Scientists now believe that certain factors in a person's environment influence whether a person with a genetic risk for alcoholism ever develops the health problem. A person's risk for developing alcoholism can increase based on the person's environment, including where and how he or she lives; family, friends, and culture; peer pressure; and even how easy it is to get alcohol.
Excessive drinking of alcohol is associated with liver cirrhosis (damage to liver cells); pancreatitis (inflammation of the pancreas); various cancers, including liver, mouth, throat, larynx (the voice box), and esophagus; high blood pressure; and psychological disorders.
Studies suggest that individuals who do not meet the criteria for alcohol dependence or abuse, but who are drinking at levels that place them at risk for increased problems, can be helped through screening and brief intervention.
The highest prevalence of binge drinking was linked to young adults that are between the ages of 18 and 25, with the peak rate occurring at age 21.
