Do you do autopsy's?
See, I hate alcohol. I’m an addict. The “cure” for a hangover has always been more booze, get the good feelings going to block out the bad. My “hangover” is withdrawal and the only thing to fix it is opiates which caused the sickness, OR medications to combat the side effects. Decongestant, anxiety meds, and a anti-histamine to try to knock you out. That’s all that I could really do.
@@keepontruckinoutlawlife1248 I believe he is just an anatomy guy. Not a coroner or whatever the person who does autopsies is called. Just a guess from me. I'm new to this channel.
@@silentracer911 ……You’ll end up with liver cirrhosis if u continue down that path. Please please seek help before it’s too late. Good luck to You!!

Who in the absolute fuck are _YOU_ to give Thomas orders, shouting demands at him??!
Having been a moderate/heavy drinker for 7 years and feeling the effects on my body and some recent health scares, this video is just that much more of a motivator to finally quit, which I'm on day 4. Wish me luck and if you're in a similar situation, prayers to you.
Prayers up for you! You got this!
Look into doing 75Hard
75Hard mental toughness program by Andy frisella
Whenever I stop drinking I lose weight and bloat very fast I’m in a similar situation telling myself tomorrow will be the start of day one
I wish you all the success you need.
I used to work at a liquor store. I had to quit after about 10 months because I just couldn’t sell alcohol to alcoholics anymore. It was so so so sad to see the same people every day, and for some, several times a day. They looked so defeated. I just wanted to give them a hug instead of ringing in their purchase.
You're a good person ❤
What an uplifting comment, props to you for your wonderful empathy and kind heart!! Sending positive vibes and prosperity out to you🙏🏽✨️💯😇
That is also what i sometimes saw i the people that work in the store.
God bless you, as an alcoholic myself I can say I feel shameful buying it.
Yes I couldn’t sell poison to broken individuals anymore I had to quit selling it as well. Congrats 🎉
I’m scared, I’ve abused my body so much and at 28 I feel so unhealthy. I’m two weeks sober and excited to start pursuing new interests with the hopes of feeling better.
Same here. I’m 28 and I feel like I haven’t done a very great job with my health. 5’4 and 200 lbs. trying to see what else I need to cut from my diet.
Congrats to both of you for choosing sobriety…choose it every single day💜
God bless you on your journey! mine starts now 🤞
Saturn return! Embrace sobriety! The rewards on the other side are so worth it
I am a retired Coroner and nothing helped learning and staying sharp more than autopsies, exposure to the real thing. Always was a honour and humbling to witness these wonders.
Can we all agree that this video needs to be played in high school. So people are taught what really happens to your body. Great video!
when the profits on booze and taxes collected are as high as they are, guess what, just like vaccines, the injuries mount and people die but money fixed the game
@@jzxtrd337 wasn’t covered in this detail when I went to school in 1990’s

