An estimated 32 percent (658,263) of all drug abuse Emergency Department visits in 2009 involved the use of alcohol, either alone or in combination with another drug.
Because alcohol is a depressant in the body, high doses of the drug can reduce cell activity; when alcohol is removed from the cells, they recover in a way that produces a change toward stimulation. The body's attempt to produce "normalcy" often leads to over-stimulation, which is known as withdrawal ;thus, binge drinking often leads to a "hangover" (headache, increased stomach acidity, early morning awakening, etc.), and long -term heavy drinking often leads to the "shakes", delirium (hallucinations), and in some instances, seizures.
Excessive alcohol consumption is more common among women who have never married, are living unmarried with a partner, or are divorced or separated.
It is the amount of alcohol that is consumed that affects an individual the most, not the type of alcoholic drink; a person may drink a 12 ounce beer or an one and a half ounce shot--both have about the same amount of alcohol.
