The last Swiss Health Survey shows: problematic use of alcohol among adolescents and young adults has increased.
Overall, the population living in Switzerland drink alcohol less frequently than in 2002.
The Swiss Institute for Prevention of Alcohol and Drug Problems (ISPA) has analyzed data on alcohol consumption collected as part of the Swiss Health Survey 2007. An overview.
The Swiss Institute for Prevention of Alcohol and Drug Problems (ISPA) reviewed on behalf of the Federal Office of Public Health data on alcohol consumption collected in the last Swiss Health Survey conducted in 2007. Respondents were aged at least 15 years old and lived in Switzerland. The representative figures show an increase in problem drinking among adolescents and young adults.
Problematic
Answers to questions on alcohol-related problems indicate that 83% of youth aged 15 to 24 have a low-risk drinking or are abstinent. In 1997, they were still 89%. The share of those with alcohol at higher risk, harmful or requiring treatment has increased.
Questions regarding the amount consumed on average per day also show that a higher proportion of adolescents and young adults at high risk. Considering all age groups, it appears that, for women, the situation remained stable between 1997 and 2007. It is encouraging that high-risk consumption of alcohol has generally decreased slightly in men, falling 3.3% in 1997 to 2% in 2007.
Scientific studies show that men are at high risk when they consume on average more than 60 grams of pure alcohol per day, which is at least 5 beers 3 dl. For women, the risk is high as they absorb more than 40 grams of alcohol per day, equivalent to about 4 or more standard drinks. This is the amount usually served in a restaurant (1 3DL beer, a glass of wine, a glass of water spirits correspond to one standard drink, 10 to 12 grams of pure alcohol).

Drink during the week increases the risk of binge drinking
Two Canadian universities, after studying the habits of alcohol consumption than 11,000 Canadians stress the importance of evaluating the absorption frequency of these drinks to know the risk of excessive drinking.
The results show in particular that regular consumption, even moderate, multiplies the risk of abuse.
This Canadian study, on an unprecedented scale, focused on the habits of alcohol intake for 1 year from 11,000 people aged 18 to 76 years. The statistical analysis was an assessment of risks by cutting the amount and regularity of consumption.
The results are troubling, at least for the advocates of moderate and regular consumption. Indeed men from 18 to 24 years who reported boire5 to 7 times a week have seven times more likely to have a consumption per week. This over, defined as five or more drinks on one occasion, is still called "binge drinking" and can lead to addiction and its complications. This risk is further increased PAR4 in men drinking more than 25 years as frequently, and 3.7 above 50. Among women drinking at the same frequency, the risk is multiplied by 3 between 18 and 25, by 2 above.

"The bun Express", a new phenomenon?
Today, "many seek intoxication. Above all, they consume more and more young people. "
This observation, taken by Richard and Elizabeth Colette Maurette, teachers of science and technology in health and social Jules Fil, defines a new phenomenon that affects youth, the "bun express." Moreover, the principal, Jerome Rallo, consider alcohol as a "problem to be taken round the body." His deputy, Maria Teresa and Nurse Monique Roque Dalence encourage the first phase, the observation. The second, the action must quickly intervene.
In the morning, at 8 am when the students return to the institution, it happens that some are not fully awake, because a party that ended late veille.Plusieurs poles must check the status of young . The first is in progress, the second in the infirmary. The students go there voluntarily or are referred by an "adult", whether supervisor, teacher or administration. Outside the institution, the school maintains regular contact with the bus drivers of the General Council, responsible for transporting students, again to build its network. Maria Theresa Roque explained that some of his students are "at risk", it is his duty "to empower parents." Obviously, the discourse is different each time, as appropriate.

The alcohol goes to the brain in less than ten minutes
A new study highlights the damage that can lead to regular alcohol consumption. Damage to the brain, sometimes irreversible.
Drink lots of alcohol and quickly has a real impact on cellulescérébrales.Il does not take much time to cause the numbness of our reflexes. A new study has sought to demonstrate the changes occurring in our brains when we consume alcohol and to identify the response time of our cells.
German researchers have been drinking for men and women an amount of alcohol through a straw 90 cm long, while lying in a scanner for an MRI of the brain.
Only after two glasses of wine
Only five to ten minutes after consuming a quantity of alcohol equivalent to three glasses of beer or two glasses of wine, changes in brain cells occur.
Young people are particularly vulnerable. "Already after two glasses of wine or three glasses of beer, helping fatigue among students was extremely rapid effects in the brain," said Pascale Livens, an emergency physician at CHR Namur.
In addition, more than the amount of alcohol ingested, it is above the rate that matters. "The problem is chronic use." The alcoholic drinks large amounts of alcohol

Alcohol responsible for 25 deaths in the world
Death of 25 in the world, even one in ten in Europe, is a consequence of alcohol consumption, according to studies published Friday in the British journal "The Lancet". Yet more than one in two of the world has ever consumed.
According to a study by Dr. Jürgen Rehm, Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, the average consumption in the world is 6.2 liters of pure alcohol per year, or about the equivalent of a week 12 units (one unit = 10 g of pure alcohol, equivalent to 10 cl 25 cl of wine or beer).
It varies from 21.5 units per week in Europe to 18 units in North America and only 1.3 units in the countries of the Eastern Mediterranean.

The calories in alcohol
A drink, okay, two, hello damage ... And not just for health: the line too, because alcoholic beverages are particularly energy. Explanations and advice.
Energy well hidden ...
Cider, beer, wine, liquor ...: alcoholic beverages are obtained either by fermentation of natural sugars of fruit juice or cereal, or by distillation of these fermented drinks.
All are particularly loaded with alcohol and sugar, so energetic. When you know that 1 g of alcohol = 7 calories and only 1 g carbohydrate = 4 calories, it's saying how the addition energy can quickly climb!
For the alcohol content of a drink, you must have the degree and volume of glass: Quantity of alcohol in grams = (alcohol content 0.8 X X cl volume) / 10. As a wine that at 15 ° and contains 12 g of ethanol per 100 ml.
As for sugar, although it is generally not indicated on the label, it is easily detectable in the taste of the drink: its presence is in fact even more obvious that the product's taste is sweet. Thus, the palm goes to energy drinks that combine spirits with fruit juice and soft drinks are very sweet.

New phenomenon: Binge drinking
Also known under the names "bun Express," "acute alcohol intoxication," or even "Alcohol paroxysmal intermittent ...."
The binge drinking is a mode of consumption that is to absorb a large amount of alcohol in a short period of time, the main objective being to get drunk as quickly as possible ...
What are the origins of this mode of consumption?
The binge drinking comes from the Anglo-Saxon and Scandinavian countries where it is considered a major public health problem, which is probably a perversion of the phenomenon of "happy hours" that allow drinking at half price for a limited time . Paradoxically, it is perhaps a consequence of the principle "drink or drive" when it's your turn not to drive when you drink (a lot).
In England, the government launched 14 October 2006 a national prevention campaign called "Know your limits" (Know your limits). It consists of radio and television spots and posters featuring drunk people who are victims of accidents, violence or rape. The goal is to educate young English on the consequences of inappropriate alcohol consumption by showing the consequences of their vulnerability.