My Mom donated her body & her brain really helped doctors to learn more about Lewy Body Dementia. I’m very proud of her.
Much love to you and yours💕 Your mom is a true HERO🦋
f u
Much Love and respects for your Mom. She was a very kind and Brave Human , salutes to her
wait... would you even be able ot live without a brain? Oh wait I forgot I don't even have a brain bruh-
Respect. That's a thing everyone must do to understand the human body and illnesses
I’m 29 and never drank a drop of alcohol my entire life. At some times I thought I was missing out on some fun, but the more time passes the happier I am of my decision to be lifelong sober.
You haven’t lived, but perhaps ignorance is bliss.
@@cynicalsayonara7169pretty bold of you. hah yeah alcohol is definitely not needed to live, could do you in even.
Lolololol
Smoke some weed
Good for you Fred. Boozers are boring & dull but they think they're having a great time and are funny. That's the alcohols effects on the brain. Drinkers are a legends in their head. Watch out for booze bullies.
A little mind trick that helps me overcome my urge to get sloshed, is imagining myself in scenarios where I am happy and also sober. I also imagine all the times I was happy and not drinking. This is essentially the opposite of what people do when they feed their urges to justify getting drunk even if it seems like a bad idea, because of all the good times they had while drinking before... This is no full proof method but it helps me. You can also watch informative and elucidating videos such as this one.
I would drink to numb my anger and loneliness, which was usually before my ex-husband would come home from work. Once I took back control of my life (divorce), the desire to drink wasn't there. I occasionally will have a martini when at a nice restaurant. I always drink water afterward as well. Now I have "rules" and I'm also happy with my life. I will never allow a person to make me that miserable again.
we are so I influenced by conditioning and habits another mind trick is to watch your thoughts and urges just that and say ah would you look at that urge coming up again, so now its not you its an urge they're separate and you're the boss
Release your inhibitions sober. Nice!!!!!
Thanks for your input! ❤️
I gave up alcohol one year ago.
I'm a recovering addict as well and it's a very difficult battle to win.
But I'm winning it. Just went through the end of year stuff sober for the first time in 20 years. I feel a bit depressed today and watching this helped me.
Keep going I'm almost at a year and don't miss it
Good luck for defeating it.keep it up for doing it till now.
Youay ñot be able to have a drunk but you have your life back. Hang in there friend. You are a legend!
@@harrypotter-mc1sq thank you my friend !!!
You’re amazing. Keep pushing. Congrats
Three years sober from alcohol. My body has never felt better and my liver is my homie now I take care of him
that is a damn great job!
keep it up :D
Nice! ;D
Congratulations
That's great, I never realized how important the liver is until , I know someone who was and still is a heavy drinker, I would cringe thinking about this persons liver crying out for help. Congrats on having strong will power.
Amen brother!
6 yrs sober today after being put in icu an diagnosed with cirrhosis. So happy and healthy today!! I’ve never felt better 🙏🏼🤙🏼 so glad to see something like this this for others to learn understand 😊
Okay you Just encouraged me I'm on day 2 ❤
God Bless
Legend!! Be proud and enjoy life to the full - respect!!
All tearing up. Mom donated her body to Wits University for medical science. Bless her soul. I will be going the same way. So good to hear that you appreciate the gift of after life. ❤
thank your mam from me too it was so amazing to see the real human body took so much in faster with the visuals thank you again think ill do the same save on funeral bills 🤣
If every college professon could teach like this, we would all have jumped out of bed at 6am to get to class by 7.
Watching a screen puts you into dream-like state which makes it easier to watch than listen to a real person.
I agree!
@@danielbentley8103 online classes have proved that most professors can even make screens boring.
Right!
So true! I was gonna post this same thing on a previous video. 💯 true!! Learning would be exciting for those of us with curious minds!
Been liquor free for 4 years, cut cigarettes and vaping out over a year ago........And I dont regret a second of it. I battled with alcohol for 15 years. I have lost 60lbs, and I am back to running 3 to 4 miles again everyday and lifting weights.
Health=wealth
That’s absolutely fantastic, good job! 😊
I have been trying to quit vaping, but it’s been tough. How long did it take for the intense anxiety and cravings to go away?
@@jewelsbarbie After 72 hrs the worst of it is over. Instead of waiting for a good day, or picking one date just quit every Monday. If you last till Tuesday, fine. Start over next Monday. If you last til Friday, fine. Start Over next Monday. Eventually you get so sick of giving up on quitting that it will just stick.
Also anxiety is something that happens in the body. The quickest way to change your state is by doing something physically. So do pushups, go for a walk, take a cold shower. whatever works. Its also impossible to be in a fight or flight mode while eating or drinking so try chewing some gum or drinking a glass of water.
@@jewelsbarbie 2 weeks. After that was just the habit of having it. Use gum, or buy a drink at the store. Youll get it, dont give up.
Thank you!!!
@@jewelsbarbie fast depending on your genetic makeup. I smoked for 25 years my kids told me if I quit they would never start. I put them down in 1986 and never touched them again. My wife hard time but hypnotism worked for her. It took her a year. My job paid for my smokes 2 packs for me and 2 for my wife. So easy fir me hard for my wife. Willpower.
@daniel smarkevateh fuck is wrong witchu?
I am a very heavy drinker who just stopped a few days ago I'm learning about alcohol help videos and happen to come across this one but the anatomy absolutely fantastic really really helps say no to when you want to have one.thks for sharing this 👍
You must be very careful. Don't quit without assistance. It's very dangerous.
Same I'm in the same boat. Very heavy drinker a few days sober. I joined the gym and started a lot of exercise it's definitely helping replace the calming effect of alcohol. Stay strong💪 sober is best!
Watched this 4 years after my anatomy class, tested myself and did better than expected. this is amazing info, easy to learn and accurate imo, Thank you
EDIT: I didn't expect a single reply when I wrote this. I just wanted to speak about my experience and I appreciate everyone's kindness. I have reached the 2 year mark and am healthier than I every was before in my life. I have lost 40 lbs. have taken martial arts for 20 months, am fit, and have received 2 promotions at work. I appreciate you all and hope everyone has a great day.
