Alcohol binge drinking is a risk factor for sexual assault, especially among young women in college settings. Approximately 1 in 20 college women are sexually assaulted each year.
Adolescents consume less alcohol and have fewer alcohol-related problems when their parents discipline them consistently and set clear expectations.
Several reputable studies have reported that binges of alcohol exposure in young animals can cause damage to nerve cells, but there is not yet any direct evidence that this happens in humans.
Treatment: NIAAA-supported researchers have made considerable progress in evaluating commonly used therapies and in developing new types of therapies to treat alcohol-related problems. One large-scale study sponsored by NIAAA found that each of three commonly used behavioral treatments for alcohol abuse and alcoholism-motivation enhancement therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, and 12-step facilitation therapy-significantly reduced drinking in the year following treatment. This study also found that approximately one-third of the study participants who were followed up either were still abstinent or were drinking without serious problems 3 years after the study ended. Other therapies that have been evaluated and found effective in reducing alcohol problems include brief intervention for alcohol abusers (individuals who are not dependent on alcohol) and behavioral marital therapy for married alcohol-dependent individuals.
