Alcohol is the basis of wine, beer and spirits. Taken in moderation, with a meal, or in the company of friends, it can he regarded as one of the pleasure of life. But as with any drug, there are dangers as well as advantages associated with alcohol. Alcohol is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and intestine and soon appears in the blood. As the blood circulation through the lungs, alcohol diffuses into the air in the alveoli. The higher the concentration of alcohol in the blood, the higher the concentration in the breath.
This is the basis of the breathalyzer test used by the police in motorists suspected of driving while under the influence of drink. Alcohol can also be measured in the blood. It is metabolized (broken down) by the liver so that after 6 to 8 hours none can be detected in the blood or breath.

There are two distinct kinds of lawyer in Britain. One of these is a solicitor. Everybody who needs a lawyer has to go to one of these. They handle most legal matters for their clients, including the drawing up of documents (such as wills, divorce papers and contracts), communicating with other parties, and presenting their clients’ cases in magistrates’ courts. However, only since 1994 have solicitors been allowed to present cases in higher courts. If the trial is to be heard in one of these the solicitor normally hires the services of the other kind of lawyer – a barrister. The only function of barristers is to present cases in court.

In a gas atom like hydrogen, when the vibration increases the heat makes the atom expand more and lose its electron. The hydrogen atom becomes two separate charged particles: proton (+) and electron (−). Each of these particles is called plasma – a positive plasma and a negative plasma.
Plasma is not only produced by heat but also by particles bombarding the atoms. We can find plasma produced by heat in the sun, and plasma produced by particles bombarding the atoms in the ionosphere. We can also find artificial plasma during electric welding and inside fluorescent lamps.
Interstellar space, the stars, and most of the universe is plasma. our planet is a tiny mass in a sea of plasma.
