In one study, an estimated 79% of adolescent runaways and homeless youth reported alcohol use in the home, 53% reported problem drinking in the home, and 54% reported drug use in the home.
High school students who consume alcohol are twice as likely to have seriously considered attempting suicide, as compared to nondrinkers.
The effects of alcoholism is what defines the problem, not when a person drinks or even how much they drink; if drinking is causing a person problems at home or work, whether they drink daily or just binge drink on weekends-they have a drinking problem and could possibly be classified as an alcoholic.
Women become more impaired than men do after drinking the exact same amount of alcohol; this happens because women's bodies have less water than men's bodies. Because alcohol mixes with body water, alcohol becomes more highly concentrated in a woman's body than in a man's; a simple way to explain this is to use the example of dropping the same amount of alcohol into a much smaller pail of water.
