The high prevalence of binge drinking among high school students affirms that most youths who drink alcohol do so to the point of intoxication.
New brain scan research shows that alcohol affects decision-making and judgment by reducing activity in the frontal lobes, where such functions reside; it appears that prior alcohol induced impaired function of these same brain areas leads to alcohol dependence, making it almost impossible for the person to exert conscious will over whether they can stop drinking or not in the absence of treatment.
The consequences of alcohol misuse are serious-in many cases, life threatening. Heavy drinking can increase the risk for certain cancers, especially those of the liver, esophagus, throat, and larynx (voice box).
Many alcoholics have such a high tolerance that they are rarely drunk even though they may drink a great deal in the beginning stages of alcoholism; in the later stages of alcoholism, the individual may lose their ability to contain large quantities of liquor.
