Alcohol use affects the part of the brain that is located in the upper region; this portion of the brain is where self control and other learned behaviors are stored.
Alcoholism, also known as "alcohol dependence," is a serious medical situation that includes four symptoms: Craving: A strong need, or compulsion, to drink. Loss of control: The inability to limit one's drinking on any given occasion. Physical dependence: Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, occur when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking. Tolerance: The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to "get high."
Women cannot drink the same amount as men even if the weight of both of the individuals is the same, because they metabolize alcohol differently.
40 percent of those who begin consuming alcohol at age 13 or younger develop alcohol dependence later in life.
