Abstract

This chapter describes in sequence, the origin of madya (liquor) practice, the preferred formulation of the liquor, correct methods of consumption, and advantages of its consumption. Then, another aspect of the liquor consumption is described, starting from different stages of intoxication, disadvantages of liquor consumption, and various other forms of intoxication which should be understood by the treating physician.

The chapter also highlights the preferred quality of liquor with preferred composition which shall be multi-ingredient based rather than the single ingredient. Comparison of the liquor with visha, the poison has also been described.

Ojas and its significance has been elaborated here with respect to the liquor effects on the human body; The ojas is the constant energy source of the body which may get affected by the liquor intoxication leading to perplexity which is commonly observed due to liquor and poison. The treatments prescribed in this chapter for intoxication are aimed to establish the consciousness and improve the energy which eventually will maintain the vigor.

Keywords: Madya, Madatyaya, Oja, Visha, liquor, intoxication, personified liquor.

Introduction

The state of Moha, that is, perplexity and delusion till the loss of consciousness is common due to the effects of poison and also due to liquor. Therefore, the chapter for the treatment of madatyaya or drunkenness has been placed after the chapter on poison. Similarly, the moha occurs due to increased tama, which is associated with the quality of kapha. Therefore, the line of treatment for increased tama is equally essential in the visha chikitsa and madatyaya.

Alcohol is classed under sedative hypnotic drugs, leading to depression of Central Nervous System (CNS). Madya, by its etymology, means the intoxicating drink, gladdening, vinous, spirited drink, liquor, ale, wine or alcoholic beverage. Each of these words has specific meaning in particular context. Sometimes, only alcohol is the word used to represent the madya, but it is the chemical name and therefore may not always reflect the drinks made up of various ingredients including alcohol. Alcoholic beverage is the term which is quite inclusive for almost all types of madya, which are further differentiated as soft and hard or according to the concentration and type of the beverage. Generally, alcoholic beverage contains 3% to 40% alcohol in it. The alcoholic beverages which are usually distilled are called as spirit or liquor. In today's context, beer, wine, cider are not the distilled alcoholic beverages while the rest whisky, rum, brandy, vodka,tequila are all distilled alcoholic beverages.

Liquor is the word derived from liquorice, which is sweet in nature and most of the traditional alcoholic beverages described in this chapter are predominantly sweet, therefore the word liquor has been used for madya in this chapter; which does not essentially mean distilled drinks only in the present context. Perhaps, distilled alcoholic beverages were hardly common in use in ancient days, though the people of that era knew the distillation methods quite well; which was practiced in manufacturing of drugs. Liquor, certainly has advantages but these advantages can be experienced with limited quantity consumption only. It is the source of food energy, mainly due to its carbohydrate content. Consumption of alcoholic beverage potentiates the insulin reaction to glucose in humans.Needs citation It prevents carbohydrate and fat oxidation by converting carbohydrates consumed by an individual to fats. Liquor has its role on digestion depending upon its use before or after meal consumption.

This chapter emphasizes on quantity of liquor and type of liquor which is suitable for the prakriti (body type) of the individual. The properties of liquor vary with respect to the type of manufacturing process. At lower doses it acts as stimulant, causing euphoria and talkativeness; while with high doses it leads to drowsiness and ultimately unconsciousness. Upon consumption it gets absorbed rapidly by stomach and small intestine 20% and 80% respectively; to feel the effect within 5 to 10 minutes and peak effect by 90 minutes. The feeling of effect usually depends upon the quantity and the food taken before, during, and / or after consumption of the liquor. Presently, the effect is correlated to the Blood Alcohol Levels (BAC) of an individual. The BAC depends upon various factors which are: capacity of liver to metabolize the liquor, food interaction, concentration of the alcoholic beverage, duration of consumption, body type of the consumer-lean or obese, age, gender, ethnicity, and frequency of consumption. All these factors have been discussed methodically and at length in this chapter.

