According to alcoholism poisoning statistics, an estimated 1 in 1000 cases of alcohol poisoning result in death.
The Task Force on Community Preventive Services recommends implementing and maintaining an age 21 minimum legal drinking age (MLDA) based on strong evidence of effectiveness, including a median 16% decline in motor vehicle crashes among underage youth in states that increased the legal drinking age to 21 years.
An alcoholic will continue to drink despite the negative effects to their health, family, job related or legal problems; the risk for developing alcoholism can be heavily influenced by environmental factors.
