago I decided to not do it anymore at all. Fast forward to seeing this video, I couldn’t be happier about the choice I made to not drink. Thank you Andrew for making this, I hope this video changes everyone.

Answer 3

I was a happy drinker until one day the happy high turned into a depression... The change was pronounced and I noticed it because it was not fun and it actually hurt.  Depression hurt, yes it does.  The next time I was drinking it happened again...  That was it for drinking ...  That was 36 years ago and I've never missed drinking, ever... I love being sober so much.

Answer 4

I didn't want to drink.
At around 16 I gave in due to social pressure. [Not illegal in my country]
I hated it. I often "predrank" cheap vine in order to avoid ruining my financal situation at the main event by buying overpriced drinks.
I often puked afterwards.
One time I couldn't sleep, couldn't stand, couldn't walk. In no position the day after I didn't feel terrible.
At age 20 I quit.
For a long time I was the only person I knew that had quit [and not just paused].

Calm down. You are not a unique and beautiful snowflake

The law forbids the SALE of alcohol to minors, but they don't say anything about consumption, if your parents of family let you drink you can drink.

There was this time 30 years ago here in Argentina where 5 year old kids were given red wine with sparkling water, it was very watered down, but it was alcohol!

Also all the pregnant women saying hey I can drink a little and the baby won't have any issues, that should be criminal!

Yeah I got frustrated with a young coworker of mine who's in his mid 20s. He was telling me how his brother turned 21 and wanted him to drink (21 is legal age here) even though his brother wasn't interested and didn't want to. I told him to stop pressuring him to do something not good for him and that maybe his brother is being cautious and doesn't wanna fall into addiction. I told him if he's gonna pressure his brother to do anything is proactive stuff like finishing school or getting his life established. Stuff like that. So sad when people especially family pressures others into things knowing it's not good for them. For a few years now my younger sister has been trying to get me to drink. She had gotten my mom into it for a time but my mom finally got out of it. My stepdad hasn't. My sister knows when I was 12 I liked wine a lot and haven't seriously drank since I was 14. And yet she still keeps pushing it despite what it does to her and my stepdad's health. Btw they both vape too.

law is different here because you definitely can’t give a minor alcohol to consume or you go to jail

As someone who was an alcoholic for years I can tell you that drinking too much alcohol can lead you to waking up next to incredibly large women the next morning.

If you are truly alcoholic, it's because of two things.
1. When you drink alcohol your body physically craves more. It's like an allergy ,This is the one thing all people who are alcoholic share. If you can control your drinking, there's a good chance you're not alcoholic.
Once the body crosses a line of no return, you will always be that way. It's a small percentage of people who drink, 10 percent thereabouts.
The amount you drink doesn't matter. That's not what makes one alcoholic. People can be in different stages of alcoholism.
It's an illness, genetic, not a moral problem or lack of will power.
The smoker analogy is a straw man that doesn't make sense here. That is not an illness, it's a nicotine addiction.
The Doctor's Opinion in the book Alcoholics Anonymous explains it very well.

---

  I'm not about to try and justify to you whether I fit your viewpoint of what an alcoholic is. I had a severe drinking problem, which I considered myself to be an alcoholic. I realized my problem and forced myself (which was very hard) to quit drinking. I feel I'm no longer an alcoholic because alcohol no longer has a hold of me or is a part of my life. AA does not have a monopoly on the definition or the reasoning behind what an alcoholic is. Others' opinions on whether I'm an alcoholic or not do not matter to me.

