More than 100,000 U.S. deaths are caused by excessive alcohol consumption each year. Direct and indirect causes of death include drunk driving, cirrhosis of the liver, falls, cancer, and stroke.
A variety of factors influence the absorption process of alcohol, including the presence of food and the type of food that is in the stomach when alcohol is consumed; the actual rate of which the alcohol is absorbed depends largely on how quickly the stomach empties its contents into the intestine.
Excessive alcohol use over time can result in social problems, including unemployment, lost productivity, and family problems.
When a person drinks heavily on a regular basis, their body becomes accustomed to alcohol and they may experience a number of withdrawal symptoms if the use of alcohol is discontinued; these symptoms can include: anxiety, trembling or shakiness, nausea and vomiting, insomnia, depression, irritability, fatigue, loss of appetite and headache.
