The effects of alcohol ABUSE can include falling over a lot, being an idiot, massive hangover, plus loads of long term health issues. Moderate alcohol consumption is associated with better health and greater longevity than is abstaining from alcohol.

Self-detox from alcohol is extremely dangerous, and can be fatal. We strongly recommend that you be detoxed medically, in an inpatient setting. Un-medicated detox can lead to uncontrollable blood pressure spikes that can cause strokes, and to hallucinations, psychotic episodes and seizures. If you are diabetic, there is the issue of dangerous blood sugar episodes as well, and if you have heart problems the stress could well precipitate a heart attack.

If you are fortunate enough to avoid the effects listed above -- and we would not take the chance -- you may experience sleeplessness, restless feelings, intense up and down moods, and hallucinations, along with possible vertigo and nausea.

The presence of a medical staff and equipment may be vital to your health and safety for such a brave and potentially hazardous undertaking. Do not try to do it alone. Recognizing that alcohol use is a problem in your life is a huge step forward. Don't let pride convince you to do it alone. There is so much help available. Contact your local health department or mental health association for referrals to detoxification facilities in your area. Medical detox can avoid most, if not all of the problems listed, and will leave you in much better shape to make the additional decisions that you will need to consider in order to remain sober.

Barbituates are dangerous because you can circumvent the vomitting with alcohol and go straight to loss of consciousness and death.

I would say about 1 out of 7 people who drink alcohol become alcoholics.

About five percent of drinkers become alcoholic. However, the proportion differs by ethnicity. For example, few Jews become alcoholic whereas a substantial proportion of Irish do so.

One standard drink (in the US*) is equal to 0.6 ounces (about 14 grams) of pure alcohol, the average amount that the human liver can metabolize in one hour. The actual amount of time depends on the health of the individual's liver, and on gender. Women do not metabolize alcohol as efficiently or rapidly as men.

The relationship of a standard drink to blood alcohol content also depends on the size of the person, their body mass index, and of course gender. The general rule of thumb is that 2 "Standard Drinks*" in the first hour will raise your BAC about to 0.07%, and one "Standard Drink" per hour thereafter will maintain that level.

*The amount of alcohol in a standard drink varies from country to country.
