In terms of helping behavior during incidents related to alcohol abuse, research by the National Center on Addiction and Substance abuse reported that women are much more likely to engage in protective behaviors to help a person that is in trouble with alcohol than men.
Over 30% of all heavy drinkers develop alcoholic hepatitis; symptoms include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever and jaundice; this condition can last for years in its mild form and eventually damage the liver.
Alcohol use depresses the nerves that control involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex (which prevents choking); a fatal dose of alcohol may eventually stop these functions.
What do you mean by heavy drinking? For men, heavy drinking is typically defined as consuming an average of more than 2 drinks per day. For women, heavy drinking is typically defined as consuming an average of more than 1 drink per day.