The health effects of liquor consumption are observed in two ways as they appear; short term effects or immediate effects and long term effects or late effects. The ojas (the vigor), reflects the short term as well as long term effects, if liquor is consumed beyond the prescribed limit. The ojas is quite dynamic phenomenon of human body, which is said to have similar properties like milk; which indicates the productive benefits to the body. The alcoholic beverages possess exact opposite properties to the ojas, and excess drinking can also cause suppression of ojas leading to intoxication and death with complete obliteration of ojas. The purpose of describing and discussing ojas here indicates the importance to conserve the ojas in the treatment of madatyaya (alcoholism). Most of the formulations prescribed here directly or indirectly lead to enhancement of ojas to achieve conscious state.

Liquor prepared by multiple ingredients carry multiple qualities and multiple actions, characterized by advantages and disadvantages. It is like ambrosia; for the one who drinks as per the standard guidelines, in optimum quantity, at suitable time, with advisable diet, as per the capacity and with exhilaration. On the contrary, it will be like poison for the one who indulges in excessive drinking any kind of liquor, and who have excess dryness in body and follows excess exertion. [26-28]

The madya (liquor) affects heart by counteracting the ojas (the vital essence of body ) and its ten qualities with the ten qualities of (the liquor) itself.

Laghu (agile), ushna (hot), teekshna (sharply acting), sukshma (tiny), amla (sour), vyavayi (pervading), ashu (fast acting), ruksha (arid), vikashi (expanding), vishada (non-slimy) are the ten qualities of the liquor.

Guru (heavy), sheeta (cool), mridu (soft), shlakshna (smooth), bahala (viscous), madhura (sweet), sthira (stable), prasanna (lucid), pichhila (slimy), snigdha (unctous) are the ten qualities of ojas.

Liquor counteracts the qualities of ojas by its own qualities- it counteracts heaviness with agility, coolness with heat, sweetness with sourness, softness with sharpness, lucidity with fast action, unctuousness with roughness , stability with the ability to pervade, smoothness by expanding, slimy by non-slimy, viscous by tiny qualities.

This leads to agitation of mental strength that is dependent on oja and results in perplexity.

The heart is the site for the channels of the rasa, vata and others, sattva (mental strength), buddhi (intellect), indriya (senses), aatman (self) and primary ojas (vital essence). The excess drinking of liquor and gradual impediment of ojas affects the heart and the dhatus located at the heart.[29-36]

The early stage of intoxication starts when it spreads up to the heart but ojas is not disturbed; in the middle stage ojas gets disturbed and in the later stage there is severe disturbance to the ojas.

Consumption of liquor prepared by the flour does not affect ojas severely due to lack of (harmful) qualities like expanding property, dryness/roughness, and non-sliminess.[37-38]

The heart overwhelmed with the qualities of liquor exhilaration, delight, thirst, sexual pleasure and other rajas, tamas disorders leads to the state of infatuation and sleep due to over-drinking. This derailment due to liquor is called as mada (intoxication). [39-40]

There are three stages of intoxication after consumption of liquor known as first, middle and late stages as described with following symptoms:

The early stage is exhilarating, delighting, reflecting the qualities of the food and the drink, invokes instrumental and vocal music, amusement and anecdotes. It neither affects the intellect and memory nor lead to the incapability of the senses. The pattern of sleep and awakening is restored and overall, a delighting phase.

In the mid stage memory gets affected (transiently), causes confusions, distinct speech turns to indistinct, relevant or irrelevant talkativeness, irrelevant movements, rambling postures, food, drink and speech.

The individual with rajas and tamas predominance, who has intoxicated to cross the mid stage, but yet not achieved the late stage behaves nastily and inappropriately without any consideration.

Who is being wise enough to enter the stage of intoxication causing psychosis, insanity leading to the increasingly imperfect path to the troublesome consciousness?

With attaining the third stage, the individual becomes static like a torn wood, with mind occupied by narcosis and confusion; similar to a dead but still alive.

The individual does neither identify the pleasant senses nor friends. He even does not recognize the reason of pleasure for which the liquor has been consumed.

