lack of this element in abundance contained in oranges and 
tomatoes can cause tremors. Alcohol leaches vitamins B1, B6 and 
C. It is therefore desirable fed with these substances the body 
before, during and after alcohol. And if in the bustle of

adapt to such an intrusion and mitigate the consequences. Brain
resists the action of depressants, altering cellular
shell. The result? Once the brain is freed from
alcohol-adapted (which became more sensitivity) cells

abundantly supplied with arterial and venous vessels - in the 
mirror It can be seen as the vessels under the thin translucent 
shell giving it a bluish tint. Absorption of alcohol is

is even easier than in the stomach, because shell denied
protective layer of mucus and can not "reflexively contract. Any
alcoholic beverage, especially carbonated heated or
containing extractives (irritate and
increase its blood supply), more intoxicating than usual
