  • According to the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse, the proportion of college students across the United States that meet one or more diagnostic criteria for alcohol abuse or dependence is nearly triple that of the general population.
  • A recent government study shows that alcohol abuse kills as many people in the United States every year as smoking and high blood pressure.
  • Studies indicate that adolescents who consume alcohol heavily may experience adverse effects that disrupt normal growth and affect liver, bone, and endocrine development.
  • A blackout is an amnesia-like period that is often associated with drinking. A person may be functioning normally, but later, the person has no memory of occurrences. During a blackout, an individual can participate in a significant, emotionally charged event but have no recollection of what occurred. When blood alcohol levels rise slowly, people are less likely to experience blackouts, even if they eventually become intoxicated.
