Alcoholics, do not process alcohol as effectively as non-alcoholics. The alcoholic�'s liver converts alcohol into acetaldehyde at twice the normal rate. At the same time, their ability to convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid is much slower than non-alcoholics. Consequently, the higher concentrations of acetaldehyde can damage liver cells, cause inflammation and exhaust the body�'s immune system. The liver�'s ability to absorb nutrients is compromised. Unfortunately, the damage is not restricted to the liver. An abundance of acetaldehyde will eventually enter the bloodstream which can affect other organs in the body such as the heart or pancreas. It can also affect the brain. The brain, like most body organs, is vulnerable to injury from alcohol consumption. Acetaldehyde can block proper brain function such as the firing of neurotransmitters which affect one�'s mood, memory, and behavior.
Blood alcohol concentration (BAC) is the amount of alcohol present in the blood when consuming alcohol.
According to a study by the Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, males comprise the largest majority of all drivers that are involved in fatal car crashes in the United States.
Individuals that struggle with alcoholism need empathy and professional treatment; scientific research has clearly shown that punishment does not tend to reduce alcoholic drinking, except with alcohol abusers, who still have some measure of control over their drinking.
