People who suffer from emotional problems, such as anxiety or depression are reported to be at a particularly high risk for alcoholism, because alcohol may be used to self-medicate.
Fetal Alcohol Syndrome is not just a childhood disorder, but a condition resulting from exposure to alcohol as a fetus which can cause a wide range of lifelong physical and mental disabilities.
An individual who reaches for alcohol every day as a way to relax or as a way to self medicate or to relieve stress is at risk for developing an alcohol addiction; an example of this is the individual who has a drink every time they have an argument with their spouse or boss.
Blood Alcohol Level of .20%: You feel confused, dazed, or otherwise disoriented. You need help to stand up or walk. If you hurt yourself at this point, you probably won't realize it because you won't feel pain. If you are aware you've injured yourself, chances are you won't do anything about it. At this point you may experience nausea and/or start vomiting (keep in mind that for some people, a lower blood alcohol level than .20% may cause vomiting). Your gag reflex is impaired, so you could choke if you do throw up. Since blackouts are likely at this level, you may not remember any of this.
