- Binge drinking is a common pattern of excessive alcohol use in the United States. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines binge drinking as a pattern of drinking that brings a persons blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above. This typically happens when men consume 5 or more drinks, and when women consume 4 or more drinks, in about 2 hours.
- A recent government conducted medical study indicates that people with a variant of the DRD2 gene (a gene associated with dopamine function in the brain) may be more prone to receive pleasure from drinking; since this gen merely relates to the pleasure associated with drinking, this research cannot conclude that DRD2 causes alcohol dependence.
- Alcohol consumption causes the body to overproduce inflammatory chemicals called Cytokins. This results in memory loss, loss of focus, and sometimes pain in the head.
- In premenopausal women, chronic heavy drinking may cause a cessation of menstruation, irregular menstrual cycles, menstrual cycles without ovulation, early menopause, and increased risk of spontaneous abortions.
