From there, it goes\ninto the blood. However, as it hits the bloodstream, it\naffects a pcrson’s speech, movement, vision, and balance.\nThis happens to any person in any culture. How people\nin different cultures handle alcohol is a different story,\nhowever. Social conditions, cultural factors, and physical\ndifferences all play a role in how alcohol affects a society’s\npopulation.\n　In France, people drink great quantities of wine from\na young age. Liver disease is high compared with other\ncountries, but interestingly, the number of heart attacks\nis low. This puzzles scientists because the French diet is\nhigh_in cheese, cream, and other foods that are thought to\nbe dangerous for the heart. Therefore some experts think\nthat red wine may have a positive effect on the blood and\ncirculation. Red wine is the preferred drink of France.\n　In Italy, as in France, drinking wine is popular from\na young age. For men, it is embarrassing if you cannot\nseem to control yourself while drinking. As police seldom\ncheck drivers for drinking, it is no surprise that there\nare a lot of trafﬁc deaths in Italy each year connected\nto alcohol. Just as in France, however, heavy drinking\nhas been declining in recent years. Education in both\ncountries has helped to reduce the number of heavy\ndrinkers.\n　In Finland, road checks are extremely strict.\nTherefore, 17% of all trafﬁc deaths are related to alcohol,\nwhich is low. Yet heavy drinking is popular, and during\nthe winter, it is not uncommon to ﬁnd a happy man\nfrozen to death in a park or dead on the ground after\nhitting his head following a fall while walking home on\nan icy street. Finland is a very cold country during the\nwinter, and days are very short, as the sun comes up late\nand sets early. The long period of darkness in the winter,\ntoo, means that people drink more.\nIn Asian countries such as Japan and Korea, it is\nsometimes important to drink with company workers\nif you are asked. Many decisions are made over drinks\noutside of the company. As a customer walks to a pub or\nbar, he can easily buy a drink along the way, from one of\nthe many vending machines selling alcohol right on the\nstreet. The easy availability of alcohol would seem to be\na big problem. However, as many Asians lack an enzyme\nthat breaks down acetaldehyde, their faces become\nred when they drink. This serves as a sort of warning\nsystem. For this reason, alcoholism is comparatively low\nin Japan.\nRaising a glass of wine, beer, or liquor is one of\nhumankind’s oldest rituals. lt can deepen friendships\nand make celebrations happier. However, it also has the\npower to ruin lives, families, and kill thousands upon\nthousands in trafﬁc accidents each year. It is a riddle\nthat every culture seems to try solving in its own way."
