The consequences of alcohol misuse are serious-in many cases, life threatening. Heavy drinking can increase the risk for certain cancers, especially those of the liver, esophagus, throat, and larynx (voice box).
According to a recent study by the Center for Alcohol Research in Denmark, people who drink are more likely to be apple-shaped; thus explaining the term "beer belly" which is often used in describing someone who drinks regularly and has the physical characteristics of this body type.
Between 2001-2005 in the U.S., binge drinking was responsible for more than half of the estimated 79,000 deaths and two thirds of the estimated 2.3 million years of potential life lost.
According to the center of Alcohol Studies at Yale University, there are approximately 60 to 70 million drinkers in the United States that are over the age of 15 years old.
