According to research by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), the brain continues to develop into the early to mid 20's; thus exposing the brain to alcohol during that period may impair brain development.
A major problem in regard to alcoholism in the United States is the lack of recognition of alcohol problems and intervention in regard to patients by physicians and other medical clinicians throughout this country.
The lethal limit of alcohol in the blood for most people is around 0.40%; this amount of alcohol is roughly the equivalent of 12 drinks (for women) or 16 drinks (for men). When an individual is also taking medications such as antihistamines, opioid pain-killers, or sedatives, the lethal limit for alcohol is lowered considerably.
When an individual has developed a physical dependence on alcohol, withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, will occur when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking.
