Alcohol is a very dangerous drug, as people who are drunk can overdose on alcohol and die either by suffocating on their vomit while drunk or sleeping, or because it can shut down the brain areas that control breathing.
Alcohol affects every organ in the body and it is a central nervous system depressant that is rapidly absorbed from the small intestine into the bloodstream.
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.
The odds of women experiencing sexual aggression were up to 10 times higher on days when they were drinking heavily as compared to days in which no alcohol was being consumed.
