Moderate alcohol use commonly carries connotations of pleasure and sociability; in comparison, the harmful consequences of alcohol abuse are often diverse and widespread.
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.
Carbonation works to speed the absorption of alcohol; food and water help to slow this absorption.
