Give up alcohol - save Life!

      In Russia, from June 29 to July 5, an information week is taking place aimed at reducing mortality from external causes. A key factor increasing the risk of mortality from external causes is alcohol consumption. This refers to antisocial behavior, where a person loses control while under the influence of alcohol. As a result, the risk of accidents, injuries, drownings, and fires increases. However, the danger is not limited to personal tragedy; overestimating one's abilities and the feeling of "the sea is knee-deep" can cost the lives of others as well. For example, a drunk driver experiences a significant decrease in reaction speed, the brain processes information with a delay, it becomes difficult to accurately determine the speed of other vehicles and the distance to them, coordination worsens, making it easy to miss a road sign, a traffic light signal, or the sudden appearance of a pedestrian. In such situations, a car becomes a deadly weapon for the driver, passengers, and other road users. Ethanol in alcohol disrupts the balance of neurotransmitters, disabling natural restraint mechanisms. Any words and addresses from surrounding people can be perceived as a direct threat or provocation. Against this background, actions become impulsive, and a person is unable to stop or assess the degree of danger of their behavior. Participation in fights, inflicting injuries on oneself or others poses a threat to health and life. In a state of severe intoxication and anger, the risk of serious accidents sharply increases. And most importantly! Rarely does an "alcohol adventure" end well; usually, the finale is tragic, and troubles could have been avoided! For this, it is enough to think while sober... and timely refuse alcohol.
