Does heavy chronic drinking have health consequences? Absolutely. Chronic heavy drinking can result in serious damage to the liver, heart, brain and other vital organs. Such severe physical damage may result in serious illnesses or even early death.
60% of college women who are infected with STDs, including genital herpes and AIDS, report that they were under the influence of alcohol at the time they had intercourse with the infected person.
New brain scan research shows that alcohol affects decision-making and judgment by reducing activity in the frontal lobes, where such functions reside; it appears that prior alcohol induced impaired function of these same brain areas leads to alcohol dependence, making it almost impossible for the person to exert conscious will over whether they can stop drinking or not in the absence of treatment.
Although men are more likely to drink alcohol and drink in larger amounts, gender differences in body structure and chemistry cause women to absorb more alcohol, and take longer to break it down and remove it from their bodies (i.e., to metabolize it). In other words, upon drinking equal amounts, women have higher alcohol levels in their blood than men, and the immediate effects occur more quickly and last longer. These differences also make women more vulnerable to alcohols long-term effects on their health.
