Drinking can negatively impact how a person performs as a parent or partner; it can also lead a person to be violent, to spend more time away from home, or to cause their loved ones to feel anxiety, fear and depression.
When alcohol is consumed into the body it is converted to acetaldehyde in the liver. Acetaldehyde is a toxic substance that can be harmful to the body. For the normal drinker, the liver quickly coverts acetaldehyde into a substance called acetic acid. Acetic acid does not have the same toxic or harmful qualities as acetaldehyde. The body then converts acetic acid into carbon dioxide and water which is released through the body�'s urinary and respiratory systems.
Alcohol (ethanol) is made from fermentation of various different plant products; examples of this are when corn mash fermentation produces bourbon; potatoes produce vodka; hops and malt, wheat and other grains are used in beer production; rice for the Japanese wine sake; malted barley for scotch whiskey; grapes for the different wines; grains and berries for gin; and many different fruits are used to produce sweet liqueurs.
In the U.S., more than 40% of those who start drinking at age 14 or younger become alcoholic.
