=**Mr. Henshaw**=

Mr. Henshaw is a 45-year-old man. He came to the Saint Twist Emergency Room vomiting blood. Doctors found out that he was heavily drinking alcohol since high school. His drinking caused him to lose his job but he is unable to stop. The alcohol poisoned his brain and if he continues drinking, he will be addicted to it. Alcohol causes sickness, infects muscle spasm, and causes __**death**__. Alcohol slows down your central nervous system down and it's probably the most popular drug in the world. If you drink lots of alcohol, you can get alcoholism. (A disease that you get after drinking) Doctors say that adults should only have one glass of alcohol a day and that children shouldn't have any at all. You shouldn't drink alcohol before you are going to drive in your car because then you could forget the directions, fall asleep, or you could drive into a place that you don't know. If you drink too much, you could get sick and die.

It would be good to stop drinking alcohol because then it won’t slow your central nervous system down and your brain wouldn’t be poisoned. He can get a Liver disease called Cirrhosis. When he drinks, the alcohol goes to the blood stream and causing the liver cells to die. So the Liver will stop working and it is really dangerous.

You are vomiting blood because the alcohol in your stomach makes it bleed or there is a tear in small blood vessels in your throat or in your lower esophagus *. This is called Hematemasis. Stomach caner is also known as a Gastric cancer. It can start in any part of your Stomach. Doctors and Scientists don’t know what causes Stomach cancer but there are several possibilities.
