3- History
- The behaviors and attitudes about alcohol use in
India are very complex, contradictory and
convoluted because of the many different
influences in that history. The evolution of
alcohol use patterns in India can be divided into
four broad historical periods (time of written
records), beginning with the Vedic era (ca.
1500-700 BCE). From 700 BCE to 1100 CE,
("Reinterpretation and Synthesis") is the time of
emergence of Buddhism and Jainism, with some new
anti-alcohol doctrines, as well as post-Vedic
developments in the Hindu traditions
4Alcohol
- What is alcohol?
- Alcohol is a clear drink that is made from corn,
barley, grain, rye, or a beverage containing
ethyl. - When a person drinks alcohol, about 20 percent is
absorbed in the stomach, and 80 percent is
absorbed in the small intestine. The
concentration of alcohol, the type of drink, and
whether the stomach is full or empty depends on
how fast the alcohol is absorbed. Once the
alcohol is absorbed into the tissue, it affects
your mind and body. - Blood alcohol concentration can rise up to 20
minutes after having a drink. After alcohol is
absorbed it leaves the body in three ways the
kidneys, lungs, and liver.
5Alcohol
- How is it made? Beer and wine are called
fermented beverages. They are made by adding
yeast to a substance that contains sugar. The
yeast starts the formation process, which turns
sugar into ethyl and carbon dioxide gas. Beer is
made from barley malt. The people who brew the
beer soak the barley in water to make it sprout.
When the barley dries, they take off the sprouts
only leaving starch, or malt. The malt is ground
up and mixed up with water to form mash. This is
put into another mash which contains corn or rice
that has been crushed and heated. The starch from
corn or rice is then changed to sugar. Some dried
flowers are added to the mash to add flavor, then
the mash is fermented. Then the brewers age the
beer for several weeks to add taste in the beer. - Another type of alcoholic beverage
is called a distilled beverage. That is made from
fermented grain mash or fermented juice.
Distilled beverages include drinks such as
whiskey, vodka, liqueurs, gin, rum, and other
beverages.

13How to Quit Alcohol? (Disulfiram)
- Every body knows that Disulfiram is the Molecule
of choice to help addict to quit alcohol. - But there is RED signal to use Disulfiram because
of its severe side effects such as Skin Rash,
Flushing, Swollen, Severe Vomiting, Nausea.
14Kindly Know about Disulfiram
- You will agree that when there is no hope to help
addict only one Molecule available which have
savior side effects. - But when nothing is available only hope is
Disulfiram. - Many claims in powder form with various known or
unknown mixtures of herbal powder form but the
side effects reveals that this contains
Disulfiram. - You will surprise to know the knowledge of many
addicts that if they get skin rash or vomiting
they know that something is given in their food
which causes this effects and then they stop
taking food at home because they simply dont
want to quit alcohol.
15Lets have a fresh look at Side effectss of

- An allergic reaction (swelling of your lips,
tongue, or face shortness of breath closing of
your throat or hives) seizures extreme
tiredness - Dark urine
- Yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice)
- Large appetite changes
- Weakness, dizziness or loss of coordination or
- Severe diarrhea or vomiting.
- Other, less serious side effects may be more
likely to occur. Continue to take Disulfiram.
16Other, less serious side effects with Disulfiram
- .may be more likely to occur. Continue to take
Disulfiram and talk to your doctor if you
experience - Skin rash or acne
- Mild headaches
- Mild drowsiness or tiredness
- Impotence
- Metallic taste in the mouth or
- Swollen or sore tongue.
- Side effects other than those listed here may
also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side
effect that seems unusual or that is especially
bothersome.
17Other, less serious side effects with Disulfiram
- Disulfiram inhibits the metabolism of
acetaldehyde, a breakdown product of alcohol.
Acetaldehyde formation is at least partially
responsible for the reaction. The "disulfiram
reaction" generally occurs within 15 minutes of
ingestion of alcohol and persists as long as
alcohol is present in the system. - In very few cases this is lethal to addicts,
generally when higher dosages are given. Patients
should not receive disulfiram until 12 hours
after any alcohol ingestion. Disulfiram reactions
may occur up to two weeks after disulfiram has
been discontinued. - The ingestion of alcohol in patients pretreated
with disulfiram generally results in an
unpleasant reaction referred to as a "disulfiram
reaction". Elements of this reaction may include
any of the following flushing, throbbing in the
head and neck, headache, nausea, vomiting,
sweating, thirst, chest pain, palpitations,
dyspnea, hyperventilation, tachycardia,
confusion, arrhythmias, and convulsions.
