Alcohol intoxication can be harmful for a variety of reasons, including: Impaired brain function resulting in poor judgment, reduced reaction time, loss of balance and motor skills, or slurred speech Dilation of blood vessels causing a feeling of warmth but resulting in rapid loss of body heat Increased risk of certain cancers, stroke, and liver diseases (e.g., cirrhosis), particularly when excessive amounts of alcohol are consumed over extended periods of time Damage to a developing fetus if consumed by pregnant women Increased risk of motor-vehicle traffic crashes, violence, and other injuries Coma and death can occur if alcohol is consumed rapidly and in large amounts
According to the Task Force of the National Advisory Council on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, despite campus and legislative policy changes that have been implemented by colleges throughout the United States, there has not been any significant change in the amounts of alcohol consumed or patterns of high-risk drinking over the last 20 years.
10-15% of drinkers will become alcoholic. Contrary to popular belief, alcohol is not an addictive drug. Only a small percentage of drinkers will develop a physiological dependency on alcohol.
Studies by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) have reported that alcoholics have difficulty sleeping and spend less time in the most important phase of sleep known as REM (rapid eye movement).
