A fact of alcoholism is that alcohol affects other systems in the body. Gastrointestinal tract irritation can happen with erosion of the esophagus and stomach linings, causing nausea, vomiting, even bleeding.
According to the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), twin and adoption studies performed over the past two decades clearly suggests that a genetic susceptibility for alcoholism in families exists
If someone begins consuming alcohol at an early age, they are 40% to 60% more likely to become an alcoholic, regardless of family history, and studies indicate a potential for permanent memory impairment.
One 12-oz. beer, one 5-oz. glass of wine and one 1.5 oz. shot of liquor have equal amounts of alcohol.
