Alcoholism can be a way to deal with stress, anxiety and other feelings; many alcoholics tend to develop certain drinking rituals, which can be a part of what sets the stage for an alcohol addiction; an example of this is having a drink every night before or after dinner.
Obstetricians and other health care providers are beginning to be trained to assess all women's drinking behavior during prenatal visits; this assessment can open the door for clinicians to counsel women more intensely about the dangers of drinking alcohol during pregnancy.

Alcohol is made as plant sugars in fruits come into contact with a fungus called yeast and they begin to ferment; as they rot, they will excrete a toxic substance called ethanol or ethyl alcohol--or simply alcohol. In the fermentation process, the yeast continues to feed on the plant sugars, thus the alcohol concentration levels rise; once these levels get closer to 14 percent, the yeast dies, quite literally, of alcohol poisoning.