He proceeds to a stage where the identification of right or wrong, happiness or sorrow, desirable or undesirable in the universe is not recognizable.

He will become hated and non acceptable among the people, and because of addiction will consequently attain a stage of painful diseases afterwards.[41-51]

The credit, in this life and in life after death and utmost credit in salvation depends upon the meditation state of mind of all human beings.

The liquor causes significant agitation of the mind like a storm causes to a tree. An ignorant person being influenced by rajas and tamas gets addicted to the liquor goes willingly towards the major defects and major diseases.

Intoxicated by the liquor, affecting the sattvik qualities, the person becomes blind through alcoholism and addicted to the liquor; consequently gets deprived of all credits.

Liquor causes perplexity, phobia, grief, rage, death along with the psychosis, intoxication, loss of consciousness, epilepsy and spasm of tendons.

In case of only loss of memory everything is reprehensible; therefore those who know disadvantages of liquor intentionally stay away from it.

The defects mentioned due to the liquor are definite and certain, when drunk in undesired manner, in excess quantity by ignoring the standard method of drinking.

But liquor by nature is similar to the food. It causes disorders when consumed improperly; while it is like amritam (elixir) when consumed properly. Food is like the vitality of life for the human beings; but the same may be fatal if ingested improperly. The poison is fatal, but it can be rasayana if used sensibly.[52-60]

The liquor shall always be consumed with understanding of six triads of the food, drink, age, disease, strength, and time; as well as tridosha and three psyches (described in earlier chapters).

Sensible planning of the eight triads is called as yukti, for consumption of liquor without causing any disorders.

The person predominant in sattva quality enjoys all the advantages of the liquor without affecting the observance of the virtue and the wealth.

Generally, the psyches are stimulated in the first stage of intoxication, during the second stage the psyches descends towards the subconscious level and in the last stage gets in complete loss of consciousness.

The rain stimulates growth of the crops and fire exposes the nature of the gold. The liquor in humans performs both the functions. Superior, average and inferior is the types of human character, similar to the fire; the liquor expresses the nature of psyche of the human.[68-73]

Aromatic flowers, garlands, music, good company, with delicious food and drink, clean and engaged in favorite conversation, with relaxed drinking, joyful, delighted, and contribution to desired intoxication, promoting exhilaration, pleasure, and not indulging third stage of the intoxication is known as sattvika drinking.

Generally, defectiveness does not occur with the drinking of liquor in sattvika way. Usually, intoxicating effects do not take the person with strong sattva towards defectiveness.

The rajas way of drinking is perhaps with momentary kind or unkind talks, clean or unclean, with varied colors and teeming with the bad ailments.

The tamas way of drinking is devoid of exhilaration, pleasure and gossip; dissatisfied with food and end up with excessive daze, rage and sleepiness.

While drinking, one should know the people following sattvika, rajasika and tamasika way of drinking and try to be at distance from such companions due to whom one may suffer by bad effects of liquor consumption.[74-79]

When sharply acting, hot, sour and liquor that cause burning sensation is consumed in excess quantity, the excited chyle is burnt and becomes alkaline in nature. It leads to the internal burning sensation, fever, thirst, confusions, giddiness and narcosis. To pacify these symptoms, intake of liquor is only advisable.

Alkali (thus produced within body) gets neutralized in combination of acid and the liquor is superior among the acidic substances. The remaining qualities of liquor are as below.

Liquor is sour with four contributory tastes, such as sweet, astringent, bitter and pungent. These added with the ten qualities described earlier summed to fourteen which exist in the liquor. Among all the sour substances the liquor is superior.[112-116]

Therapeutic emesis and fasting can successfully treat kaphaja alcoholism.

Water boiled with hribera, bala, prishniparni, kantakari, or boiled and cooled water with these herbs with dry ginger shall be given in thirsty due to kaphaja madatyaya.

Water boiled with duralabha , musta or musta, parpata or only musta which metabolizes the toxins; shall only be used for drinking in all types of alcoholism. This is harmless and pacifies thirst and fever.