18Disulfiram damages Liver
- Disulfiram-induced hepatitis has been confirmed
by rechallenge in several cases. The development
of hepatitis has been reported to occur within 2
weeks to several months of beginning disulfiram.
Liver biopsy frequently demonstrates fibrosis,
liver cell necrosis, eosinophilic infiltrates,
and portal inflammation. Disulfiram-induced
hepatitis appears to be due to hypersensitivity,
although extrahepatic signs of hypersensitivity
are not always apparent. Baseline liver function
tests should be obtained and monitored
periodically during the first several months of
therapy. In addition, patients should be educated
about the symptoms of hepatitis. Disulfiram
therapy should be discontinued promptly if liver
function deteriorates. - Hepatic side effects have included cases of acute
hepatitis accompanied by fatigue, malaise,
anorexia, nausea, abdominal pain, and jaundice.
Although hepatic function has returned to normal
over several weeks in some patients, liver
failure and death has also been
reported.Subcutaneous deposits of carotene
which simulate jaundice has been reported in a
55-year-old man who presented with yellow palms
of the hands and the sole of the feet within 2
months of the start of disulfiram.
19Disulfiram also causes neurological dmages
- Nervous system side effects have included
lethargy, - confusion,
- personality changes,
- disorientation, and
- memory impairment. These effects may develop
after weeks or months of disulfiram therapy. - This has progressed to seizures (in the absence
of a disulfiram-alcohol reaction), psychosis,
catatonia and encephalopathy.Neuropathy,
generally affecting the lower extremities, occurs
rarely in patients. The upper body extremities
may become involved if neuropathy progresses.
Optic neuritis has also been reported.
Development appears to occur earlier with higher
dosages. Neuropathy generally resolves over
several weeks after discontinuation of
disulfiram, and full recovery may require several
months. - Reports of seizures, psychosis, catatonia, and
encephalopathy usually follow several weeks of
higher doses of disulfiram. The incidence appears
to be lower with decreased maintenance dosages.
Disulfiram is an inhibitor of dopamine-beta-hydrox
ylase which converts dopamine to norepinephrine.
Therefore disulfiram effectively lowers levels of
norepinephrine and increases concentrations of
dopamine which may facilitate encephalopathy and
other adverse effects on the nervous
system.Neuropathy associated with disulfiram is
similar in appearance to that associated with
alcohol abuse.
20Disulfiram also causes neurological damages
- Neuropathy primarily involves axonal degeneration
and affects both sensory and motor nerves. It
appears to develop somewhat faster than
alcohol-induced neuropathy and develops in the
absence of ongoing alcohol use. A metabolite of
disulfiram, carbon disulfide, has been shown to
be neurotoxic and may be involved in the
development of neuropathy. - Neuropathy, generally affecting the lower
extremities, occurs rarely in patients. T - he upper body extremities may become involved if
neuropathy progresses. - Optic neuritis has also been reported.
Development appears to occur earlier with higher
dosages. - Neuropathy generally resolves over several weeks
after discontinuation of disulfiram, and full
recovery may require several months.
21Disulfiram also causes Dermatologic reactions.
Dermatologic Dermatologic side effects have
include maculopapular rashes. Patients with a
sensitivity to tetramethylthiuram disulfide,
present in rubber products, may show
cross-sensitivity to disulfiram.
22Disulfiram also causes Gastro Intestinal Side
effects.
- Gastrointestinal
- Gastrointestinal side effects have included an
unpleasant metallic or garlic-like taste in the
mouth and bad breath.
23DISULFIRAM SIDE EFFECTS
- Ocular (EYE RELATED)
- Ocular side effects have included optic neuritis.
It appears to occur earlier with higher dosages
and generally resolves over several weeks after
discontinuation of disulfiram. Full recovery may
require several months
24This is obvious that whom so ever want to work
for de-adiction from alcohol they need to have a
safer alternative without any side effects.