Original post: I was a heavy drinker for almost 20 years. I am currently 12 days away from 1 year sober. Not a day goes by where I do not want a drink and the struggle doesn't go away, I just continue to deal with it day by day. Kudos to anyone that continues the journey, whether it is day 1 or 1000, day 1 for the umpteenth time. Whether you are in recovery or if you want to quit and are thinking about it, know that people out there that do not know you at all are rooting for you.
I'm just watching this video now and see this was posted 11 days ago, so Happy 1 Year! How does it feel? Amazing, right? Keep it up. And you're right, to anybody ready for recovery or in it, you have a world of family members now who love and support you. We've walked your path before, and we know how it can go. I'm sitting at 1+ years right now, with my second anniversary later this year.
@@alisaishere Thank you. I appreciate your anonymous words of encouragement! Good luck to you as well because you deserve all the best.
Congratulations! That is so great!
I'm just an internet stranger, but congratulations on your anniversary of becoming sober. Addiction is one of the most difficult struggles a human can go through, you should be proud that you continue to beat it every day.
@@MyRedHulk Thank you!
Sober of alcohol for 32 years. It was killing Me. The worst drug on the planet. Great videos.
Agreed! So addicting. I have almost NINE years!
@@crownambassador8894 alcohol is definitely horrible for you but this kind of thinking is what caused the pointless war on drugs. We have tried it with drugs, we have also tried it with alcohol, ever heard of the prohibition? All it does is create opportunities for criminals and cause even more suffering. Banning substances is not the way, why should everyone be banned from it because some people can't drink responsibly. It's your responsibility and yours only to exercise restraint. I say this as someone with an alcohol problem.
@@walter176 Funny how most muslim countries don't have as high crime rates as the US since they have alcohol banned. I wonder why?
I also wondee why there wasn't a single fight among soccer fans at the Qatar Worlf Cup. Qatar also didn't allow any alcohol to be sold to the fans... Almost as if your claim is bs. 🤔
Congratulations, my dad has 30 years. We're super proud, I’m sure your family is grateful.
P.s. 9:30 that’s a fatty liver!
It's amazing how clear the explanation is! I'm a total newbie in this field, but it seems like I'm attending a lecture during my doctoral studies
Started working out at the gym and got into it after years of stress induced vertigo and depression. This channel is great even if as just a reminder on how everything works together. I'll choose my drinking more carefully after this. Oh, and if anyone is going through depression or stress related anxiety, vertigo. Go to a gym, find your own pace and make it your own experience. Love
My mom was 42 when she passed away, my little sister found her. She drank about 1/5 a day, but got to the point where she had to drink. One day she woke up peeing blood…..she did not tell anyone but her best friend. This made me in my adult life to not drink alcohol, I watched my mom drink herself to death, I vowed not to put my kids through this, im now 58, and my kids do not drink, did I break the ring? I hope so.
Wow, I’m sorry to hear that, but I’m glad you decided to break the cycle👏🏾
You sure did, congrats 👏🏼
Proud of you buddy. If there is anything i have seen in my life which truly is the worst thing, it is alcohol
Congrats on breaking the cycle.
I dont want my son (or grandaughter) remembering me a as a piss head, though that is what I am.
I keep trying tho.
Posts like this do actually help.
Thank you...
Ok
I've been alcohol free for going on 11 years after a lifetime of drinking. I don't miss it a bit. I never even think about it. I've always wanted to write a book called "Party Girls and Alcoholic Women". I was that party girl but at some point I was becoming the alcoholic woman. You reach a point in your life where drinking loses it's lustre and becomes pretty unattractive. I woke up one day and felt like my soul was dead. It wasn't fun anymore. It had become a chore. I don't judge others for what they do but for me I decided I'd had my fill. I'm happy and proud of myself for making that choice. There's alot to be said for sobriety and my body and mind thank me for it.
Good for you there's life without alcohol and you remember everything too.i wasn't an alcoholic but could easily went that way i quit smoking and drinking at 25yrs.old I'm 71 now.i feel great,I quit when cigarettes were .85cents a package, good luck to all of you !
How did you quit? Cold turkey or through a program?
I quit smoking and drinking around the same time about 15 years ago and I feel so much better now than I did before it's unreal. I slowed my smoking down for about a year and then just decided to quit and alcohol I just lost my taste for it. But now I really hate being around smokers, they have no idea how bad they smell and don't like being around most drinkers because they can't tell how annoying they can be. I only wish I had never started or at least had quit sooner now that I see how it can affect others around me.
I was never a big drinker, enjoyed a beer on a hot day and a Bourbon occasionally, or Auchentosh triple malt Scotch
(from the Northside of the Loch ...
Gave up alcohol completely in 2012, and feel much better for it.
Have seen alcohol destroy and end the life of too many people.
Now I make sure I consume 2 Litres of filtered water a day, just to flush
the Kidneys and bladder
Good for you! I worry about a friend becoming a party girl too. I wish I can tel her but she won’t listen
Fascinating video !!!!! Now I understand why I used to behave in some type of way...I celebrated my 34th birthday this year on February 1st. I have been in active addiction for at least 15 years. I thank God for the thought of sobriety and my willingness to change. I am 5 months and 18 days clean as at today, and all I ask for is God's guidance as I continue trudging the road to a happy destiny.
You need to get to the root cause of what caused you to drink
God bless you.
I am now an injecting diabetic thanks to drinking. Having my damaged Pancreas as the reason I quit drinking has made this time (third time) of stopping drinking the easiest of them all. I am 3.5 years sober and loving every minute of it.
Quarantine gave me the opportunity to totally quit alchool for a while and that came up being the second best thing i could do for my body after quitting smoking
The fact I never let myself get into alcohol and drink a few drinks per year at most and never smoked or did drugs is one of the few things I actually am proud about myself. I really hope that everyone who has fallen for any of these may be able to free themselves from it's grip

