When alcohol is consumed into the body it is converted to acetaldehyde in the liver. Acetaldehyde is a toxic substance that can be harmful to the body. For the normal drinker, the liver quickly coverts acetaldehyde into a substance called acetic acid. Acetic acid does not have the same toxic or harmful qualities as acetaldehyde. The body then converts acetic acid into carbon dioxide and water which is released through the body�'s urinary and respiratory systems.
Rates of heavy alcohol use are highest among those with less than a college degree.
According to the National Household Survey on Drug Use and Health and the College Alcohol Study, of the over 8 million college students in the United States, more than 2 million drove under the influence of alcohol, and more than 3 million rode with a drinking driver in the previous year.
Alcohol use may increase the risk of suicide by deepening depression and negatively affecting the ability to make decisions under stress.
