  • Alcohol intoxication can be harmful for a variety of reasons, including: Impaired brain function resulting in poor judgment, reduced reaction time, loss of balance and motor skills, or slurred speech Dilation of blood vessels causing a feeling of warmth but resulting in rapid loss of body heat Increased risk of certain cancers, stroke, and liver diseases (e.g., cirrhosis), particularly when excessive amounts of alcohol are consumed over extended periods of time Damage to a developing fetus if consumed by pregnant women Increased risk of motor-vehicle traffic crashes, violence, and other injuries Coma and death can occur if alcohol is consumed rapidly and in large amounts
  • A recent study found that 31 percent of college students met criteria for alcohol abuse and 6 percent for alcohol dependence in the past 12 months.
  • Approximately 8% of all yearly ER visits for illness or injuries are associated with alcohol.
  • The main difference between alcoholism (pathological alcohol dependence) and willful alcohol abuse is whether a person can stop drinking at will; if they cannot, then there is "impaired control" over their alcohol use, which is the primary indicator of an alcohol addiction.
