Alcohol Addiction
Alcohol is abused by almost every age and socio-economic group. Alcohol is a central nervous system depressant that is rapidly absorbed from the stomach and small intestine into the bloodstream.
Alcohol affects every organ in the drinker's body and can damage a developing fetus. Intoxication can impair brain function and motor skills; heavy use can increase risk of certain cancers, stroke, and liver disease.
In 2008, 51.6% of Americans age 12 and older had used alcohol at least once in the 30 days prior to being surveyed. 23.3% had binged (5+ drinks within 2 hours); and 23.3% drank heavily (5+ drinks on 5+ occasions). Source: National Survey on Drug Use and Health
