Alcoholics and individuals that abuse alcohol are much more likely to: have legal issues marital and domestic violence problems, struggle with unemployment, and to live in poverty.
When a person drinks six to seven alcoholic drinks, vomiting can occur, except in the case of the person that has developed a tolerance to alcohol; the person may get drowsy and could display emotional instability, and impairment of perception, memory, and comprehension.
Physical changes that are commonly associated with the aging process can make older people feel "high" even after drinking small amounts of alcohol. So even if there is no medical reason to avoid alcohol, older men and women should consider limiting themselves to one to two drinks per day.
Underage drinking is dangerous and it's against the law, except in special cases, such as when it is part of a religious ceremony.
