Many people wonder why some individuals can use alcohol without problems but others cannot. One important reason has to do with genetics. Scientists have found that having an alcoholic family member makes it more likely that if you choose to drink you too may develop alcoholism. Genes, however, are not the whole story.
The presence of food in the stomach slows the rate of alcohol absorption, but the amount of alcohol that is actually being absorbed remains unchanged.
When an individual is determined to have a blood alcohol level of .3%, they will most likely be on the verge of unconsciousness; when the blood alcohol level reaches .4% or above, it could be deadly.
Many youth also die every year of alcohol related accidents such as homicide, falls, burns and drowning, according to research by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA).
