for sharing. I thought this was great because it makes it feel like what you said meant something to the group and overtime would build respect. We ended our introductions with the group speaker who told her story about her struggles with alcohol and how alcohol had impacted her life. She also talked about how she came to lead alcoholics anonymous support groups. She then spoke about her own resentments and admitted that forgiveness was the hardest part of recovery for her. I then read aloud a…

the world alcohol intake is usual among teenager. Although legal age of 18-20 years old have allow to purchasing and drinking alcohol legally in Australian states, around 61% of Australian children between 12-17 years of age they consumed alcohol in the last 12 months (Subbaraman, 2013). Use and misuse of alcohol during an early age have been shown big problems (e.g. vehicle accident, injury, risky sexual behavior, increase crimes rates) but also early drinking may lead to long terms alcohol…

Addiction is a chronic disease that impairs ones behavior and life responsibilities. It can be pleasurable to oneself, but harmful at the same time. Addiction involves substances and activities such as alcohol, cocaine, gambling, etc. and it becomes very compulsive. Twenty-five percent of all alcoholics are women. Gwyneth Paltrow plays the character of Kelly Canter who suffers from alcoholism in the movie, “Country Strong.” She demonstrated the struggle one goes through when being an addict.…

Which drug is better to use? Alcohol is legal but marijuana is not, how is that possible? Previous research states that marijuana causes more danger to one’s health. However, many people are starting to realize that the disadvantages of alcohol surpass the so called dangers of marijuana. In fact, according to Pew Research Center, about seven-in-ten (69%) of Americans believe alcohol is more harmful to a person’s health than marijuana (6 facts about Marijuana). Over twenty states around the…

from an economics perspective. This summary will provide insight into alcohol consumption in Australia, before concentrating on youth consumption levels and examining the associated social costs. Economic theory will help explain these negative externalities and how they can be corrected through government policy. Finally, critical analysis of the effectiveness of the ‘alcopops tax’, a price floor policy and a restriction on alcohol advertising, will determine the likelihood of policy success…

a phenol, and two tert-butyls. Quinolones are regularly found in anti-biotics, amides are seen in the synthesis of nylon, phenol can be retrieved from coal tar, and tert-butyl groups are big hydrophobic groups found in tert-butyl alcohol (the simplest tertiary alcohol); none of these functional groups were invented or developed first by the parent company of the drug, Vertex. Together though these groups form an extremely expensive medicine for an extremely dangerous disease. Treatment with…

environment, though unfortunately, many people are making it a potential danger to others. To begin, one of the main issues is drinking and driving. Many teens know this is not good, though they do not make smart choices. Many teens choose to drink alcohol, even though it is illegal. Why? Well, they might think it's cool, or they may be doing because a friend is. Whatever the reason, drinking is bad regardless, and it isn't even legal for teens to drink. Yet they still drink. Not only this,…

Introduction Yeast Humans have been using alcohol fermentation capability of yeast for the production of bread, crackers, beer and wine. Yeast is beneficial in the food industry as it is used for bread making, the yeast is mixed with white flour then fermentation begins which allows the bread to swell because of the pressure. During this process there are two ATP molecules for each glucose molecule fermented, yeast is a source of food as it has substances and proteins, dried yeast has about…

Introduction: The purpose of this experiment is to determine the product that is produced from sodium hypochlorite oxidizing 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol and this experiment is to also determine if sodium hypochlorite is a selective oxidizing agent. This reaction is an oxidation reaction. The reaction involves the removal hydrogens and sometimes the addition of oxygen. 2-ethyl-1,3-hexanediol will undergo an oxidation reaction to produce an unknown product (Scheme 1). (1) Scheme 1.…

Four different were gathered from the IR spectroscopy to identify the nitrophenol. The first peak observed was a weak and broad at 3314.75 cm-1, which was corresponded to an alcohol group; therefore this peak must be corresponded to the O-H stretch of the phenol with a literature value that ranges from 3550-3500 cm-1 (Figure 5). The variance between the observed value, and the expected value can be due to the MHz of the IR spectrometer used. The second peak observed was a weak-medium, sharp and…