Can I please ask your age. I’m 55

Love this video! I’ve been sober living now for almost 11 months, and I’m now curious how and why alcohol effects the body physiologically.
I don't drink alcohol at all, and I'm often teased about it. After seeing this video, I feel so much better about my choice.
Excellent! You’re much better off without it.
Good for you. Smart choice.
Ahh yes, being teased because you're not drinking a toxin.

I’m 7.5 years sober in AA and can only bring myself now to watch the health affects alcohol has on the body. I was left with health issues and premature aging which I have fixed through eating clean and plastic surgery. The psychological issues I still work through
Stay strong, my dear!
What are the symptoms/ signs of premature aging?
I think its sometimes the reason why us addicts delay sobriety cos of the guilt we feel about the damage we've done to ourselves .....self forgiveness, as they say give up your auld sins
@@BuddhaSunnI can only speak for myself but alcohol made my hair shed faster and my skin was dull, aged and dry even when eating a good diet. Along with belly fat, stretch marks and sagging boobs. Thankfully I stopped before needing surgery but everything on this list has improved from stopping!

Hi
He's a kill joy. Everyone dies no matter what they do and a few more years as a healthy old prune are not worth it.
Sure the guy does it well
@@tim59ism I might feel that way if I wasn't married to my soulmate. A few more years with her is worth a few less with alcohol!
@@bronovalter391 Okay but you are assuming you are going to get them (the extra years). Sadly, there is no guarantee of even one more day.
I worked for a booze company for 30+ years: every year we had to spend a day on "alcohol awareness training". In my very first year (1975) the guy said "the definition of an alcoholic is somebody whose consumption of alcohol is costing them more than just the money". Sums it up perfectly.
In high school many moons ago, we were taught that alcoholics are people who drink excessively to get drunk. That’s their goal if you will. I like the definition that you shared.
That applies for fast food too
@@amos9001 fast food doesnt get you drunk tho...
@@Miaownerear It costs you more than your money
@@amos9001
Exactly. Maybe packs of crisps, sweets, ice cream, and cheesecakes etc should come with health warnings and those little pictures like you see on cigarette packs - like dead fat people and the damaged body parts of those who died from obesity!
Grateful for this video. Best on alcohol. I’d love to see how the body heals - diet, etc., as it might incentivize more people to help their bodies heal. I’ve been working on that for three years straight. I am a huge fan!!!🎉
I never drink at home, but at a party or some event im a pretty heavy drinker. I know as you said drinking experiences and effects are subjective, but I always keep myself hydrated and well fed, and NEVER experienced any kind of hangover, never got even close to vomiting or some sorts. I always liked to drink, but always knew it had to be done safely and wise.
If you've never had a hangover, you're not a heavy drinker, or you are a teenager
I quit drinking alcohol 7 years ago. Best decision I ever made. So happy to no longer be a slave to it!