Liquor made up of sharkara or honey or old arishta or sidhu mixed with the honey shall be administered in nirama phase on desired time.

Food prepared of barley or wheat added with arid parched grain flour, yavani and dry ginger with soup of arid vegetable or with horse gram, well dried radish; the soup being clear and less in quantity, agile, spiced, sour with less ghee shall be given.

Sour soup of patola, soup of amalaka added with several pungent shall be given with barley food. In the same way, soured soup of trikatu or soup mixed with amlavetasa, arid meat, soup of goat or soured meat soup of jangala animals shall be given. Meat roasted in a plate or in an earthen plate without adding any liquid and added with pungent, sour, and salt shall be consumed along with madhu (a type of liquor).

Meat roasted while adding ample of black pepper, matulunga juice, other pungents in ample quantity, yavani and dry ginger and souring with pomegranate shall be consumed with hot pupa and plenty of fresh ginger pieces according to the agni on proper time followed by drinking discoursed liquor in kaphaja madatyaya.

Sauvarchala, jeeraka, vrikshamla, amlavetasa each one part, twak, ela, maricha each half part and sugar one part; all together powdered to formulate ashtanga lavana is an excellent appetizer and cleanser for strotas; shall be administered in kaphaja madatyaya.

This formulation made into liquid by addition of sweet and sour juices in optimum quantity shall be advised as adjuvant to the preparation of wheat and barley as well as meat to make more palatable.

The whitish seedless grapes added with trikatu shall be pounded with the juice of matulunga or pomegranate and added with sauvarchala, ela, maricha, jeeraka, twak, and yavani with honey, made into raga which is the best for relishing and appetite.

Similar preparation is recommended for raga of karavi prepared by adding vinegar and (matysyandika) solidified juice of sugarcane, which is appetizer and digestive.

Ragas can be prepared individually by the pulp of amalaka (Indian Gooseberry), adding dhanyaka (coriander seeds), sauvarchala, jeeraka, karavi and maricha (Black pepper) along with jaggery and madhu(honey); so that it becomes clear, sour and sweet; which makes food palatable and easy to digest.

Madatyaya predominant in kapha gets pacified early by the use of arid, hot food and drinks, hot water bath, physical exercise, agile things, awakening till late night, anointing, scrubbing of the body which improves prana (vitality) and complexion.

Kaphaja madatyaya gets quickly pacified with use of heavy and even light weight garments, with samvahana (deep massage) created contraction (and relaxation) with warmth, pleasurable to the body by well trained female masseur. [164-188]

Beautiful gardens, ponds with lotus flowers, good food and drinks, pleasing companion, garlands, perfumes, clean clothing, melodious music, amusing gathering, liberal anecdotes, laughter, singing and beloved submissive women pacify madatyaya.

Liquor cannot lead to intoxication without distressing mind and affecting the body, therefore exhilaration treatment (by above measures) shall be observed (to stabilize mind and body).[191-194]

In case madatyaya does not get pacified with these explained regimens in methods of liquor consumption, milk shall be prescribed.

With withdrawal of liquor, when kapha is diminished and debility and agility occurs due to fasting, and purifying metabolism of toxins, alleviating measures and vata pitta get dominant in the person wreaked with liquor, the milk acts as a boon like the rains for the tree in intense summer.

When the disease is removed by the use of milk and strength is regained the use of milk shall be discontinued and liquor consumption can be resumed in smaller quantities gradually.[195-198]

Tattva Vimarsha (Fundamental Principles)

