The tendency towards alcohol abuse or dependence later in life increases by 12 percent for each year of decrease in the age at first drink for both men and women.
Adults, age 26 and older, consume an average of two to three alcoholic drinks per occasion about nine times a month.
In severe cases of alcoholism, individuals may begin to experience delirium tremens ('the DTs') when they withdraw from alcohol; this condition in alcoholics can be fatal.