Three years for me. Life is immeasurably better. Just couldn't see unhelpful patterns that were holding me back. Other vices: isolation, smoking, dope, screens; all become strong replacements to alcohol. Just wish you luck because I know how hard it is to push on sometimes, and we need that support for the respect we have for ourselves and others.
Dude huuuuuuuge congrats!
My exhusband (married 19 yrs, together 23) just passed from cirrhosis of the liver. He was a heavy drinker for at least 17 yrs. We have 2 kids that are both in their early 20s and one grandchild. His body couldn't process the toxins. The ammonia would build up and cause swelling in his brain. He had constant fluid retention and his feet and legs were severely swollen. He had jaundice. He was in and out of the hospital numerous times. He was put in assisted living and was only 55 yrs old. His kidneys started failing more and more. He would have times where he was not coherent due to the toxins building up and would need to go back to the hospital. He passed on Oct. 29, 2023. We miss him so much. 😢
Can you do the effects of smoking tobacco next!? Maybe a smokers lung and what happena to the body!
That'd look gross
There are sooooo many of these videos out there already
If will be very helpful.
I'd also like to see if they could break down the difference between tobacco smoke which contains more harmful chemicals to someone who only smoked cannabis, which has more tar, but none of the other harsh chemicals. No smoking is good for you but that would be a cool difference to see how they differ.
Well... that's a really OBVIOUS suggestion, isn't it? :D
I bet this topic will come veeeery soon...
Guys can you do "What Coffee does to your body" ? This episode was great! :)
that seems terrifying
Or Soda
Yesssss please do coffeee
good idea!
I don't thick black coffee does much to the body . But if u add lots of sugar to coffee it can affect the body
I've battled drinking from the age of 25 to 45 because I found myself living for the weekends and not happy with my choice of work carrier. I would drink through the week to cope with life and binge drink with friends on weekends when possible. At 45 I emotionally knew I was failing in life by my choices and actions from alcohol. At 47 I found my passion for the outdoors to be more true to myself, so I started a tube channel for fishing and camping. I am happy to say that I found myself before loosing everything I had embracing me like my wife and kids to the true friends that were not abusers. I can stay sober for weeks now and choose when and how much I want to drink if I choose to with friends. Life really begins when you understand!
To everyone fighting for and maintaining sobriety, I am proud of you. Keep going strong. You got this!
Yes indeed.
Thanks no one
2 years sober. I'm happy. Couldn't have chose a better choice in life. I was dying. Daily. My body would hard. I lost a ton of weight because I couldn't eat. I was never hungry. Just wanted wine. Hurt for me to even pee. I didn't want sex. I couldn't have kids. I blamed it on stressed but it was an addiction. I'm glad I'm done. My son saved my life.
Glad to hear this, mate. Lots of respect for you and I hope you have a good life!
Happy for you but "my body would hard" is that a typo.
The same thing happened to my grandfather, he went to world war two and came back and became an alcoholic he would not eat for months at a time.
Eventual died of cancer in his early 60 's.
Keep up the good work
God Bless you!
Was a heavy heavy drinker up to 2010 when i quit all power to those trying to stop these videos are very educational keep em coming
I live in Canada. I have lyme disease. There are lesions on my brain. I want to donate my body. I dont know how.
These videos are awesome. So well done. Thankyou for taking the time to create these very educational videos. They are priceless.
I'm a 23 year old woman. I've been an alcoholic since I was 18. Probably drank more alcohol in my teens than most people do in a lifetime, was homeless for 2 years and consumed nothing but dry bread and alcohol for 4 years... I'm SO anxious about the damage I'm doing every day. But I have zero coping mechanisms, so what so I do to cope with that anxiety? I drink more. I would find it funny if it wasn't so damn terrifying. But I'm slowly getting better. Usually go a few weeks without drinking now, then a few where I do, then a few where I don't. I worked my way up to 50 days for the first time this year. And just a week ago, I had a month under my belt also. I think for the first time in over half a decade, I've gone a year where I had as many sober days as I had drunk ones. I'm proud of how far I've come. I've been a homeless advocate for 3 years, even made it on national television once?? And I finally, finally went back to college a week ago. Studying so I can become a proper social worker. I know how important it is to have someone be compassionate, to just be listened to without judgement. If you're currently homeless or addicted, hang in there buddy. The only constant in life is that nothing is permanent. This will pass and there WILL be better days ahead. You are worthy of every good thing that comes your way. I love you and I believe in you.
Hey, thank you so much for this. I'm drinking daily, and I'm currently learning coping mechanisms just before I become homeless.
Btw, what country are you from?
@@Pax.RUclips Coming from the financial side, alcohol consumes a lot of money, and it can effect your memory when it comes to paying bills on time. Or numb your ability to negotiate an extension on your lease.
$2 a day for a beer may not seem like much compared to rent, but it repeats more frequently. $2 per day becomes $14 per week or $62 per month and then $730 per year, and that not taking interest into account.
I don't know your situation, so I'm not making presumptions about why you're facing homelessness. But when money is that tight, small purchases do matter, because they add up.
And this is true for $5 coffees as well, so please don't think I'm picking on you. But sometimes our coping methods are what undermine us.
If you're willing to share your general location, I might be able to point you to some more helpful resources. Losing housing is understandably stress inducing.

