ALCOHOL

Alcohol is a chemical, a drug, a fuel,  a poison, a preservative and a solvent. When taken, most of the  alcohol is quickly taken into the blood stream. It then has to be burned up by the liver or disposed of through sweat or urine. Alcohol has different effects on people. It makes some people  very chatty and lively at first but being a depressant, it  slows down certain brain functions,  blunts your judgement and self control so that simple things like  speech  and co-ordination becomes difficult.
