According to government research, alcohol is responsible for over 5% of the diseases in the United States, contributing to more than 60 different medical conditions; tobacco is responsible for 4.1% and high blood pressure is responsible for 4.4%.
Some medicines contain up to 10 percent alcohol. Cough syrup and laxatives may have some of the highest alcohol concentrations.
According to a 2006 survey, over one tenth of 12 or 13 year olds and more than one third of 14 or 15 year olds reported alcohol use (a whole drink) in the past year.
Like many other health issues, alcoholism is progressive and can become deadly. If left untreated, an alcoholic is at risk of developing serious health problems.
