The fetus is at risk when the mother consumes alcohol during pregnancy. The effects of alcohol consumption during pregnancy can range from slow growth to birth defects and mental retardation; spontaneous abortion or premature birth can also be the result of maternal drinking.
A blackout is an amnesia-like period that is often associated with drinking. A person may be functioning normally, but later, the person has no memory of occurrences. During a blackout, an individual can participate in a significant, emotionally charged event but have no recollection of what occurred. When blood alcohol levels rise slowly, people are less likely to experience blackouts, even if they eventually become intoxicated.
Binge drinking is a common pattern of excessive alcohol use in the United States. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism defines binge drinking as a pattern of drinking that brings a persons blood alcohol concentration (BAC) to 0.08 grams percent or above. This typically happens when men consume 5 or more drinks, and when women consume 4 or more drinks, in about 2 hours.
