1. Peoples’ susceptibility to alcohol, mood and how it affects the client. Effects of alcohol on mood In a study conducted by Nurnberger (2002), a direct relationship exists between consumption of alcohol and mood . Alcoholic intoxification commonly produces a “high” with attendant giddiness and lowering of inhibitions. Conversely, hangovers and acute withdrawal typically produce dysphoria with elements of anxiety and depression mixed with physical malaise. Furthermore, alcoholism and depression

that all States prohibit people under the age of twenty one from purchasing or publicly possessing alcohol beverages. This act is currently a law in all 50 states. This is a debate about whether or not should the national drinking age should remain at the age of twenty one or if it should be lowered to the age of eighteen. With this topic having many concerns, like health, having the minimum alcohol consumption lowered to the age of eighteen would give a sense of adulthood that should, so to speak

knew I was mature enough to tell me that my cousin was an alcoholic and a drug addict. Taking in that information at such a young age was very overwhelming considering it was my first time hearing of this in my family. It first started with the alcohol. As the years went on, he started getting so careless and irresponsible that he lost his very well paid job in Manhattan. He became so depressed that his addict state of mind started growing stronger and more powerful until he found a new addiction

A Tale of Two Stories Quite often in life, people encounter situations where what they are expected to do conflicts with their morals and values. In situations where this occurs, the person must make a decision as to whether it is worth it to put aside their values or if they are going to take a stand and act according to their values. A person’s decision can be telling of their personality and the importance they put on their job performance. I am fortunate enough to have not encountered many

A miniscale diels-alder reaction was performed between the conjugated diene 2,3dimethyl-1,3 butadiene and a substituted alkene such as maleic anhydride in order to produce a substituted cyclohexane. The substituted cyclohexane produced was 4,5-dimethyl-4-cyclohexene-cis-1,2-dicarboxylic acid anhydride. A diels- alder reaction does not have an intermediate state, meaning that bond breaking and bond making occurs at the same time. Heat needs to be applied in order for the reaction to occur and it is

The first molecule of butane shown is antibonding, meaning that the carbon groups are 180 degrees apart. This is the most stable conformation of butane because there is no strain on the molecule. The second molecule of butane shown is eclipsed, the eclipsed molecule has torsional strain between the carbon hydrogen bonds making it less stable than the anti or gauche form. The gauche form is the second most stable configuration of butane where the two methyl groups are staggered 60° apart from each

Tetraphenylcyclopentadienone Introduction The purpose of this experiment was to synthesize tetraphenylcyclopentadienone by reacting dibenzyl ketone with benzil in the presence of a base. The reaction proceeded via an aldol condensation reaction with dehydration, and then the product crystals were isolated by vacuum filtrations using a Buchner funnel. Experiment Scheme Equation 1. Aldol condensation reaction between benzil and dibenzyl ketone in the presence of a base To begin the experiment
