Alcohol intoxication

Alcohol intoxication (also known as drunkenness or inebriation) is a physiological state (that may also include psychological alterations of consciousness) induced by the ingestion of ethanol (alcohol).

Alcohol intoxication is the result of alcohol entering the bloodstream faster than it can be metabolized by the liver, which breaks down the ethanol into non-intoxicating byproducts. Some effects of alcohol intoxication (such as euphoria and lowered social inhibitions) are central to alcohol's desirability as a beverage and its history as one of the world's most widespread recreational drugs. Despite this widespread use and alcohol's legality in most countries, many medical sources tend to describe any level of alcohol intoxication as a form of poisoning due to ethanol's damaging effects on the body in large doses; some religions consider alcohol intoxication to be a sin while others utilize it in sacrament.

Symptoms of alcohol intoxication include euphoria, flushed skin and decreased social inhibition at lower doses, with larger doses producing progressively severe impairments of balance, muscle coordination (ataxia), and decision-making ability (potentially leading to violent or erratic behavior) as well as nausea or vomiting from alcohol's disruptive effect on the semicircular canals of the inner ear and chemical irritation of the gastric mucosa. Sufficiently high levels of blood-borne alcohol will cause coma and death from the depressive effects of alcohol upon the central nervous system.

Drunk

You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What drunk with any common sense at all
Would mix his beer and gin like that?
You must really want to get it back
Or may I suggest a draft to help you digest
The sugar in that Boone's Farm Wine
Or any other really cheap apple kind
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What kind of drunk with any self-respect at all
Would give up on his friends that way
Would give in to the pressure's sway?
I never asked you to swim
In that soup bowl of contempt
So full of wine and bar mop slop
Spilling on the girls like a bull in a china shop
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
What drunk with any common sense at all
Would mix his beer and gin like that?
You must really want to get it back
Did I ever ask you to swim
In that soup bowl of our contempt?
So full of wine and bar mop slop
Spilling on the girls like a bull in a china shop
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you put it on my tab
You put it on my tab
You drink and drink
You never got a reason
But you take what you should've left
And leave what you should've grabbed
You take what you [Incomprehensible]

Edit Il Giornale 09 Dec 2024
