Drunkenness in the family becomes a common misfortune for all its members. The causes of alcoholism are many, but most often it is the weakness of a person's character or his bad influence. They have long been trying to fight drunkenness, but the most important factor for successful healing is a person's conscious desire to stop drinking.
Who really considers himself an alcoholic
People usually start to think of an alcoholic as drowning in people's eyes. And official medicine has its own facts on this issue.
The permissible dose for men and women is 75 ml and 50 ml of alcohol, respectively. If these indicators are not exceeded, intoxication will not occur and control over actions will not be lost. But a person gets a clear definition of an alcoholic when he drinks more than 500 grams several times a week.
But there are also basic definitions of alcoholism:
- The dose and frequency of alcohol intake are constantly increasing;
- In the morning, an obsessive desire to get drunk is added;
- The need to drink again due to severe irritation and poor health. The so-called withdrawal symptoms;
- Solve any trouble in life or just boredom by drinking alcohol;
- Obvious changes in behavior and everyday life.
It should be noted that alcohol includes vodka and moonlight, as well as seemingly harmless cocktails, champagne and beer.
Folk methods
An herb such as St. John's wort is widely known as a remedy for green snakes. To do this, you need to measure two glasses of water, bring to a boil and pour five tablespoons of chopped herbs. Insist for half an hour in a water bath and take two weeks cold in the morning and evening. After this period develops a persistent aversion to alcohol.
Baranets is still a little known drug, but its effectiveness is quite high. Pour 10 grams of dry twigs with a glass of boiling water and cook for 15 minutes. Give to the patient every two hours until there is a desire to vomit. This drug has contraindications. It cannot be taken by people who have heart problems and stomach ulcers. In combination with alcohol, taking the decoction causes a strong aversion even to the smell of vodka.
Also, aversion to alcohol is provided by a mixture of two bay leaves and half a tablespoon of chopped pet root. All this should be poured with a glass of vodka and after two weeks of infusion to take.
There are many radical measures to combat drunkenness. In the old days, a wife added a living mistake to wine to her drunken husband. After drinking such wine, the drinker develops a subconscious aversion to alcohol. This method can be used if the drinker does not want to fight addiction.
How to use folk remedies

Alcoholism is not only a physiological but also a psychological addiction. And the patient's desire plays an important role here.
Scandals and quarrels in the family will only exacerbate the habit. Because alcohol dependence is often based on psychological problems. Together we must try to find the cause and convince the drinking husband of the need to give up drinking.
Beer alcoholism
Beer addiction is considered even more insidious than vodka addiction. Avid alcoholics start with beer. The insidiousness of this drink is that they do not take beer seriously, considering a few glasses after a hard day to be completely normal. But subsequently, the dependence on drinking beer is no less severe than on vodka.

Wormwood, thyme, St. John's wort, mint, yarrow. You can prepare the broth separately, or you can boil these herbs together and take small doses daily.
Often an infusion of the above herbs is poured into beer to arouse aversion to this drink.
What happens when a person stops drinking
Stopping alcohol intake leads to immediate intoxication of the body. And the severity of intoxication depends on how long and how long a person has consumed alcohol. There is a release of toxic substances in the blood due to the fact that the internal organs begin to cleanse themselves of alcohol poisoning.
Certain symptoms appear:
- General irritability;
- Severe nausea and constant vomiting;
- Digestive system disorders;
- Weakness;
- Chills;
- Sweating;
- Palpitations;
- Involuntary tremors.
If a person can not cope with the violation of well-being after stopping alcohol consumption, it is better to seek medical help. The doctor may prescribe a cleansing course and medication. But everything continues individually. If overeating does not last long and the body is generally healthy, then you can wait for the process of self-cleansing at home.
After some time, the toxins will be removed from the body and there will be significant relief and recovery:
- Blood pressure normalizes, the pulse returns to its natural age norm;
- The headache and dizziness cease to torment;
- A positive mood and taste for life will appear;

- A healthy lifestyle that includes adequate exposure to fresh air;
- Taking drugs to restore the liver;
- Complete food containing vitamins;
- Exercises to tone the whole body;
- A hobby that will replace the appetite for alcohol;
- When treating alcohol dependence, it is important to remember that in this difficult case, the support of family and friends is very important.
It is easy to turn away from a sick person, it is much harder to walk with him all the way to treatment and adaptation.
Once you give up drinking, you should not think that after healing it will be possible to miss a few glasses on holidays. Once a person has become an alcoholic, he will no longer be able to follow the measure so easily and will succumb to this addiction again. You may need to stop drinking forever and you need to be prepared for that.
