This is also a crisis faced by the Britons but is not related with any nasty effect of the global downturn. It is related with the strange habit of drinking and the extensive investigations these days reveal that more and more habitants of Britain, especially of the middle class, are becoming easy preys to its allurement. It may be that you are not aware of this even though you live in Britain. How can the reports of various study groups be denied then? The studies, almost all of them have been done comprehensively, claim that middle aged, professional Britons are more expected to exceed suggested daily levels of alcohol consumption than the working-classes and this disparity between them is increasing steadily. What should be the daily level? According to the advice of the government, the rate of drinking for men should be between three to four units while for women it varies between two to three. Nonetheless there is also a problem. Nowadays the changing reality of the society is also exerting influences on other sectors too. For that reason, these days the amounts of alcoholic drinks have also changed.
There is the trend for larger measures therefore. One large glass of wine now counts as three units, a medium glass as two and a small glass as one-and-a-half. But studies have proved that it is futile to make the Britons comprehend the dangers and many middle class drinkers insist they know what the safe level of alcohol consumption is. It is, therefore, the next of kin’s responsibility to take the decision what to do. Keep in mind, if your hubby or father is addicted to this habit, he may become the victim of negative short term effects of drinking. They are loss of judgment, loss of coordination, blurred vision, slurring of speech, and loss of balance.
You have to inform him of the dangers of excessive alcohol consumption. He will not listen to it and it is quite obvious. You have to take him to the doctor of medicine, if there is any emergency. Have a discussion with a health care professional about the need for medical supervision. Do everything fast since delay can make the matter worse. Drinking too much alcohol can make him experience some extreme negative effects including unconsciousness, coma, and even death.
