Alcoholism is neglected in the education of U.S. physicians, and other health professionals; the irony of this fact is that these clinicians are in a position that affords them a number of great opportunities to affect their patient's alcohol habits and to refer them to treatment if necessary.
Of the 23.5 million persons aged 12 or older needing treatment for an illicit drug or alcohol abuse problem in 2009, only 2.6 million of those who needed treatment received it at a specialty facility.
An estimated 6 % of the offspring of alcoholic women have Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS); the FAS risk for offspring born after a FAS sibling, is as much as 70%.
The areas of the brain that are affected by high alcohol consumption are the "memory center" of the brain called the hippocampus; the cerebellum, which controls muscle coordination, can also be greatly affected by heavy drinking.
