The primary distinction between the alcohol abuser and the alcoholic is a physical dependency on alcohol. Alcoholics meet all of the same criteria for alcohol abuse but have also developed a physical addiction to alcohol.
The general path of alcohol, after it is consumed is by way of the mouth, stomach, small intestine, heart, brain and the liver.
The metabolic breakdown of alcohol is performed by the enzyme alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH), which is found mostly in the liver; over 90% of all alcohol removal from the body is done by ADH.
Almost 2,000 people under 21 years of age die each year in car crashes in which underage drinking is involved. Alcohol is involved in nearly half of all violent deaths involving teens.