• The degree of effect and duration of intoxication due to liquor consumption will be extensive if the person consumes liquor similar to his constitution. The principle which has been described in the first chapter of Sutra Sthana emphasizes the use of opposite (viruddha guna) quality substances to pacify the agitated state of dosha. Therefore, it is advised to drink liquor of opposite quality for respective (prakriti)constitution.
• Liquor prepared by multiple ingredients carry multiple qualities and multiple actions, characterized by advantages and disadvantages.
• Liquor by nature is similar to food. It is like ambrosia for the one who drinks as per the guidelines, in optimum quantity, at suitable time, with advisable diet, as per the capacity and with exhilaration. On the contrary, it will be like poison for the one who indulges in excessive drinking any kind of liquor.
• Appropriate madya for vatika person is that which is prepared predominantly by jaggery and flour. For kapha and pitta predominant person madya prepared by grapes and honey is appropriate (to drink) respectively.
• Liquor counteracts the qualities of ojas (vital essence of body).
• It affects the mental strength, intellect and senses.
• The liquor shall always be consumed with understanding of six triads of the food, drink, age, disease, strength, and time; as well as tridosha and three psyches (described in earlier chapters).
• While drinking, one should know the people following sattvika, rajasika and tamasika way of drinking and try to be at distance from such companions due to whom one may suffer by bad effects of liquor consumption.
• Alcoholism, of all types is tridoshaja. Therefore, the dosha observed to be affected predominantly shall be treated initially. The treatment of alcoholism shall begin with the site of kapha.
• Vata obstructed in strotas due to dosha vitiated by liquor causes intense pain in head, bones and joints. In such condition for dissolving dosha, specific liquor should be administered since it has quality of quick absorption, sharpness and hot in spite of other remedial measure.
• The liquor clears the obstruction in the strotas, carminates the vata, improves delight, stimulates the agni and gets habituated by regular drinking.
• Once the strotas in chest get clear, carmination of vata, the diseases due to alcoholism also disappear.
• Directives for drinking:
• An individual of vatika prakriti shall imbibe madya after abhyanga (massage), utsadana (rubbing with herbs), bathing, dressed up, holy incense, anulepanam (unguent) and unctuous hot food.
• An individual of paittika prakriti shall undergo various cooling regimens; sweet, unctuous & cooling food to not get affected by madya, the liquor.
• An individual of kaphaja prakriti shall imbibe madya (the liquor) with warm regimens; drink yava (barley), wheat, meat of wild animals along with black pepper.

Vidhi Vimarsha (Applied Inferences )

Sura and its varieties in present era

Sura, is the liquor prepared with shalidhanya which is nutritionally superior type of rice grain. Sura, if consumed as per the standard directives of limited consumption, leads to pleasure; otherwise it leads to the undesirable conditions like hangover, intoxication and the state of unconsciousness.

Depending upon the methods of preparation followed alcoholic drinks are of different types like sura, madhu and maitreya. The term sautramani has two meanings in different contexts, the former emphasizes the use of alcohol for the purpose of oblation, while the later as sacrificial soma.

The advice to use utensils made up of gold and silver for serving liquor is due to their property of being highly non-reactive. In present era metals have been replaced by glass, which is also an inert substance to serve liquor. The principle is to serve liquor in utensils made up of inert substances.

Qualities of good liquor

The liquor consumption must be in optimal amount suitable to individual’s body constitution and should not cause vitiation of dosha.

Good liquor is prepared from multiple ingredients of varied qualities which have diverse actions to help regulate the three doshas and prevent their vitiation, which may occur in case of use of single ingredient. Sushruta mentioned that the increase or decrease of the dosha is mainly influenced by the ingredients (dravya) of liquor. Therefore, manufacturing liquor with multi-component of varied quality substances will help to maintain state of homeostasis.

Features of intoxication

Hangovers are a frequent, though unpleasant, experience among people who drink to intoxication. Multiple possible factors to cause hangover state by liquor have been investigated, and evidence suggests that hangover symptoms depend upon its effects on urine production, the state of gastrointestinal tract, blood sugar concentrations, sleep patterns, and biological rhythms. In addition, researchers postulate that effects related to alcohol withdrawal depend upon, alcohol metabolism, biologically active non alcohol compounds in beverages; the use of other drugs; certain personality traits; and a family history of alcoholism may contribute to the hangover condition as shown in table 2 below.