@@DevinMcSaltyHell no.. don’t recommend that shit..! I wasted 30 years of my life smoking that shit, mainly because I was scared, that I would not like jazz if I quit.. my life just “happened”, when I was stoned, but just a few years after I stopped, I was married and had my first kid, and also started a successful business.. and to my surprise, probably love jazz even more now
I just celebrated 10 years sober last month and I was a hard core, late stage alcoholic who had to drink around the clock to avoid going into massive withdrawal. To anyone who believes they have a drinking problem or knows they're an alcoholic but can't stop, please get help. Don't live in shame and embarrassment for years like I did. It never, ever goes away on it's own once you've passed a certain point and the consequences get worse and worse. I never thought I'd be able to be a person who didn't need a drink. I couldn't imagine not wanting or needing to drink. But after some hard and honest work, I put together a week, then a month, then a year. And I kept doing that because I was proud of myself and I was healthy again. Now, 10 years later, I'm still doing the deal. I've been through some of the roughest, most painful life experiences and never wanted to drink over them because I know that, for me, it would never be just one or two. As we alcoholics say, "One is too many and one thousand is never enough." If you can relate to that, there's help out there and lots of people ready to support you. ♡
i 100% agree! although for many getting help is extremly hard, it is extremely worth it! i truly wish people were given more attention and help when they are addicted.
todays my day 50 after years of use and pain its a uphill battle and the days that are easiest are by far the most dangerous.
@@eugenepetty1159 50 days is a damn miracle! Congratulations. ♡
@@PatchesCody Congrats on 2.5 years!! That's amazing. And I want nothing more than for you to keep doing what you're doing FOREVER. ♡
I love the saying you shared at the end, it can be relatable to any substance, very happy for you btw!!
Just love your delivery on all videos so thank you. Hangover cure for me was Andrew’s liver salts. Thankfully the older I became the less I indulged in alcohol .
I saw this video about a year ago, and then again today; thank you for posting it and thank you to the people who donated their bodies to science. This is very informative but I guess I was expecting to see the visual effects of alcohol on the body; it would have more impact to deter people if they could see what their internal organs look like after years of abuse. Thank you Institute of Human Anatomy for continuing to educate us.
I'm an anatomy professor myself , this is like a guide to "how to teach" for me .... Amazing video , keep it up
Nice compliment!
That's exciting, I know your students will benefit from a more engaging classroom experience.
arent we all!
I'm a nurse and when I was still in training I was treating a patient with cirrhosis of the liver (he was an alcoholic). When I first met the guy he was okay - obviously not healthy but his condition was bearable. A few days later I was doing my rounds again and the guy suddenly wasn't capable of coherent speech anymore. I obviously freaked out because I thought he might have had a stroke or something and ran to get my mentor. She calmed the patient down a bit and then took me outside the room. She explained to me the shift in personality and cognitive function. This is what happened to the man:
When the liver is scarred from the constant alcohol influx it can't properly function anymore. Toxins like ammonia can't be metabolised correctly and start to accumulate in the blood. Once these reach a certain concentration they will cross the blood-brain-barrier. This happened to the patient. The toxins entered his brain and severely influenced his speech and mannerisms. The toxins will also saturate around the skin, making patient very itchy and their skin irritable.
Sadly, the effects of livercirrhosis don't end there. Since the liver is such a big organ and essentially our detox-station it needs to filter a lot of blood at once. To that end it is suffused by the portal vein which "collects" all the blood from your abdominal region. But since the livertissue is scarred the blood from this vein can't flow into the liver as fast as it wants/needs to. This causes the pressure in the vein to build up and the blood to accumulate. This leads to varicose veins in your stomach and esophagus. Sudden pressure or increase in temperature (such as a hot bath) can rupture these veins which can kill you quite quickly.
The high pressure in the portal vein also literally presses out the fluid components of the blood which collect in the abdominal region. These are the "beerbellies" you might know. They hinder movement and the pressure can even cause shortness of breath.
There are EVEN MORE problems and symptomes caused by liverchirrosis but I think I got the point across: Don't abuse alcohol because it will wreck your liver and your liver will take terrible vengeance on you.
And…(another RN, dealt with end stage cirrhosis in ICU)…they look like orange 10 month pregnant people that don’t have any idea what they are doing and try to climb out of bed, sometimes get combative, sometimes end up on the ventilator as they go through acute alcohol withdrawals. Bellies are drained with large bore needles (5- 6 liters) periodically as the “ascites” collects from the failed liver. This can be risky and cause cardiovascular complications. The muscle mass and malnutrition leaves nothing but bones with skin on top, tube feeding or food through the IV has to be managed carefully. Medicine and treatment at this point are chasing the tail, and waiting to see if the patient recovers as the body detoxifies. So sad to watch and hard to manage.
I've had a few patients die from esophageal varacies through my stints in GI and ICU. It always amazes me when the family is either in denial or unaware about how much the patients drink. GI is still the hardest place Ive worked and being bullied by coworkers lead to me getting out. Best decision I've ever made! Great explanation of how things work. Hug your liver with abstinence of alcohol; I quit drinking that year. Take care
Very well explained, when I was a nursing student, we had a similar case, the patient started to throw up blood and died very quickly, it was not a pretty sight, and as a nursing student quite traumatic 😫
@@sjohnson1876 I've also seen those bellies being drained but more like 2-3 litres in one sitting. Isn't 5-6 litres in one go dangerous? In the academy we were tought that you shouldn't drain that much in one go as it places a lot of stress on the cardiovascular system.
Medicine and treatment "chasing the tail" happens so often, it can be quite disheartening. I see this with so many treatments/diseases! From chronic diabetes to kidney failures to heavy smokers with COPD, the list is endless...
@@Onk3lM0 yes, you are absolutely correct on the amount to drain. We had a physician that did one and put the patient into danger by taking off too much at one time. I don’t know what he was thinking. The patient’s BP dropped and they started to go into hypovolemic shock. With the ascites, there is too much pressure on the vessels, especially the inferior vena cava, and if you take the pressure off, there is a sudden drop in venous blood return to the heart. It can cause cardiac arrest.
And yes, this type of “chasing the tail” is very disheartening. I have learned to just keep these patients comfortable, because essentially it is palliative care. So sad. We can’t fix everyone. I also take the perspective that this can allow people an opportunity to make amends with their family or those close to them. Sometimes it is a good time to address code status, as they are faced with reality. So many people do not understand resuscitation, and so many times we don’t address it.
This presentation was so informative and understandable. Don’t I wish that I had seen this 50 years ago!
Learned much from this video; esp. how wrong my school was when teaching anatomy: organ sizes, colors, locations, etc.
I get rid of hangovers easily enough with either/both pork fat and caffeine.
It's a miracle that my innards are still functioning after what I have put them through. Seven years clean, praying for another seven!
props to you! to seven more years 🤝
Congrats! And good luck!
Badass! Congratulations
Do not give up! A day at a time!