Answer 8

I'm not an x anything but
Booze is bad recently gave it up and this guy is absolutely correct.
Have a drink every now  and then and regret it . Can't relate to it anymore but most people I know indulge regularly  . It takes me 2 days to feel right after just a couple beers
Give it up and life is joy

Answer 9

I have been on a ketogenic diet for several years, which of course reduced my alcohol consumption to zero. I'd have to write a book how much it changed my life, it improved all aspects of my life. It's like I turned into a superhuman in a few months! My financial situation changed radically and I gained full financial independence, I started traveling the world, I stopped watching TV (by the way, it's another brain-wasting addiction - I think it's an interesting topic to cover on this channel), I started to be interested in completely new topics, my stamina increased several times as well as my energy. Not to mention the sexual energy that has risen to a whole new level. In a word, YES, giving up alcohol is one of the best things we can do for ourselves in this life.

Answer 10

Over 6 months of no alcohol for me

Answer 11

Been trying to stay sober for years. I'm taking different meds for my cravings and anxiety and let me tell you it is still a struggle to stay sober!!! The addiction to alcohol is the worst and the problem is that alcohol is everyone. And people love to socialize with drinks everywhere they go. Please don't let your mind get soaked with booze on a regular basis because that's how your brain will rewire itself and never go back.

Comments

One thing you might want to check out, regarding anxiety, is the breathing method by Wim Hof. He does a live session in the video: "Wim Hof teaches Mikhaila and Jordan Peterson His Breathing Method" here on YouTube which you can follow the instructions he's giving in the video and follow along. The feeling after just one round of it was amazing! Keep at it!

(Sorry for the ironic nickname I have, it has to do with my last name and the musical activities I undertake.

Answer 12

I’m really glad this video told me that drinking lowers my inhibition and affects my brain. I would’ve had no idea otherwise. As far as all the chem talk, it didn’t inform me of anything that matters.

He says that this effect might actually take place in the long term? Great, I think too much as is. Sounds like a win win.

Can’t believe I sat through 9 minutes for that conclusion.

Answer 13

My dad is an alcoholic so my entire childhood was a lesson learned. However, listening to this has made me so happy that my brain has never been interrupted by alcohol.
So, I guess thanks dad.

Answer 14

Thank you for sharing this information! ☺

I would like to add that Alcohol is forbidden in Islam because it is considered an intoxicant, which technically means poison. The Holy Quran in several verses forbids intoxicants because one is not meant to harm oneself in any way or form.

There are verses in the Quran that forbid Muslims to pray under the influence of any intoxicant (4:43). The Quran also says that alcohol contains some good and some evil, but that the evil is greater than the good (2:219). This is meant as a deterrent to make people turn away from its consumption. That said, the Quran clarifies that "intoxicants and games of chance" are "abominations of Satan's handiwork" (Soura 5:90-91). We interpret these verses as forbidding the use of intoxicants such as beer, wine and spirits.

Moreover, the Quranic ban is due not only to alcohol being an intoxicant, but also because it could make devoted Muslims forget their prayers and God. To us, that would be far more harmful than anything.

Answer 15

I have been 6 and a half months sober and without cigarets now. Best choice of my life! It is never too late to stop these bad habbits that slowly destroy you physically and mentally! :)

Answer 16

I grew up around alcoholism which makes me stay away from it I'm gonna break the curse

Shoutout to Joe Rogan for encouraging this man to start a Podcast

Answer 18

I've always struggled with alcohol. Still do. I drink every day. I used to drink liquor. I now rarely do. I have reduced my intake to extremly low-carb beer only. Its a step in the right direction.

Comments

heck yeah just slam it real fast a drop a few bongers

---

I tried for years to reduce and would bounce back to even higher levels of consumption. I used an Audiobook called “ the easy way to stop drinking” by Alan Carr.
It worked for me, it’s great to be on this side of the addiction for 34 months.
Just keep trying, you’ll win!

Answer 19

And here I am…
Hard to say how long alcohol has been consistently affecting my habitual and impulsive behavior, but I’m certainly tired of it.
It’s just not in line with who I want to be.
Decided to quit drinking for a year.

Comments

Decide to be someone that doesn't drink. That mindset change will help way more to avoid the struggle, to not drink.

Answer 20

I stopped drinking in High School, it's sad what this substance has done to my friends.
