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.
In the past three years, the UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento saw a 30 percent increase in children between 12 and 17 checking into the ER with injuries from binge drinking, with higher blood alcohol levels than in the past.
Alcohol causes euphoria, which depresses appetite, which is why a lot of heavy drinkers tend to eat poorly and become malnourished.
It is important that young women are educated early on about their unique health risks, particularly with respect to alcohol; recent findings from Society for Women's Health Research (SWHR) has reported that girls are experimenting with alcohol at ever-younger ages, which underscores the importance of early education in regard to the dangers related to alcohol abuse.
