Is it okay to drink when pregnant? No. There is no safe level of alcohol use during pregnancy. Women who are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant should refrain from drinking alcohol. Several conditions, including Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders have been linked to alcohol use during pregnancy. Women of child bearing age should also avoid binge drinking to reduce the risk of unintended pregnancy and potential exposure of a developing fetus to alcohol.
Boys statistically try alcohol for the first time at just 11 years old, while the average age for girls is 13.
A government study published in 2007 found that nearly half of students with "mostly D�''s and F�''s" report binge drinking.
The average adult metabolizes alcohol at a rate of about 8.5 g of alcohol per hour (i.e. about two-thirds of a regular beer). This rate can vary depending on several different factors, including the amount of alcohol that an individual normally drinks, whether they are male and female, liver size, and genetic factors.
