Approximately 4.5 million adolescents are among the nation�''s alcoholics and problem drinkers.
Studies by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) have reported that alcoholics have difficulty sleeping and spend less time in the most important phase of sleep known as REM (rapid eye movement).
Alcohol abuse differs from alcoholism in that it does not include an extremely strong craving for alcohol, loss of control over drinking, or physical dependence. Alcohol abuse is defined as a pattern of drinking that results in one or more of the following situations within a 12-month period: Failure to fulfill major work, school, or home responsibilities. Drinking in situations that are physically dangerous, such as while driving a car or operating machinery. Having recurring alcohol-related legal problems, such as being arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol or for physically hurting someone while drunk. Continued drinking despite having ongoing relationship problems that are caused or worsened by the drinking. Although alcohol abuse is basically different from alcoholism, many effects of alcohol abuse are also experienced by alcoholics.
When a person's blood alcohol level ranges from .02 g/100ml to .08 g/100ml he/she usually has a change in mood and may have trouble interpreting what he/she sees and hears.
