A recent World Health Organization (WHO) report has stated that drinking causes at least 1.8 million deaths a year, or almost five percent of all worldwide deaths. "Public-health problems that are commonly associated with alcohol consumption have reached alarming proportions and alcohol has become one of the most important risks to health globally," the report boldly stated.
A survey of 4,271 students from more than 10 universities found that about a quarter of the students that had consumed alcohol in the past 30 days said they were mixing alcohol with energy drinks, either the premixed kind or Red Bull and vodka.
Scientists now believe that certain factors in a person's environment influence whether a person with a genetic risk for alcoholism ever develops the health problem. A person's risk for developing alcoholism can increase based on the person's environment, including where and how he or she lives; family, friends, and culture; peer pressure; and even how easy it is to get alcohol.
The primary distinction between the alcohol abuser and the alcoholic is a physical dependency on alcohol. Alcoholics meet all of the same criteria for alcohol abuse but have also developed a physical addiction to alcohol.
