Many people who apparently die from overdoses of sleeping pills (barbiturates), actually die from a combination of alcohol and the medication.
When alcohol is consumed into the body it is converted to acetaldehyde in the liver. Acetaldehyde is a toxic substance that can be harmful to the body. For the normal drinker, the liver quickly coverts acetaldehyde into a substance called acetic acid. Acetic acid does not have the same toxic or harmful qualities as acetaldehyde. The body then converts acetic acid into carbon dioxide and water which is released through the body�'s urinary and respiratory systems.
According to the 2009 National Survey on Drug Use and Health, the rate of alcohol consumption increases with increasing age from 2.4% at age 12 to 22.4% at age 16, and 56.7% at age 20.
In 2009, 10% of high school students reported driving a car or other vehicle during the past 30 days when they had been under the influence of alcohol.
