People among the ages of 12 to 20 years of age drink 11% of all alcohol consumed in the United States.
The consumption of alcohol can greatly impair an individual's ability to drive safely and cause reduced judgment and an euphoric "high" that makes the person feel that they can drive safely when in fact their ability is reduced.
Men are almost twice as likely as women to drive a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol and to be involved in a fatal collision.
Although eating will not help you to sober up while you're drunk, eating while you drink or before you go to sleep after drinking can lessen the intensity of the next day's hangover. That's because when you eat, your stomach holds the food for digestion, closing its contents off from the small intestine. Alcohol is absorbed into the body most quickly from the small intestine, so if the alcohol cannot reach the small intestine, it cannot be absorbed that way. (Though it will still be absorbed through the stomach, it will take longer, thereby allowing the liver to break down the alcohol that�'s already in the bloodstream.) Giving the alcohol time to be metabolized is what will lessen your hungover feeling.
