An estimated 14 million persons are affected by alcoholism in the USA alone, not including family, friends and others additionally affected by the actions of alcoholics.
Alcoholism, also known as "alcohol dependence," is a serious medical situation that includes four symptoms: Craving: A strong need, or compulsion, to drink. Loss of control: The inability to limit one's drinking on any given occasion. Physical dependence: Withdrawal symptoms, such as nausea, sweating, shakiness, and anxiety, occur when alcohol use is stopped after a period of heavy drinking. Tolerance: The need to drink greater amounts of alcohol in order to "get high."
Not everyone that drinks will develop a tolerance to alcohol, but it can be significant; as some heavy drinkers that have developed a tolerance to alcohol will regularly consume over a quart of hard liquor per day.
There is no amount of alcohol intake that has been proven to be generally safe during pregnancy.
