Alcoholism

Adolescents can show impairment in cognitive functions shortly after beginning to use alcohol, with effects typically becoming noticeable after just one to two drinks. This impairment can impact things like decision-making, memory, and concentration, and may worsen with continued use. Regular alcohol use during adolescence may also have long-term effects on brain development and cognitive abilities.

Alcohol detoxification can be dangerous and should be done in a hospital under the careful eye of trained professionals. Since alcohol is physically addicting, stopping cold turkey can lead to hallucinations, shakes and seizures. Once the physical withdrawal is over (about 2-3 days) then therapy is needed for the mental addiction. This can be achieved through rehab and AA. It is a daily struggle for most addicts and alcoholics.

Alcohol abuse is frowned upon for good reason. Problems can arise as a result of alcohol abuse such as violence, vehicle accidents resulting in death or injury, neglect of family, and health problems. The important thing to do is differentiate the behavior from the person engaging in the behavior. The behavior is self-destructive and can also hurt others, but the frequent abuser of alcohol has a problem. Alcoholism is a disease. So it is not right to look down upon or hate the person; only their behavior. This does not mean that their behavior should not have unpleasant consequences. After all, consequences will hopefully move them to seek treatment and recover.

Alcohol can lower inhibitions and impair judgment, leading some individuals to exhibit aggressive or mean behavior while intoxicated.

It is difficult to provide an exact number as the data varies, but alcohol-related deaths among Aboriginal peoples in some countries are disproportionately high compared to non-Indigenous populations.

Hundreds of teens die each year in alcohol-related crashes. However, the Partnership for Safe Driving reports that both speeding and distracted driving are much more serious problems for teens than drunken driving. According to official statistics collected by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, about seven out of every ten teens killed in traffic crashes had not been drinking at all.

76,000? The CDC reports that around 35,000 died of liver disease related to alcohol, and another 41,000 or so died in alcohol related car accidents. MADD reports around 13,000 auto deaths with a BAC of over 8%- apparently the CDC is not so lenient. The Florida Medical Examiners Commission reports 4179 DUI alcohol deaths in Florida, and 466 alcohol overdoses, but does not mention cirrhosis and liver cancer. With the 4179 figure in Florida reported by medical examiners, I extrapolate that the CDC number is probably more on the mark nationwide than the MADD numbers. I would guess that the figures are underreported a bit, because many families refuse autopsies for their obviously drunken relatives. These figures also don't reflect criminal acts like murders and suicides, many of which are directly alcohol related. And by the way, in Florida, compared to the above figures for alcohl deaths, marijuana deaths came in at 0- that is, Zero, zip, nada, none. Except for Bob, who died of a heart attack from obesity, in front of his computer, with Cheeto stains on his private parts and a roach smoldering in the ashtray.

Driving drunk affects your driving several ways. First of all, your thought processes and reflexes are slowed down, so you are not able to react to the road or anything else around you as quickly as you could sober. Further, your depth perception is off. This means that you could hit a car/person/etc. in front of you or not stop at a stop sign or red light simply because you don't realize how close it is to your vehicle. This combination of slow reflexes and bad judgment greatly affect your ability to drive safely. I don't know why you're asking this question, but if it's because you're seriously considering drinking and driving, DON'T!
