Yes but, even if you have the genetic predisposition to alcoholism, if you do not drink you will not become an alcoholic.

Breathing only becomes impaired from alcohol during alcohol poisoning.

That depends on the amount of damage. Complete liver failure will result in death within hours.

No. If anything, it would thin a bit, since about the only thing that thickens your blood is dehydration, which can be caused by alcohol.

If you're having problems with esophagitis, esophageal reflux, or gastritis, it makes no sense to drink alcohol, which relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, and then take Nexium to counter the effects of that relaxation.

Testimonial from Peggy:

Alcohol poisoning is like any other poison, you can die the first time. You are really asking this question: "If I drink a poison that is known to kill, either by over consumption or long time use can die?" The answer is yes. The only way to avoid this is to moderate your consumption of alcohol and avoid party and binge drinking. See these web sites: (notice I didn't say DON'T DRINK)

Now I will tell you something personal, for everyone that reads this. There was a period in my life when I partied too much. After eight years of daily alcohol abuse, I developed an ailment called pancreatitis. Look it up if you can. It is the most painful ailment you will ever experience besides pancreatic cancer and bone cancer. I survived, but spent months in the hospital over the next two years. Not even morphine could stop the pain. I spent the hours between the momentary relief of the morphine during the attacks hoping I would die. I imagine only burning to death hurts more, but that only hurts for a few minutes.

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. This reflects culture and beliefs rather than genetics. For example, Orthodox Jews have a lower rate than do Reform Jews. And as Irish become assimilated into U.S. society, their rate tends to drop.

No. Alcohol is metabolized by the liver.

It takes approximately twenty-four to forty-eight hours for elevated liver enzymes to return to normal after cessation of alcohol consumption. For smaller individuals, it can take even longer.
