  • The average adult metabolizes alcohol at a rate of about 8.5 g of alcohol per hour (i.e. about two-thirds of a regular beer). This rate can vary depending on several different factors, including the amount of alcohol that an individual normally drinks, whether they are male and female, liver size, and genetic factors.
  • When alcoholic beverages are mixed with energy drinks, the caffeine in these drinks can mask the depressant effects of alcohol.
  • In a study of normal healthy men who received alcohol for 4 weeks, testosterone levels declined after only 5 days and continued to fall throughout the study period. Prolonged testosterone deficiency may cause a "femininization" of male sexual characteristics, for example breast enlargement.
  • One of the biggest examples of the effects of alcohol abuse is malnutrition. If you notice a reduced appetite from continuous drinking, then this is where it starts. It also leads to your intestinal track not being able to absorb vital nutrients. After all, alcohol provides empty calories.
