  • Alcohol is abused by some 14 million Americans and contributes to the deaths of 100,000 each year.
  • While a couple of drinks make most people feel relaxed, more alcohol may cause feelings of anxiety, depression, and often aggression. Alcohol�''s first effect as it reaches the outer brain is to distort your judgment and lower you inhibition, while producing euphoria (a sense of pleasure).
  • Alcohol has been known to increase digestion, but this may be due to its relaxing effect, when a person has a couple of drinks before a meal. In higher "doses", alcohol can cause gastritis (inflammation of the stomach lining), which is one of the reasons that an individual may experience heartburn and nausea the day after binge drinking; heavy drinking on a continuous basis can lead to stomach ulceration.
  • Taxpayers cover much of the cost of alcohol-related disease through publicly funded insurance policies like Medicaid.
