Observers a century ago saw that alcoholic mothers produced children with significant mental and physical deficiencies.
Genetic vulnerability coupled with a variety of environmental factors is the cause of most types of alcohol dependence; it is important to note that an individual must first make the choice to drink alcohol in order for the condition of alcoholism to develop.
Alcoholism is a progressive health issue. It gets more severe over time and can be terminal.
Because alcohol is a depressant in the body, high doses of the drug can reduce cell activity; when alcohol is removed from the cells, they recover in a way that produces a change toward stimulation. The body's attempt to produce "normalcy" often leads to over-stimulation, which is known as withdrawal ;thus, binge drinking often leads to a "hangover" (headache, increased stomach acidity, early morning awakening, etc.), and long -term heavy drinking often leads to the "shakes", delirium (hallucinations), and in some instances, seizures.
