There is some evidence that the flavored beverages known as' malternatives' or "alopops" are increasing the amount of alcohol that teenagers are consuming due to the masking of the taste of hard alcohol.

Any concerns you may have about discussing drinking-related problems with your health care provider or contacting a drug rehabilitation program may stem from common misconceptions about alcoholism and alcoholic people. In our society, the myth prevails that an alcohol problem is a sign of moral weakness. As a result, you may feel that to seek help is to admit some type of shameful defect in yourself. In fact, alcoholism is a serious health problem that is no more a sign of weakness than is asthma. Moreover, taking steps to identify a possible drinking problem has an enormous payoff-a chance for a healthier, more rewarding life.
Over time, excessive alcohol use can lead to the development of chronic diseases, neurological impairments and social problems. These include but are not limited to: Gastrointestinal problems, including pancreatitis and gastritis.
