Life can be full of stress. Situations arise in everyday living that cause us to experience sadness, anger, fear, anxiety and excitement. Physiologically, stress is defined as anything that challenges the body to function in its usual fashion.
Injury, illness, or exposure to extreme temperatures can cause stress to the body. Grieving, depression, fear and even sexual activity can cause psychological stress.
The human body has developed a complex and extensive process of adapting to harmful or dangerous situations created by stress to keep a physiological balance, a state known as Homeostasis.
When the body experiences stress, or even perceived stress, it mobilizes a variety of physiological and behavioral changes via the nervous and endocrine systems to achieve a goal of maintaining homeostasis and coping with stress.
Many people who experience stressful situations or perceived threats will turn to alcohol to cope with that stress. The problem with that is alcohol itself can cause stress on the body's physiological balance.
Researchers have found that alcohol takes a psychological and physiological toll on the body and may actually compound the effects of stress.
Drinking alcohol may seem to provide some relief - positive feelings and relaxation - in the short term, but as stressful events continue long -term, heavy alcohol consumption can lead to medical and psychological problems and increase the risk of developing alcohol use disorders.
