Without help, most alcoholics cannot quit drinking.
Evidence-based interventions to prevent binge drinking and related harms include: Increasing alcoholic beverage costs and excise taxes. Limiting the number of retail alcohol outlets that sell alcoholic beverages in a given area. Consistent enforcement of laws against underage drinking and alcohol-impaired driving. Screening and counseling for alcohol misuse.
Because alcohol is a depressant in the body, high doses of the drug can reduce cell activity; when alcohol is removed from the cells, they recover in a way that produces a change toward stimulation. The body's attempt to produce "normalcy" often leads to over-stimulation, which is known as withdrawal ;thus, binge drinking often leads to a "hangover" (headache, increased stomach acidity, early morning awakening, etc.), and long -term heavy drinking often leads to the "shakes", delirium (hallucinations), and in some instances, seizures.
When chronic heavy drinkers that took place in a government sponsored study substituted alcohol for carbohydrates in their diets, they were reported to lose weight and to weigh less than their nondrinking counterparts; additionally, when chronic heavy drinkers added alcohol to an otherwise normal diet, they did not appear to gain weight.