@@EatMyShortsAU ^^ I second this. Also, Heme Review (his second channel) if you want even more in-depth.
Same here!
I didn’t expect to watch the whole thing but I was absolutely riveted!
Same! Lol I finally know that the spleen is not just something people say they got hit in xD plus I actually know where it is, along with the liver. Things I did not know 30 minutes ago xD
I recently had the pleasure of having experienced a moderately-sized hangover from a very mild drinking session. It was right before my body started winding up to fight a cold that I technically likely caught the day prior without realizing it. Also, at my age, hangovers are absolutely to be expected and I will say that at one point a couple of years ago, I was so drunk that I started vomiting. Rewinding back to the first instance of nausea, I started drinking as much water as I possibly could get down for the purpose of changing my blood alcohol percentage. That was about an hour and a half prior to the event, so there was plenty of time for absorption. Next morning, the hangover was extremely light. Either my stomach had evacuated contents that would contribute to it, or I was onto something.
Hangover symptoms are largely due to being dehydrated.
The drinking of a significant amount of water meant you weren’t as hungover. It likely made little difference in the actual metabolism of the alcohol you had already drank (aka: it didn’t change your drunkenness or your BAC).
I just survived a very terrifying severe alcohol withdrawal syndrome. I was rushed to a hospital 2 months ago. Tremors, Anxiety, seizures, insomnia. But the most terrifying was the hallucinations. It’s called the delirium tremens (DT’s) I thought I was gonna die or going crazy. Thanks to my doctor, i’m so happy and thankful I survived. I’m 2 months sober now.
Wishing you strength to stay sober 💪😊

I appreciate a video by someone who does drink in moderation and understands the effects.
I’m currently getting sober and it’s the realistic, scientific approach that makes me want to get healthier and quit drinking.
My mother died from Liver cirrhosis back when I was a teenager, since Covid lockdowns I started consuming a lot of Ale which in turn. I gained a lot of weight and put me into morbid obesity. The last six weeks I’ve cut my alcohol intake in half and started learning to eat healthier and start walking! My recent health scares have seriously made me start to change my ways. Why I never looked at what it did to my mum I have no idea she never made her 50th.
I'm sorry for your loss. Keep uo the good work! You can do it and you will be so proud of yourself, and so will your Mama from above
Recovering alcoholic here as well, i was drunk 24 hours a day for 4 years, with withdrawals if i didnt drink, been clean for over a year after a medical detox. Recovery is possible :)
I just got out of detox myself. My habits were similar to yours and I used to drink tons of whiskey every single day just to avoid withdrawal seizures. I feel like a brand new person now that I've safely quit. Recovery is definitely possible
@@DiegoTheRebel Yes, my choice was also whiskey and vodka, a quick fix to the shakes

Man, you've convinced me to donate my body to science, instead of cremation. It makes me much more content to provide illustrative material to med students instead of burning my body.
well also cause you dont know if the people at the cremation place will give you, yourself to your family or some random person.
Definitely a good choice, your body can be used for a good purpose once you’re gone. It can be used to educate other people for good causes 👍

Been drinking since I was 18. I am now 38. I have begun to slow way down on my drinking, and hope to completely stop, because of it's toll on my body. I wish I never started in the first place. If you are young and reading this, please do not drink, it's not worth it.

As a drinker, I find this video, both disturbing and informative. People need to have unbiased information, and people like yourself provide it. Thank you.
I agree. Just show us the actual science of the effects of alcohol on our systems and I feel a little more worried, a little more disturbed. I'm 60 now and still like having a few on weekends but notice the fatigue is a lot greater then before and lasts longer. Drinking slower seems to do the trick for me as opposed to drinking 6 or 7 beers really fast only to realize I may have had 1 or 2 too many. Visualizing how the alcohol flows through the system for me gives me pause.
How about 30yrs of heavy drinking and chain smoking but no symptom whatever?
It will be a horrific ending.

I can't have 1 drink, I'll keep drinking. Runs in the family. I didn't want my kids talking about me the way I talked about others in the family.
I had one last hoorah and then started my journey, the Monday following Memorial Day weekend.
I can be around social drinkers but if they're dependent, I'll sit at the opposite end. The flashbacks are real.
However people decide to monitor themselves is up to them. It's personal. But I know I can't indulge. 😣

