Critical signs of alcohol poisoning can include when a person cannot be roused, vomiting, seizures, slow breathing, irregular breathing (more than 10 seconds between breaths), hypothermia, stupor or coma.
Drinkers who consume alcohol mixed with energy drinks are 3 times more likely to binge drink than those who do not report mixing alcohol with energy drinks.
Genetics: Alcoholism is a complex health issue. Therefore, there are likely to be many genes involved in increasing a person's risk for alcoholism. Scientists are searching for these genes, and have found areas on chromosomes where they are probably located. Powerful new techniques may permit researchers to identify and measure the specific contribution of each gene to the complex behaviors associated with heavy drinking. This research will provide the basis for new medications to treat alcohol-related problems.
The fetus is at risk when the mother consumes alcohol during pregnancy. The effects of alcohol consumption during pregnancy can range from slow growth to birth defects and mental retardation; spontaneous abortion or premature birth can also be the result of maternal drinking.
