Alcoholism generally takes about 15 years to develop, but can happen much quicker in adolescents and young adults.
When a pregnant woman consumes alcohol, it passes through the placenta to the growing fetus. Because a developing baby's body breaks down alcohol much more slowly than an adult's, a fetus's blood alcohol level can rise much higher than its mother's and stay elevated longer.
Studies show that adolescent and young adult drinkers are particularly likely to drink alcohol heavily with the intention of getting drunk�''often every time they drink.
Alcohol doesn't contain any type of beneficial nutrients for your body. Over a long period of time, you will see the organs become negatively affected as a result. The most predominant area where this is noticeable will be the liver and its functions since it metabolizes alcohol. Soon you will see the liver cells destroyed and it will not have the ability to regenerate these cells. It leads to progressive inflammatory injury, which moves towards cirrhosis of the liver.
