The highest prevalence of binge drinking was linked to young adults that are between the ages of 18 and 25, with the peak rate occurring at age 21.
Genetics: Alcoholism is a complex health issue. Therefore, there are likely to be many genes involved in increasing a person's risk for alcoholism. Scientists are searching for these genes, and have found areas on chromosomes where they are probably located. Powerful new techniques may permit researchers to identify and measure the specific contribution of each gene to the complex behaviors associated with heavy drinking. This research will provide the basis for new medications to treat alcohol-related problems.
Drinking alcohol can affect an individual's self control, because it depresses your central nervous system and lowers inhibitions and impairs judgment; drinking can lead to risky behaviors, such as drunk driving and having unprotected sex.
Alcohol binge drinking is a risk factor for sexual assault, especially among young women in college settings. Approximately 1 in 20 college women are sexually assaulted each year.
