When a person drinks heavily on a regular basis, their body becomes accustomed to alcohol and they may experience a number of withdrawal symptoms if the use of alcohol is discontinued; these symptoms can include: anxiety, trembling or shakiness, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, depression, irritability, fatigue, loss of appetite and headache.
According to recent studies, the most beneficial treatment for alcohol addiction in older adults may be education, as many seniors lack information on the dangers of alcohol use.
As many women under age 30 are drinking at levels that could be harmful to their unborn children, and because an estimated 45 percent of all pregnancies in the U.S. are unplanned, the babies of those women who do abuse alcohol may already suffer damage before mother discovers they are pregnant.
How Can I Say No? Resisting peer pressure to drink isn't always easy. But, you have the right to say no, the right not to give a reason why, and the right to just walk away from a situation.
