CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

Alcoholic beverages are fermented from the sugars in fruits,

berries, grains, and such other ingredients as plant saps, tubers,
honey, and milk and may be distilled to reduce the original watery
liquid to a liquid of much greater alcoholic strength. Beer is the
best-known member of the malt family of alcoholic beverages, which
also includes ale, stout, porter, and malt liquor. It is made from
malt, corn, rice, and hops. Beers range in alcoholic content from
about 2 percent to about 8 percent. Wine is made by fermenting the
juices of grapes or other fruits such as apples (cider), cherries,
berries, or plums. Winemaking begins with the harvest of the fruit,
the juice of which is fermented in large vats under rigorous
temperature control. When fermentation is complete, the mixture is
filtered, aged, and bottled. Natural, or unfortified, grape wines
generally contain from 8 to 14 percent alcohol; these include such
wines as Bordeaux, Burgundy, Chianti, and Sauterne. Fortified wines,
to which alcohol or brandy has been added, contain 18 to 21 percent
alcohol; such wines include sherry, port, and muscatel.

The making of distilled spirits begins with the mashes of

grains, fruits, or other ingredients. The resultant fermented liquid
is heated until the alcohol and flavourings vaporize and can be
drawn off, cooled, and condensed back into a liquid. Water remains
behind and is discarded. The concentrated liquid, called a distilled
beverage, includes such liquors as whiskey, gin, vodka, rum, brandy,
and liqueurs, or cordials. They range in alcoholic content usually
from 40 to 50 percent, though higher or lower concentrations are
found.

Under 13 It is at the landlord’s discretion as to whether

children are allowed anywhere in a pub. They cannot of course, buy
or drink alcohol on the premises and Under 18 years old it is
illegal to buy alcohol (this includes in any shop or supermarket,
off licenses, bars, clubs or restaurants and buying on line). It is
illegal to buy alcohol for someone under 18 in a licensed premises,
the only exception is for 16 or 17 year-olds who are allowed to

 Drink beer, wine or cider with food if with an adult (but they
may not buy the alcohol themselves).

It is legal for anyone over 5 to drink alcohol. The

restrictions apply to purchasing (under 18) and location – in
licensed premises, in public or in alcohol exclusion zones, Police
have powers to.

Disadvantage of drinking alcohol beverages many of the

drawbacks of alcohol appear when you round the curve from drinking
moderately to drinking heavily or binge drinking. Heavy drinking can
lead to inflammation of the liver, known as alcoholic hepatitis, and
cirrhosis, or scarring of the liver. It also increases blood
pressure, can damage the heart muscle and potentially plays a role
in the development of several cancers, including breast, colon,
mouth and liver, says Harvard. In addition, heavy drinking increases
the risk for osteoporosis, particularly in young women, says
University of Rochester Medical Center. Alcohol can disrupt sleep
patterns and lead to weight gain, given that it serves up 7 calories
per gram without offering any nutrients along with it. Drinking can
also cloud your judgment, paving the way for destructive decisions
such as getting behind the wheel of a car.

Advatages of drinking alcohol beverages According to Harvard,

more than 100 scientific studies show a relationship between
moderate drinking and a reduced risk of death from heart attacks,
clot-caused strokes and overall cardiovascular causes. Alcohol in
reasonable amounts raises your levels of high-density lipoprotein,
also known as “good” cholesterol, which helps protect against heart
disease. Some types of alcohol are better protectants than others --
red wine, specifically, has a high concentration of polyphenols that
can reduce blood pressure. Additionally, the University of Rochester
Medical Center notes that moderate drinking can help protect blood
vessels in the brain, as well as those in the heart, decreasing the
risk for dementia.

Advantages

Disadvantages

It has simple flowsheet, low capital investment, and low risk.

If components to be separated have a high relative volatility
differenceand are ther,ally stable, distillation is hard to beat and
lower pressure drop than in plate columns and useful for severe or
generalize or generalized carses of spasticty that do not respond to
other less invasive tretaments reduces muscle tone and frequency of
spasms while increasing ROM, reduces painful spasms direct
administration of baclofen into spinal canal allows continuous
supply of baclofen to site of action.

Distillation has a low energy efficiency and requires themal

stability of compounds at their boilind points. It may nt be
attractive when azeotropes are involved or when it is necessary to
separate high boiling components, present in small concentrations,
from large volumes of a carrier, such as water and can break during
installation or due to thermal expansion. Risk of complications due
to catheter or pump fallure and infection.

Significance of the Study

The importance of this study is to understand the collected

information about the perceptions of senior high school students
regarding on the Drinking Alcoholic Beverages to know how they
affected by this phenomenon.The generalization of this present study
will be highly significant and beneficial specifically to the

following:

To the students- This study helps the student to know what are
the effects of drinking alcoholic beverages

To the parents- This study helps the parents to ensure that it

becomes their number one responsibility to educate their child about
the conse uence of drinking alcoholic beverages.

To the teachers-The findings of this study is to provide

specific guidance for senior high school teachers about drinking
alcoholic beverages so that they can provide enough knowledge for
the students about drinking alcoholic beverages for a clearer
understanding of the topic or phenomenon.

To the future researchers-This study can be used by future

researchers as their guide to conduct similar study with a larger
sample size and more time and resources to their future studies
towards achieving a realistic and sufficient data in accordance to
the involvement of the society if necessary.