Table 1: Symptoms of hangover

Role of olfaction in intoxication

Alcoholic beverages provoke massive orthonasal and retronasal stimulations (Bragulat et al., 2008) which constitute strong appetitive cues (Bienkowski et al., 2004) and might be involved in causing alcohol-dependence as they rapidly lead to conditioned alcohol-seeking behaviors (Pautassi et al., 2009). Olfactory stimulations elicit strong drinking desires (Schneider et al., 2001), this olfactory craving being even stronger than those provoked by visual–auditory cues, particularly during withdrawal (Kareken et al., 2004; Little et al., 2005) and thus being potentially involved in relapse.

The olfactory system relates to cognitive and emotional brain regions, and exploring olfaction might improve the understanding of emotional-cognitive deficits in alcohol- dependence (up to now explore with visio–auditory stimulations). Olfaction is indeed directly connected with limbic (Soudry et al., 2011) and fronto-temporal regions (Rolls, 2004).

The orbitofrontal cortex is a crucial area in this perspective, being simultaneously involved in emotional, executive, and olfactory processing (Rolls, 2008). Strong correlations between olfactory and cognitive abilities have been shown (Purdon, 1998; Schubert et al., 2008; Sohrabi et al., 2012), underlining their common cerebral basis. Olfaction thus constitutes an interesting way to renew the exploration of emotional-executive deficits in alcohol-dependence.

In view of the above research, the consumption of liquor in pleasant atmosphere, with perfumes, essence and garlands has a reason to avoid false stimulation of olfactory nerve and to maintain the consciousness during and after liquor intake.

The intention of using perfumes etc is based upon the understanding of its effect on olfaction and there by on the cerebral functions; which otherwise termed as gandha-jnana, meaning knowledge of olfaction. The most preferred aromas will help maintaining the psycho-neuro axis well in control and it prevents the intoxicating effects on human body.

Factors affecting addictive behavior: Addictive behavior associated with alcoholism is characterized by compulsive preoccupation with obtaining alcohol, loss of control over consumption, and development of tolerance and dependence, as well as impaired social and occupational functioning. Like other addictive disorders, alcoholism is characterized by chronic vulnerability to relapse after cessation of drinking.

More recently, increasing attention has been directed toward the understanding of neurobiological and environmental factors in susceptibility to relapse.

The BACs showed in the following tables are the maximum attainable concentrations for a specific amount of alcohol consumed.

Table 4: Factors determining maximum BAC

The calculations are based on Widmark’s Formula:

A = Amount of alcohol measured in grams

P = Mass of the individual in kilograms

C = Blood Alcohol Concentration in gram/100ml

R = Distribution Factor (f=0.7 =0.6)

10 = Conversion Factor from g/1000 ml to g/100ml

A = P x C x R x 10

In a fat person the r-factor will be less than in a muscular one. Theoretically a fat person with the same mass as a muscular one will become more intoxicated on the same amount of alcohol consumed over the same period. (alcohol is not fat soluble but water soluble)

The given blood alcohol concentration is a reflection of the minimum alcohol that was absorbed in the gut.

It does not reflect the:

1. Alcohol remaining in the
2. Alcohol already metabolized
3. Alcohol excreted in the urine and still in the bladder
4. Alcohol perspired
5. Alcohol exhaled

Alcoholism jointly leads to olfactory and memory source impairment and these two categories of deficits are associated. These results strongly support the proposition that olfactory and confabulation measures both index orbitofrontal functioning, and suggests that olfaction could become a reliable cognitive marker in psychiatric disorders.

