What health problems are associated with excessive alcohol use? Excessive drinking both in the form of heavy drinking or binge drinking, is associated with numerous health problems, including: Chronic diseases such as liver cirrhosis (damage to liver cells); pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas); various cancers, including liver, mouth, throat, larynx (the voice box), and esophagus; high blood pressure; and psychological disorders. Unintentional injuries, such as motor-vehicle traffic crashes, falls, drowning, burns and firearm injuries. Violence, such as child maltreatment, homicide, and suicide. Harm to a developing fetus if a woman drinks while pregnant, such as fetal alcohol spectrum disorders. Sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). Alcohol abuse or dependence.
Most people who develop dependence on alcohol do so between 18 and 25 years of age.
The highest prevalence of binge drinking was linked to young adults that are between the ages of 18 and 25, with the peak rate occurring at age 21.
Cognitive performance is less affected by alcohol exposure in infants and children whose mothers quit consuming alcohol in early pregnancy, despite the mothers' resumption of alcohol use after giving birth.
