Alcohol aka ETOH

admin — Mon, 13 Jul 2009 21:30:47 +0000

Ever wonder what the acronym ETOH stands for? Over the ages people have refereed to alcohol in all kinds of ways. like booze, ethanol, hooch and firewater just to name a few. In the health industry , ETOH stands for alcohol. I got to wondering why this was true. One of the reasons is it is easier to write etoh than alcohol. ETOH actually is an abbreviation for ethanol, the base ingredient of alcoholic beverages. After some research I am still not clear as to the history or idea behind it. It occurred to me that maybe there were times when it was better to disguise the word alcohol from family or people who did not need to know. And maybe it was to give alcohol, which comes in all kinds of shapes and sizes and strengths, a generic term to refer to alcohol in its pure chemical essence. In any case when you see the term ETOH you can be sure they are talking about the kind of alcohol you drink.

Is Drinking Alcohol Smart

Drinking alcohol is considered to be acceptable behavior. Alcohol is considered a standard part of American culture. Consumption is at an all time high. When you look carefully at the cost in lost lives, health, crime and general acts of stupidity, you have to stop and wonder, is it really worth it? What I am suggesting is to ask yourself from time to time is drinking alcohol really making my life better, happier and more exciting, or isn’t it? Do I really need to drink alcohol to be happy?

Low Marks for College Binge Drinking

Speaking from first hand experience I can tell you binge drinking in colleges around this country is alive and well. According to a national study, nearly half of all college students surveyed drank four or five drinks in one sitting within the previous 2 weeks. What this means is the young minds of tomorrow are drunk or hung over most of the time at school. So, instead of studying, students are partying their brains out, literally. Is it any wonder the United States is falling farther and farther behind in the worldwide battle for a better world. Too bad binge drinking isn’t a major subject. If it were, we’d rule the world.