Table 5: ICD classification (ICD 11 – Alcohol)

Y91 categories in ICD-10	Evidence of alcohol involvement determined by level of intoxication
Y91.0	Mild alcohol intoxication; Smell of alcohol on breath, slight behavioural disturbance in functions and responses, or slight difficulty in coordination
Y91.1	Moderate alcohol intoxication; Smell of alcohol on breath, moderate behavioral disturbance in functions and responses, or moderate difficulty in coordination
Y91.2	Severe alcohol intoxication; Severe disturbances in functions and responses, severe difficulty in coordination, or impaired ability to cooperate
Y91.3	Very severe alcohol intoxication; Very severe disturbance in functions and responses, very severe difficulty in coordination, or loss of ability to cooperate
Y91.4	Alcohol involvement, not otherwise specified;Suspected alcohol involvement

Effects of alcohol

Alcohol consumption can interfere with the function of all parts of the gastrointestinal tract. Acute alcohol ingestion induces changes in the motility of the esophagus and stomach that favor gastro-esophageal reflux and, probably, the development of reflux esophagitis.

Alcohol abuse may lead to damage of the gastric mucosa, including hemorrhagic lesions. Beverages with low alcohol content stimulate gastric acid secretion, whereas beverages with high alcohol content do not. In the small intestine, alcohol inhibits the absorption of numerous nutrients. The importance of these absorption disorders for the development of nutritional disturbances in alcoholics, however, is unclear. In alcoholics with other digestive disorders (e.g., advanced liver disease or impaired pancreatic function), impaired digestion likely is more significant. Acute alcohol consumption also damages the mucosa in the upper region of the small intestine and may even lead to the destruction of the tips of the villi.

Qualities of different types of liquors and uses

The Ashtang Hridaya has elaborated peculiarities of liquor prepared by various sources. The superiority though has been mentioned; the liquor prepared by respective components have specific qualities, which can be considered therapeutically important.

Table 6: Types of liquors

Time needed to absorb and metabolize different amounts of alcohol

Factors such as food intake and its constituent profile, gender and age have been reported to influence the kinetics of alcohol absorption and metabolism.

It is widely accepted that the rate of alcohol absorption can be decreased by consuming food along with the alcoholic drink. The rate at which alcohol is absorbed depends on how quickly the stomach empties its contents into the intestine.

The higher the dietary fat content, the more time this emptying will require and the longer the process of absorption will take.

One study found that subjects who drank alcohol after a meal that included fat, protein, and carbohydrates, absorbed the alcohol about three times more slowly than when they consumed alcohol on an empty stomach. Need citation

Role of fructose and carbohydrates in alcohol absorption

Rogers et al, showed that carbohydrates significantly increased the rate of alcohol metabolism in fasting humans while protein and fat failed to show the same effect. In this context it is interesting to mention that for a long time (prior to controlled scientific interventions) a common nonscientific experience existed claiming that consumption of honey may shorten the period of alcohol intoxication (honey is an excellent rich source of nutritional fructose). The honey significantly increased blood alcohol disappearance and elimination rates by 32.4 and 28.6 percent, respectively, and reduced the intoxication time (that is, the time taken to attain zero blood alcohol level) and its degree (the peak blood alcohol level) by 30 and 4.4 percent.

Fructose, also known as “fruit Sugar”, is naturally-occurring, is characterized by “clean” non-lingering sweet taste. Fructose is highly soluble, and is characterized by a Relative Sweetening Value (RSV) of 1.1-1.7 (where sucrose = 1.0), depending on temperature and pH.

With regards to the possible mechanism by which fructose accelerates ethanol metabolism, a literature review indicates a possible shift in the metabolism of fructose in the presence of alcohol. This shift has been linked to the production in the liver of NAD+ which facilitates alcohol oxidation. Therefore, in the presence of alcohol, the metabolism of fructose in the liver is diverted from NAD+ to NADH requiring pathways, which in turn generates the NAD+ needed for alcohol oxidation.

Guidelines for treatment of Alcohol-use disorder

An alcohol use disorder is a highly prevalent and disabling condition. It is associated with high rates of medical and psychiatric comorbidity as well as early mortality. The psychiatric diagnoses, alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence has been labelled as alcohol use disorder, in DSM-5. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) defines "at risk" drinking (which suggests that the person is at risk for adverse consequences):

• Greater than 14 drinks per week or 4 drinks per occasion for healthy men under age 65.
• Greater than 7 drinks per week or 3 drinks per occasion for non-pregnant, healthy women under age 65 and healthy men over age 65.

