The latest research on "genomics" is indicating the interplay of several genes may affect the risk factor of developing alcoholism. Some of these gene sequences enhance the risk of becoming alcohol dependent, while other sequences will only somewhat enhance the risk.
Although men are more likely to drink alcohol and drink in larger amounts, gender differences in body structure and chemistry cause women to absorb more alcohol, and take longer to break it down and remove it from their bodies (i.e., to metabolize it). In other words, upon drinking equal amounts, women have higher alcohol levels in their blood than men, and the immediate effects occur more quickly and last longer. These differences also make women more vulnerable to alcohols long-term effects on their health.
Even if an alcoholic is able to succeed at work or hold their marriage together, they cannot escape the effects that alcoholism and alcohol abuse has on their personal relationships, because their drinking problems will put an enormous strain on the people that they are closest to.
A recent study compared the brain scans of teens who consume alcohol heavily with the scans of teens that don't. The study found damaged nerve tissue in the brains of the teens that drank. This damage negatively affects attention span in boys, and girls' ability to comprehend and interpret visual information.
