Because alcoholism has a tendency to run in families, researchers are eager to isolate the genes that may influence a person's vulnerability to this condition; an individual's environment, such as peer pressure, being exposed to alcohol on a regular basis in the home while growing up, and the ease in which they can obtain liquor, also may influence drinking and the development of alcoholism.
Alcohol is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream from the small intestine, and less rapidly from the stomach and colon.
Evidence exists that Hispanics tend to consume alcohol in higher quantities per drinking episode than do Whites, resulting in a higher cumulative dose of alcohol.
According to the most recent information from the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), over 19 million people in the United States who abused alcohol between 2009-2010 needed substance abuse treatment; less than 25% of these individuals actually received it.
