It is the amount of alcohol that is consumed that affects an individual the most, not the type of alcoholic drink; a person may drink a 12 ounce beer or an one and a half ounce shot--both have about the same amount of alcohol.
The cerebellum is the part of your brain that is involved with coordinating movement. Alcohol consumption causes problems with coordination, reflexes, and balance. This occurs at a blood alcohol level of .15-.35%.
Excessive alcohol consumption is more common among women who have never married, are living unmarried with a partner, or are divorced or separated.
Are Beer and Wine Safer Than Liquor? No. Alcohol is alcohol. It can cause you problems no matter how you consume it. One 12-ounce bottle of beer or a 5-ounce glass of wine (about a half cup) has as much alcohol as a 1.5-ounce shot of liquor.
