Many different studies have reported that nearly all alcoholics who try to cut down on drinking are not able to do so for an indefinite amount of time, without eventually becoming alcohol dependent again; abstaining from alcohol completely is almost always necessary for an individual to be truly "recovered".
There is some evidence that the flavored beverages known as' malternatives' or "alopops" are increasing the amount of alcohol that teenagers are consuming due to the masking of the taste of hard alcohol.
Blood Alcohol Level of .35%: This blood alcohol level also happens to be the level of surgical anesthesia. You may stop breathing at this point. In February 1996, a second student, age 20, died of alcohol poisoning with a BAL of .34% after drinking six beers and twelve shots in two hours.
What does moderate drinking mean? There is no one definition of moderate drinking, but generally the term is used to describe a lower-risk pattern of drinking. According to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, drinking in moderation is defined as having no more than 1 drink per day for women and no more than 2 drinks per day for men. This definition is referring to the amount consumed on any single day and is not intended as an average over several days.