The "Fear" the next day killed it for me eventually. Being convinced I was about to die after almost every time I drank was enough to knock it on the head for good. Blood pressure would shoot up dangerously high for the following several days after a session and almost ended up in hospital. Weight also ballooned to almost 250 pounds. That was last year and now on the road to recovery.
I am 410 days sober friend and I totally agree. It got really scary.
You can do it, just see how much better you feel and just keep thinking about the positives
This is the stuff that should be in schools from a young age, understanding the magic cells that create us early in life would teach us to respect our body's.
I'm saving this video to show my kids.
My first born is now 9, I'm sure he is old enough to start teaching him what all these things do and what alcohol does. I don't drink alcohol at all, you wouldn't even find any in our house nor do we have any sodas which I feel are just as bad for our kids. So with in our lifestyle alone I'm teaching my kids that it's not necessarily at all and with that they don't get the need to have it as they don't have it ever generally. There has been times where people asked my kids if they wanted a soda for the special occasions which I allowed, but they said no thank you and asked for fruit juice and water instead.
I didn't grow up with sodas in my parents house and only really had some when I left school at 18 and because of that (it's not that i wasnt allowed to have any) I never cared for it as well as alcohol. So I do feel that our lifestyles influence our children's addictions and substance abuse alot later on in life. Just having it and do it around them often affect their perception of it and I feel that is something all parents should really be aware of and think about when they have kids. Our own behaviour affects our children in so many ways.
DARE didn’t work
@@AstralBee16 my daughter watched this at 10 and she has no desire to drink alcohol now. It was very effective!
There's no magic cell or magic anything, science is cause and effect - creator and creation. Kid's will not hear this simple, logical truth in any of the board of indoctrination sanctioned schools.
The question was: “how to fix a hangover”, not avoid it.
It'd be cool to see a video on organs affected by type 1 diabetes or hyperglycemia. For eg how gastroperesis manifests when autonomic muscles like pylorus stays pinched by borderline high blood sugar. Along the same vein, how OTC medications absorb in various parts of digestive / circulatory / nervous systems.
Amazingly good! You explained it all in a way even I could understand. On day 4 of how many tries. I know I can do it, but now I have a better understanding. Thank you.
I used to have an occasional drink here and there, but started drinking regularly and habitually last year. I decided to give it up and get back into fitness. Haven't had any drinks in 6 weeks now, and feel great! My breathing is better, more energy throughout the day to get things done... just all around better.
Great that you could "catch" yourself!!
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I never drank, but smoked for 30 years and then quit 12 years ago. The one lesson I learned from years before is don't think you can take/drink just one, that will be your downfall. Life without this stuff is so much better.

Thank God for Islam. Prohibits alcohol, smoking, and recreational drugs. All forms of self harm. Maybe for pleasure but in the end it's still self harm. It doesn't matter if it's just one glass a week, it can still become addicting. Same thing with only 1 cigarette a day, that could increase to a half a pack a day.
Been drinking about 8-10 cans daily for a year now, 3 days sober now. Looking forward to see the improvement of my health.

@N. PN ok good for you
Amazingly described. I really enjoyed and reflected watching your video. ❤
for the hangover part I must say.. good sleep and plenty of water first, N-acetyl-cysteine (NAC) with witamin C (fresh citrus, orange, ..) , choline-bitrate, desmodium, to help the liver detoxicate, then beeing active the next day to activate metabolism, helps. As far as food is concerned, I feel pretty compelled to fat and protein, seems strange as the liver would have double task, so I try to delay the food intake as much as possible. 😊
When you guys posted this video I simply stopped drinking at all. Never had a drinking problem or anything, never been a big fan of alcohol either, but I simply refused to drink ever since. Everyone asks me and I always refer them to this video. It is creating new members to this not drinking for the sake of it club, which I think is great. The best part is waking up without a hangover after a heavy and long party and being super fresh because I took no substance at all. The info from this video made me happier and by just reflecting on it I wanted to stop by and thank you guys for showing me what an aware and healthy life feels like. Will soon hit two years!

How did alcohol contribute to cataracts?

Alcohol isn't what destroyed your body, it was purely yourself. I never blame alcohol if I drink so much that I end up puking, I ALWAYS end up blaming myself. You destroyed yourself using alcohol, simple as that.

When I went through my Special Forces medical training back in the 1980s, we were given the opportunity to assist autopsies when they were being done at the hospital in Ft. Sam Houston. One of the most memorable events of my life was when we did an autopsy on a middle-aged woman who was an alcoholic and had Hepititis C as well. She died of an aneurism. We had assisted on several autopsies up to this point, but when we opened this woman it was shocking. Her organs looked like they'd been put in a microwave on high for twenty minutes. Her liver was completely necrosed. It was just a black piece of lifeless meat. Her belly was full of more than a gallon of foul-smelling ascitic fluid. Her lungs were blackened coal from chain smoking. Her innards were so disgusting, I thought everyone should see something like that to show them the effect of abusing your body with cigarettes and alcohol. I stopped smoking after that experience, and I drink very little alcohol to this day.
Damn man that’s a hardcore and wretched of a vision to have! And Special Forces gave you this opportunity to do these? Was it as a preventative measure as they put so much into you as far as training and faith to get your job done, that they did that just to try to keep you guys dry when that moment came? I cannot imagine why else they would. But it’s something I bet you never forgot.
