Because alcohol is a depressant in the body, high doses of the drug can reduce cell activity; when alcohol is removed from the cells, they recover in a way that produces a change toward stimulation. The body's attempt to produce "normalcy" often leads to over-stimulation, which is known as withdrawal ;thus, binge drinking often leads to a "hangover" (headache, increased stomach acidity, early morning awakening, etc.), and long -term heavy drinking often leads to the "shakes", delirium (hallucinations), and in some instances, seizures.
If a person suspects that an individual may have alcohol poisoning, they should know the danger signals and be aware that a person who has passed out could possibly die
Alcohol abuse and dependency and related problems are increasing. About 15% of the population in the United States are problem drinkers.
During 2008, over 600,000 high school and college aged students that were between the ages of 18 and 24 were assaulted by another student that was under the influence of alcohol.
