  • According to a study that was conducted by the National Institute of Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), decades of heavy drinking can create damage to brain cells; this is particularly true as it pertains to the hippocampus, which is the portion of the brain that controls memory.
  • In a study of parents who significantly maltreat their children, alcohol abuse was specifically associated with physical abuse.
  • Heavy drinkers are at least nine times more likely to get cancer than those who drink in moderation or not at all.
  • Although eating will not help you to sober up while you're drunk, eating while you drink or before you go to sleep after drinking can lessen the intensity of the next day's hangover. That's because when you eat, your stomach holds the food for digestion, closing its contents off from the small intestine. Alcohol is absorbed into the body most quickly from the small intestine, so if the alcohol cannot reach the small intestine, it cannot be absorbed that way. (Though it will still be absorbed through the stomach, it will take longer, thereby allowing the liver to break down the alcohol that�'s already in the bloodstream.) Giving the alcohol time to be metabolized is what will lessen your hungover feeling.
