  • According to a study that was conducted by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, heavy drinking by college students is prevalent and, among some students, quite frequent; more than 80% of college students reported consuming alcohol in the past year, with more than 40% reporting at least one episode of binge drinking in the previous 2 weeks.
  • The physical symptoms of alcohol dependence include an overwhelming compulsion to drink, the inability to stop or control one's drinking, and the need to drink larger amounts of alcohol in order to get the same effect, which is referred to as developing a tolerance.

  • A variety of factors influence the absorption process of alcohol, including the presence of food and the type of food that is in the stomach when alcohol is consumed; the actual rate of which the alcohol is absorbed depends largely on how quickly the stomach empties its contents into the intestine.
