  • Sleep disturbances caused by alcoholism include increased time required to fall asleep, frequent awakenings, and a decrease in subjective sleep quality associated with daytime fatigue.
  • An estimated 60% of 18-to 24-year-old current drinkers who failed to complete high school had begun to drink before age 16.
  • A blackout is an amnesia-like period that is often associated with drinking. A person may be functioning normally, but later, the person has no memory of occurrences. During a blackout, an individual can participate in a significant, emotionally charged event but have no recollection of what occurred. When blood alcohol levels rise slowly, people are less likely to experience blackouts, even if they eventually become intoxicated.
  • Alcoholics, do not process alcohol as effectively as non-alcoholics. The alcoholic�'s liver converts alcohol into acetaldehyde at twice the normal rate. At the same time, their ability to convert acetaldehyde into acetic acid is much slower than non-alcoholics. Consequently, the higher concentrations of acetaldehyde can damage liver cells, cause inflammation and exhaust the body�'s immune system. The liver�'s ability to absorb nutrients is compromised. Unfortunately, the damage is not restricted to the liver. An abundance of acetaldehyde will eventually enter the bloodstream which can affect other organs in the body such as the heart or pancreas. It can also affect the brain. The brain, like most body organs, is vulnerable to injury from alcohol consumption. Acetaldehyde can block proper brain function such as the firing of neurotransmitters which affect one�'s mood, memory, and behavior.
