What is alcohol abuse? Alcohol abuse is a health issue. It is characterized by a maladaptive pattern of drinking alcohol that results in negative work, medical, legal, educational, and/or social effects on a person's life. The individual who abuses this substance tends to continue to use it despite such consequences.
Alcohol use depresses the nerves that control involuntary actions such as breathing and the gag reflex (which prevents choking); a fatal dose of alcohol may eventually stop these functions.
Research has shown that people born in recent years tend to consume more alcohol than older generations, suggesting that as the current population ages, these individuals will continue to drink more.
