The main difference between alcoholism (pathological alcohol dependence) and willful alcohol abuse is whether a person can stop drinking at will; if they cannot, then there is "impaired control" over their alcohol use, which is the primary indicator of an alcohol addiction.
People who suffer from emotional problems, such as anxiety or depression are reported to be at a particularly high risk for alcoholism, because alcohol may be used to self-medicate.
Nearly two-thirds of children 15 and younger who died in alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes were riding with the drinking driver, 20% of which were properly restrained at the time of the crash, and that restraint use decreased as the driver's blood alcohol concentration increased.
Once alcohol is in the stomach, it is absorbed directly into your blood stream through the tissue lining of the stomach and the small intestine; the rate of absorption is slowed down significantly by food.
