Youth who drink alcohol are more likely to experience death from alcohol poisoning.
The physical symptoms of alcohol dependence include an overwhelming compulsion to drink, the inability to stop or control one's drinking, and the need to drink larger amounts of alcohol in order to get the same effect, which is referred to as developing a tolerance.
Naltrexone is a drug that was approved by the American FDA in 1994 to help alcoholics who want to stop drinking but have trouble with relapse; this drug is reported to work on the endorphin system of the brain and is currently available in 35 countries.