A standard drink contains approximately 0.5 ounces (~30 ml) of alcohol as defined by Department of Health and Human Services and the United States Department of Agriculture. This corresponds to 12 fluid ounce of regular beer, 5 fluid ounce of wine, and 1.5 fluid ounce of 80-proof distilled spirit. Criteria for at-risk drinking may be modified by comorbidities, especially in the older population. Increased mortality risk has been demonstrated for older patients who are at-risk drinkers, as defined by the CARET (Comorbidity-Alcohol Risk Evaluation Tool). Any drinking can be considered “at-risk” for pregnant women, for those who take medications that interact with alcohol, or for those with a health condition that can be caused or exacerbated by alcohol (eg, hepatitis C)[15].

Principles of non-pharmacological treatment in Madatyayaya & Satvavajaya

In madatyayaya the effects of Madya usually have been observed at physical as well as psychological levels. To treat the ill-effects of alcohol physician has to address Psychological aspects on personal. Familial & social level by various settings of counseling with the patient. As per the concept of mind in Ayurveda, Rajas & Tamas are the Dosha, the pathologies related to the mind or psyche and the imbalances in these two doshas lead to simple psychological disorders to complex psychiatric diseases. Satva, on the other hand is the quality of mind, which if dominated, can control the two Raja & Tama. Therefore, Satvavajaya is one of the treatments for Madatyayaya; where controlling of Dharaneeya vega (Urges to be controlled) is recommended to achieve balance in Raja & Tamo guna; which eventually can achieve the balance of mind in Alcohol withdrawal phase.

Conventional aspects of non-pharmacological treatments

Short-term goals of treatment include:

• Encouraging abstinence or reduction of alcohol use
• Promoting participation in counseling programs and mutual help groups
• Increasing pleasant, sober activities
• Involving family, community, and employment resources, including Employee Assistance Programs

Long-term goals include:

• Restoration of self-esteem
• Resolution of alcohol-related social problems
• Improvement in physical health
• Lasting abstinence from alcohol use

Research studies suggest that a small but significant proportion of patients may be able to resume normal or controlled drinking. Controlled drinking is probably more likely for people with a mild disorder (or at-risk drinking) and not for a more severe disorder. Advocates for a “harm reduction” approach as an alternative to abstinence may acknowledge that abstinence is the best outcome, but that not every individual achieves this end, and that controlled drinking for some individuals is an achievable aim which reduces risk to patients.

Principles of pharmacological management in Madatyaya

The qualities of “Oja” are mentioned in this same chapter where the elaboration of madya has been done. The reasoning behind this if tried to understand with Tantrayukti suggests that since the Oja & Madya are opposite in qualities; the treatment of Madatyaya should be done on the guidelines of Ojo-vardhana.

The Madhura rasa among the six tastes has been identified as the one which enhances the Oja and maintains it, as described in Chapter 26th of Sutra sthana (Cha. Su. 26/42(1)). Charaka further in consecutive chapter 27th, mentioned all 12 classes of Dietary components where Madhura rasa dravyas of each class has been mentioned including the plant derived as well as animal derived products.

The medicinal plants of pharmacological importance with madhura rasa & vipaka shall be preferred for treatment of Madatyaya, as per the principle, where the treatment with Viruddha Guna has been advised.

Concept of Santarpana & Alcohol related Malnutrition

Alcohol, if consumed in excess, can cause malnutrition which can lead to nutritional disorders as well as organ damage. The initial phase nutritional imbalances particularly depletion can be very well controlled with the concept of Santarpana, as described by Charaka (Cha.Su. 23/31-38). Various pharmacological, dietary products have been discussed here along with use of liquor prepared from Grain for Santarpana. This principle later used in this chapter 24th, where in some cases treatment of Madatyayaya with Madya itself has been described.

Recent Researches

• In a study on 38 patients suffering from madatyaya,it is observed that Ashtanga lavana is effective followed by vamana (therapeutic emesis).
